Non-floral Center pieces!

I don't want to have floral centerpieces, any ideas?

What about using those cylinder vases and filling them with crystals, water and a floating candle?

Do you think that would be big enough for a table? I tried somethin similar on my dining room table and it just looked so small.

We used lanterns. What you have to keep in mind is that you don't need to "fill" the table--there will be tons of other stuff there, like table numbers, dishes and silverware, favors, placecards, napkins, dishes with butter and salad dressing, and so on.

I am using empty wine bottles and placing peacock feather put of the top. There will be tea lights around the base of the wine bottle.

candles are your freind, and if you have a wedding theme add an element from that pumpkins for a fall wedding, beach balls for a beach wedding etc...

What about tall pillar candles on different height candle holders.  I saw a great picture on knot.com under centerpieces.

This may still count as 'floral', but have you considered potted plants or herbs?

Also you could have a basket or some kind of container filled with your favors, depending on what they are.

We wanted the guests to be able to see each other and talk to each other without ducking around the centerpieces.  We went with a mirror on each table, three votive candles, and scattered flower petals which matched the bouquets.  They were beautiful and gave a romantic look to the room.
