On the table, a centrepiece is a central object which serves a decorative purpose. However, centrepieces are often not too large, to avoid difficulty with visibility around the table and to allow for the easier serving of dishes. Other centrepieces are often made from flowers, candles, fruit, or candy.

Centrepieces are a major part of the decoration for a wedding reception, being used widely at wedding receptions with flowers being the most popular form of centrepieces. Weddings, baby showers, engagement parties, anniversary parties and birthdays often have some form of centrepiece.

Formal functions in Europe can sometimes have very elaborate centrepieces, which can span the entire length of the table.

At holiday times, including Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, homes are often decorated with holiday centrepieces.
