So my wedding has gone from a buffet sit down meal to a cocktail and heavy appatizers reception. This will afford us more guests and for a lot less money. (we just had to replace the transmission in my car, $$$). So now its going to be simpler but I think just as elegant reception. I am not sure it calls for flower centerpieces anymore. I have to tell you all though that the reception is at a Victorian estate (here is the location)
http://www.danielwebsterestate.org/. It really doesn't need inside decorating, as it already is. I am looking for DIY centerpieces. We can't have real candles, which nixes my idea of floating candles, bummer - so I thought of the battery operated candles, we were already going to have small votive ones in frosted votive holders. The wedding is on 03.17.12 (yes that is St. Patrick's Day). I am having hunter green and ivory as my colors. The favor is a trinity love knot wine stopper and our invites had that trinity love knot on them but I am not looking to go cheesy with leprechauns and shamrocks.....as its a very elegant location I want an elegant (expensive looking but cheap costing) center piece.
Ideas would be appreciated ladies
