Happy New year everyone! This Wanwisa Wednesday, I’d like to share some of my favorite centerpiece looks that feature fresh and new color combos, unique floral and fauna, and other off-the-beaten-path design elements … it’s a post that’ll bring a little something new to the New Year! Enjoy!

I love how a little touch of black instantly creates a sophisticated look when combined with happy and casual yellows and creams in the first table top design by Belle Fleur via Brides.com. The second look combines a clean modern look with silver and pewter antique shades that results in an overall fresh and divine look {created by Artfool via Brides.com}. The last look I’m featuring from Brides.com is Daivd Beahm Design’s glimmering Orange look where modern glass candle holders add elegance to a sunset-hued marigold “pond” sprinkled with candlelight – gorgeous! Look beyond wedding-centric design for something unique like Colin Cowie’s all-green design for an InStyle bash at New York’s Guggenheim Museum where green flowers sit beside arrangements of grass and cabbage. Check out another design by Colin Cowie that features a very affordable flower – daisies; the dramatic color scheme of fushia and saffron filling up dramatic long tables says anything but budget! The next two table settings are by uber talented Preston Bailey; the first, a cozy yellow look with a Spanish flair and the second, an effortless look of cream and sage showcasing a dramatic pond of various ivory arrangements and floating gardenias. The bottom row features smaller-scale ideas from Martha Stewart {I simply can’t create in inspiration board without a little Martha!}; a witty use of tin tea containers make a lovely centerpiece design, the combination of dramatic purple with succulents prove to be very of-the-moment, tiny flowers in tiny vases can wow your guests when arranged in a unique fashion, and you can never go wrong with peonies arranged in various ivory bowls!

Until next week! Xoxo Wanwisa
