Phoenix, Arizona has some of the most beautiful and unique landscapes in the entire country. Afterall, people come from all over the world to see the Grand Canyon, right? If you’re having a wedding or event in Phoenix, you have to give homage to the natural beauty of the Arizona deserts. They’re truly some of the most stunning sights, ever. One of our favorite ways to do this is by using location-inspired centerpieces. From cacti to wild flowers to antlers (you read that right!) it’s time to get creative with your centerpieces; use these Phoenix-inspired ideas to start!
5 Amazing Phoenix-Inspired Centerpieces
Blooming Cactus
Cacti centerpieces are extremely popular; and for good reason, they’re beautiful (and they’re cheaper than traditional flower costs). Use the natural blooming cactus as your main focus point for your centerpiece. You’re guests will love the creative way you’re incorporating Cacti, one of the things Arizona is most known for. There are thousands of different ways to arrange the centerpiece, we love the dainty arrangements below.

Succulents
Ahh.. the succulent, one of the easiest plants to care for and one of the most beautiful! The succulent is native to the Arizona desert. In fact, the plant’s thick and fleshy leaves are designed to retain water in arid climates, making it a popular plant choice in Phoenix. The ease of care and handling make succulents a great pick for centerpieces. Plant alone or mix in with several variations to create a unique, one-of-a-kind look.

Branches with Berries
For a different spin on the traditional centerpiece, consider using branches with berries. These simple centerpieces add a splash of color to the table while not drawing too much attention. Branch and berry centerpieces work really great for rustic, natural, and bohemian-themed events and weddings. If you’re looking for a smaller centerpiece to encourage conversation, this is a great option. Check out the look below!

Wild Flowers and Plants
Another great idea for Phoenix-inspired centerpieces is to use wild flowers. Instead of spending thousands of dollars on flowers that aren’t native to Arizona, instead use flowers and plants that are naturally occurring in the desert. Wild flowers can be just as beautiful too! Select a variety of colors to create a colorful bouquet for each table. Check out the great options below.

Antlers
Last but definitely not least, we love the idea of using antlers in event centerpieces. The Arizona desert definitely has its fair share of wildlife, incorporating antlers in your event can be a great way to honor this feature. We love the combination of flowers with antlers below. There are also endless possibilities when it comes to ways to using antlers as focal points; add candles, foliage, burlap, beads, etc!
