What's your centerpiece preference??

Tall or short??

I looove tall centerpieces! I really love the tree/ branch look with flowers and blossoms, with hanging candles. I saw it on a wedding show and I fell in love! However, I am aware that short centerpieces are more guest-considerate and allow for unobstructed table conversation. So it's a tough choice. Because tall ones are just soo prettyyyy!! lol

You can have tall ones, just make sure the vase is tall enough so that the flowers will be above head/ eye level when our guests are sitting down. Plus have your vase be clear so that it doesn't obstruct the guests view as well.

I'm thinking of doing a mix--half of the tables with tall centerpieces and half with short ones. With the tall ones though, I like what PP said about it being tall enough to not obstruct the views

I like REALLY tall ones. I am going to have Deaf people at my wedding and there needs to be a way to see each other so if the vases are clear and skinny but super tall it'll work for them

I also thought about half and half, but we'll only have about 80 guests... making about 10 tables. I feel like that looks better in a large venue with lots of tables. Not so much in a smaller space and less tables. Or maybe not?

We're going to have half with flowers and half with floating candles (cost/I like both). I love the idea of eiffel tower vases, but I'm starting to think maybe shorter is the way to go.

We're having both tall and short! Every other table will have a tall and the others will have short. and yes, I agree that tall centerpieces are very pretty!!! and since I can't decide between one or the other we're using both.

I decided to do short but with floating candles around the centerpiece on every table. I love the look of the tall vases but when I actually saw it at a wedding with all the tables together it just looked confusing lol........maybe it was just me but I am going with short and sweet floating candles and rose petals scattered on the table looks really nice together.
