The trend of marriages as a social custom is changing.
Now days it is seen that most of the couple are earning, putting aside money for their own marriage.
They tend to keep the expenses to a minimum and spend frugally.
One does not come across a case where parents are hosting the entire wedding anymore.
Parents do contribute but to a very small degree of course.
In wanting to be more practical, sometimes brides make their own invitation designs, bake their own wedding cake, sew their own trousseau and also make their own bouquets.
The center table demands a lot of attention for this will be the main attraction during the wedding reception.
You would need to ensure that you use the best linen and decorate the tables well.
You would need to design and create a good combination for the centerpiece as well as the table covers.
Generally you will see many women preferring to use while or ivory colored satin or silk fabric that flows and makes the centerpiece stand out.
You can also use a contrasting border or make it unique by using a deep red or any other contrasting color too.
You can use the color combination's that you have used in the centerpiece to reflect the same in the other tables but in different style and design by using the combination's in napkins, rings and the table cover etc.
If you want to really make an impression on the guests, you can do something unique by designing your own wedding china or choose wedding china that is out of the ordinary and something, which stands out.
If you are not making it an elaborate affair, then make sure the centerpiece looks big and outstanding to make a lasting impression on the guests.
You can use flower arrangement along with fruit arrangements with exotic fruits and dishes to make the entire fair look very attractive.
