My centerpiece!

in October 2013 Weddings
After trying many different centerpeices, this is what I have now:


The florist threw that "arragement" together in about 30 secs and recommended a wholesaler to get them through.  The other two jars will have candles in them.  

What do you think about having these around the reception location also?


ETA: the lanterns aren't nearly that red in real life.

ETA part 2:  Thanks Stina for the inspiration to post this on here!

    It looks awesome! Do you already have all of the pieces? (jars, wood slabs, etc.?)

    I am terrified of doing my own flowers. I have such respect for everyone that does! That's why I am thinking of only doing candles. :-)

    Thank you!!!  I already have all the pieces, but I was concerned that the lanterns would be too much with the centerpieces as they are.  But, the centerpieces have red flowers, so I think it will be ok. 

    I am not really worried about making the flower centerpieces.  The arrangement only has like 7 things in it total, so I can totally do it the Thursday before and just let them sit in the basement for a few days!

    That looks incredible.  It looks like it took a lot more than 30 seconds and that makes me and my anti-craft jealous!

    I like the lanterns.  I personally think side by side they are too much but spaced apart (like I think you said they would be if I read that right) they will compliment eachother well.  


    S'mores. Just S'mores please.

    I was almost thinking of having the lanterns on Shepherd's hooks outside, one on the bar, one near the gifts etc.  I think I may just want them to be accents around the room.  I think the centerpiece will be nice on its own on the tables. 

    I sort of agree with you that it is too much to have the lantern and the other piece close to each other.

    With the candles in the jars you won't really need the lantern anyway there will still be light brought into the centerpiece
