I met with my florist this past weekend for my destination beach wedding. I'm not going to be able to use a lot of flowers because it's just not in my budget, but what I have picked out are calli-lillies and roses. My colors are light yellow & grey

-- My bouqet is going to be yellow calli-lillies, light yellow roses, and cream roses. My MOH (my daughter) will have light yellow roses and a yellow calli-lilly in the center.

I will be having only 3 centerpieces with flowers at my wedding reception, one large and two a bit smaller. I have picked out a tall arrangement of pussy-willows, yellow snap dragons, and greenery for those centerpieces. I will also be adding the light yellow & cream roses into that to tie everything together. Will this look right? WHen I viewed them at my florist, it looked really good, but I just don't know how it will all come together...am I making any sense?? 

My problem is that I don't quite have a visual on what I want things to look like. I want everything to flow and not have a "hodgepodge" of stuff in every corner...I am kind of freaking out a bit. How can I tie all of this in together and use other centerpiece ideas without using all flowers?

I don't understand what you mean about not using all flowers. Do you mean you don't have enough centerpieces?
You make total sense with the flowers you are using and I think it sounds lovely.  You might be overthinking all of this. Also, you should get vases to put your bridal and bm bouquets in and use those on your tables for centerpieces/decoration as well.

It sounds beautiful to me.  Just stick to a common color scheme when decorating the other tables and let the tall centerpieces be your eye catchers!!  I know it's hard to see a final vision, but it will come together.  When you saw them at the florist, did you take a picture?  (that you could use to coordinate other parts of the wedding decor)??
