I found this display on Target. A black and white polka dot ribbon tied around the case is all it would take to turn this vase into a perfect centerpiece. You could also place small votive holders with black and white votives around it for a romantic candle lite dinner.

These are lovely, and are $29.99 each. You can find them on the target website.

If they are a little expensive for your tastes, you may be able to get the look for less. Glass vases can be rented from your wedding rental provider for a few dollars. Silk pink florals can be purchased at the craft store along with some polka dot ribbon. If you are not a fan of ribbons – black and white stones in the vase would also make a beautiful touch.

Version 1:

This Tin Bucket project we shared earlier would also work as a polka dot wedding centerpiece.

For The Bucket:

- Use polka dot paper for the stripes on the top and bottom of the bucket.

- Use a pink ribbon instead of a checked ribbon.

- The tag would be made using a black background, polka dot top and pink bottom.

- Use pink for the flowers to finish the can.

(Complete instructions)

Options To Fill The Bucket:

- Fill with sand to hold white pillar candles. Place a thin layer of white and black stones to hide the sand.

- Fill with white flowers. Glue Black stones or beads onto picks to inset into the flowers for a “polka dot” look.

Version 2:

You could rent silver vases similar to this one. Fill each vase with white roses. Use the black stones or beads on picks, mentioned above – to add “polka dots”. Finish each arrangement with a pink ribbon around the vase or pink rose petals sprinkled around the bottom of the vase.

Yesterday, I got a message from a bride asking for centerpiece ideas for a black and white polka dot wedding with pink accents. So, over the next few days I will put together some ideas and share them on here as I come across them.

Here is my first idea:

1. Rent glass containers from your rental provider.

2. Line the bottom of each container with black and white round glass decor pebbles. Another option is the decorative gravel you can buy for fish tanks. Or, check ebay or a local craft store for large black and white beads.

3. Place a pink flower into the pebbles and fill with water.

4. For the candles, you could do white, one white and one black – or if you wish: take some time and use some black wax from the craft store to drip “polka dots” right onto the candles.

5. Sprinkle roses petals around each table. You could do white, black(check out ebay for black petals), pink or some combination (white & black, white & pink, all three, etc)

I think that white petals with white candles, black & white pebbles and a pink flower would be a very elegant choice:) If you can’t find black and white pebbles – then use clear peddles, with polka dot candles, and white and black rose petals.
