Wedding Decor Market Overview

As the global wedding services market continues to expand with a projected CAGR of 4.8% from 2021 to 2030, the decoration services segment is expected to be the largest predominant channel in 2030, stated by the Allied Market Research Stats. North America holds the highest revenue share in 2020. According to Statista’s 2024 stats, in the US alone, couples spend an average of $1,900 on wedding lighting and decor.

Key drivers include the rise of personalization, eco-conscious decor, and the influence of social media and celebrity weddings. Tabletop decor, especially centerpieces, is one of the most important elements couples focus on.

Popular Types of Wedding Centerpieces

While trends come and go, these wedding centerpiece styles remain popular:

• Floral arrangements – lush blooms in classic round or trendy loose, organic shapes
• Greenery garlands – foliage runners, often mixed with candles or flowers
• Candles – votives, taper candles, floating candles for a romantic glow
• Lanterns – rustic, vintage, or modern lanterns with pillar candles
• Potted plants – small trees, succulents, or herbs for an eco-chic look

Couples also love to personalize their centerpieces with table numbers, photos, favors, and other decorative accents that match their theme.

2024 Wedding Table Decor Trends

We’ve observed a notable increase in searches for wedding centerpieces and related decorations on Amazon since last quarter, highlighting a growing interest in this category. And below are some key take-away insights from the end-user.

●     Unique Vessels

Couples are moving beyond basic glass vases and incorporating unique     vessels into their centerpieces. Some popular options:

• Wooden boxes – rustic, reclaimed wood boxes or troughs
• Metallic containers – hammered gold, copper, or silver urns and compotes
• Colored glass – blue, amber, or smoke gray vases and bottles
• Baskets – woven rattan, seagrass, and bamboo baskets

“Mixing and matching different vessels brings texture and interest to the table,” advises event designer Eddie Zaratsian. Curate a diverse selection of containers to give couples plenty of options.

●     Dried Flowers and Pampas Grass:

Dried florals have been a trend in home décor and weddings for years. Dried flowers and grasses add texture and a boho vibe to wedding centerpieces. Bleached Italian ruscus, bunny tails, and palm leaves are other popular picks. “Dried floral is becoming a mainstay because it lasts longer and can be reused after the wedding,” says celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss. Consider stocking up on dried floral supplies and pre-made arrangements.

●     Fruit and Veggies

Colorful citrus fruits, pomegranates, artichokes, and even leafy veggies are making their way into wedding centerpieces. Fruit and vegetable decor adds a fresh twist and pops of natural color. “Couples are looking beyond typical blooms and greenery,” notes floral designer Kristen Griffith-VanderYacht. Faux fruit picks, garlands, and filler options could be a smart addition to your decor selection.

●     Colored Taper Candles

Vibrant taper candles are an easy way to bring color and ambiance to wedding tablescapes. “Colorful candles add visual interest and height without obstructing conversation,” says Weiss. Trending colors range from earthy terracotta and mauve to bold cobalt blue and emerald green. Stock up on taper candles in various colors, as well as modern and vintage candlestick holders.

●     Suspended Florals

Hanging floral installations over tables is a jaw-dropping decor trend. Suspended wreaths, garlands, and individual blooms add a magical touch.

“Floating flowers are a fresh alternative or complement to traditional centerpieces,” says Griffith-VanderYacht. Consider stocking floral hoops, hanging glass orbs, and cascading garlands along with decor stands and hanging hardware.

●     Technologically Enhanced Decorations

LED lights and interactive elements are becoming staples in modern wedding table decorations. Features such as programmable light shows and decorations that react to music are enhancing the sensory experience at wedding receptions, making them memorable and unique.

●     Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Options

In response to a growing demand for sustainability, innovations in biodegradable and recyclable materials are becoming more prevalent in wedding decorations. Products such as bamboo table runners, biodegradable confetti, and reusable decor items are appealing to eco-conscious couples and can differentiate a retailer’s offerings.

●     Mixing and Matching Elements

Another popular trend in 2024 is mixing and matching different decor elements to create a unique and eclectic look. This includes combining vintage glassware with modern geometric shapes, or pairing rustic wooden accents with elegant floral arrangements. Sellers should curate a diverse selection of products to allow couples to mix and match to their liking.

Selecting the Right Products for Your Business

To capitalize on these centerpiece trends, focus on curating a versatile selection of products that can be mixed and matched to suit different styles and budgets. Some key items to consider:
