When it comes to creating an impressive tablescape, you can’t forget the centerpiece. It will be the focal point of the table and should tie all of the surrounding elements together. Get inspired by some of our favorite non floral table centerpieces, available for rent!

Acrylic Boxes

An elegant centerpiece, our Acrylic Rectangular Container is a simple yet versatile piece. As shown below, it can be used to feature candles and create a unique lighting element. It can be used to hold food, such as fresh rolls of bread for dinnertime. The possibilities are limitless and we would be glad to help you create a special centerpiece for your event!

Lanterns

Simple yet beautiful centerpiece, lanterns double as both centerpieces and lighting. They are a beautiful alternative to votives, or can be used to lend some height to the table.

You can display cheese, fruit or event dessert – like tasty donuts or cupcakes! We have a variety of cake stands to suit any wedding theme or style, including the Wyatt Pedestal Cake Stand and Glass Cake Stand.
