There is a pragmatic reason for this. As a matter of fact, beautiful centerpieces follow specific structural rules to make them look harmonious. Centerpieces should include:

Secondary accessories: Items that enhances the look of the main ornament while being smaller. They usually surround the main ornament. It can be votives, small flowers vases, crystals, greenery garlands, wood slabs supporting the main ornament, etc.

General wedding table accessories: Practical decor elements that support the overall theme.

For example table runners, place cards, guest favors, table number, glassware, and more can all be chosen according to the wedding theme.
