Vintage tables ideas??

My vision was to have 45 rows of long farm tables put together for my romantic/rustic theme. Unfortunately here in Montana no one rents them. I did find a place that has mismatched long vintage dinner tables. My question is about layout and centerpieces. What type of floor plan should I do now? And I was going to have only 45 very large and expensive centerpieces, I can't do any more than that. Do I only put the large CP on a couple?

  • Not 45!!! 4 to 5

  • You could use Mason jars with Baby Breath in them tied with raffia.  You could use any size even jelly jars.  Flowers in some and in others place a floating candle... maybe marbles in the bottom.  You could add in sliced fruit inside the jars as well.  Depends on your colors and time of year for wedding.  Candles and single flowers in vases are very reasonable. Just a few ideas i came up with quick hope this helps.  You could purchase small clay pots and place a candle in them as well.

    Let the Lord Lead... and follow Him.

    Thanks :) I can use any tips or advice since I'm kind of lost now. I wonder if I could have two big centerpieces on the wedding party table and use the vases with single flowers on the tables? I have always liked that idea :)

  •   Just some ideas: Use your unity arrangement for your head table ( of course if you are having one/ sand what ever) in the middle and use the mason jars to hold the girls bouquets.
    Adds color and its reasonable.  We use the untiy arrangement at the church then bring it to the reception for the center of the head table. 

      Hope these help.

      Yes you could use two large centerpieces for the head table and smaller versions on the other ones.  Just be sure they are low centerpieces so bridal party and guests can see over them. 

    Good Luck
