Centerpiece Ideas?

vegasbaby2015

I am looking for some help with centerpiece ideas! I wanted to just do flowers, but we are restricted to one vendor and the quote was too high and the contact was difficult to work with... so I'm looking for something non-floral that I can take to Vegas without too much trouble. I am planning on about 7 tables, so I don't need many, and I'm not opposed to DIY. I'm thinking about something like a lantern or candle in hurricane, with paper flowers around it?

I'm really stumped on this, and kind of obsessing about it... does anyone have a centerpiece they want to share?  I've been all over The Pinterest, but I thought my Vegas knottie friends may have ideas on something transportable and not too much work to set up/take down!

THANKS!

I absolutely adore the idea of three picture frames glued together with a flameless candle in the middle. Since we're doing a renewal, I plan to use pictures from our wedding, anniversaries and other special events throughout our marriage.

I'm actually now considering just skipping centerpieces. Would that be too weird?

No, it's not weird. It's one of those things that we put more thought into than anyone attending. The food on the tables matters way more. lol

Thanks for the support I definitely feel silly for obsessing over it, and then just deciding to nix it! I think it will really simplify things for me though

It's the fun of wedding planning.   I think it will definitely simplify things for you.

(I was going actually coming back to this post to mention that I think I am going to ship the picture frames and candles to myself in Vegas instead of traveling with them. I am already shipping cookie favors that I plan to make ahead of time as well. So, not that simple of a plan but it will at least make traveling easier.)
