Spring is just around the corner! Along with warmer weather (although we can’t really complain about cold weather in Phoenix, can we? Perks of living in the desert!), wedding season officially kicks off each Spring. The coming months are some of the most popular times to get married in Phoenix. In fact, wedding planner and relationship coach Larry James says there are two primary wedding seasons in Arizona. James says, “The busiest months for weddings in Arizona are March, April and May and then October, November and December.” Both seasons differ from traditional popular summer wedding seasons in the rest of the country. To get ready for the spring wedding season, we’ve curated a post of 6 trending centerpieces for spring weddings and events. Check it out!

Go Geometric
Geometric shapes and abstract patterns have been popular in design in recent years. The trend sticks around in 2017 with a few key twists that give it a modern vibe. In 2017, we see geometric centerpiece holders taking even more abstract shapes and appearing in brighter colors than in past years. Saturated colors and shimmery metallics give the trend a refreshed feel. Consider adding geometric shapes and elements to your wedding or event this year.
Desert Motif
Arizona’s unique desert landscape makes for ideal event inspiration. From home decor to wedding designs, desert motif is popular for 2017, especially for Phoenix-area events. Desert-inspired centerpieces often incorporate cacti, deer antlers, and other natural elements like wood slices, rocks, and other locally found shrubbery. Besides the gorgeous visual element, these centerpieces are often significantly more cost effective than traditional floral centerpieces.
From Farmhouse to Wedding Centerpiece
This year food items like fruit and vegetables are making their way into wedding centerpieces. Brightly colored fruit and veggies serve as unique tools to add pops of color and highlight secondary event colors in centerpieces. Popular fruit and veggie items include oranges, apples, lemon, squash, and pineapples. Consider adding fruit and veggies to your centerpiece and letting guests take them home afterwards!
Pretty Paper Art Centerpieces
Paper art takes over event decor in 2017. This fun trend is used in everything from centerpieces to invitations to seating charts. The trend stemmed from origami art popular in Japan and has since moved into modern weddings and events. From paper airplanes to head-sized flowers, the best part about this trend is that paper designs can be created to take just about any shape imaginable. For unique wedding decor, try incorporating paper design elements into your centerpiece.
Greenery is in!
With the announcement of Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2017 as Greenery, this year weddings and events are focusing on incorporating more green foliage and less traditional florals. This trend is great for couples looking to keep costs down. Flowers can often be one of the most expensive parts of a wedding. Replace flowers with lush vibrant plants like: ferns, fiddle leaf fig plants, and herbs. Succulents are always a great idea too. Green plants are on trend and on budget for 2017 spring weddings!
Hot Air Balloon Centerpieces
This year balloons get an updated twist to make them appropriate for formal weddings and corporate events. Hot air balloon-inspired centerpieces are a great example. Using flower bases and balloons wrapped in netting, these unique centerpieces are both sophisticated and unexpected, creating a true statement piece guests will remember for years.
