Choose wedding centrepieces that work at the table
A centrepiece must leave room for guests, serving pieces and conversation while meeting the venue's safety and cleanup rules.
- Measure the actual table and place settings before approving a design.
- Keep the arrangement below or above normal sightlines and test it while seated.
- Confirm flame, water, floral, food-service and removal rules with the venue.
Match the arrangement to the meal service
Family-style dishes, shared platters and beverage service need more clear table area. Ask catering and decor teams to approve one sample place setting together.
Control substitutions
List the acceptable flower, vessel, candle and foliage alternatives in advance. Confirm which pieces are rented, who owns them and when they must be collected.
Questions couples ask
How tall should a wedding centrepiece be?
There is no fixed height. Test it with seated guests and the complete place setting so faces, serving and conversation are not blocked.
Are candles allowed in UAE wedding venues?
Rules vary by venue and setup. Get written approval for the exact candle, holder and placement, and use an approved alternative if open flame is restricted.
