Theme
When you start planning your floral wedding centerpiece it is important to take into cosideration the theme of your wedding.

With a little thoguht prior to going tot he florist to pick flowers you can typically tie a wedding theme with some unique type of flower.
Time
As you plan it is also important to take into consideration the time of year that the wedding will take place. For example if you have a spring wedding you might want to use white lilies. Or if you wedding will fall in the middle of winter then you might include some pieces other then just flowers into the centerpiece. This might include things like pine branches and pinecones.
Size
It is equally important to take into consideration the size of the wedding and the wedding reception. If you are planning on having a very small wedding you will want to pick smaller more intimate flower arrangements. If the wedding is going to have hundreds of guests and be a major event then the tables where your guests are seated will be much larger and thus demand a much bigger arrangement. You do not want an arrangement that dominates that table and blocks the view of your guests but it needs to be big enough that it does not get lost in the size of the table. So take into consideration the size of the table and the number of guests at each table.
Colors

For example you can choose flowers that will match well with the color in the bridesmaid’s dresses.
Symbols and messages
It is also important when choosing flowers for a floral wedding centerpiece to plan and think about the meaning or symbolism of flowers.

It is therefore important to think about the typical and historical meaning of certain flowers and pick an arrangement that is complimentary to the theme of the wedding. Some wedding are more traditional and classic nature and therefore will demand a flower such as a rose. Then other weddings might be non-traditional and very artistic of light hearted and in these cases it is important to choose light, fun and artistic flowers to match the tone.
