Hawaii

Centerpieces- PIP

I had my centerpieces narrowed down to 2 (very different ideas) but then I came across this....what do you think?? Kind of fun? Or too weird for a wedding? I would do orange halves instead of limes, since my colors are fuschia and orange.My bridal bouquet is all white peonies, and my bridesmaids are going to carry fuschia roses and orange mokara orchids OR all fuschia peonies. I am struggling with bright tropical flowers vs. romantic peonies. I want to use both, but that would totally clash.Here are my other two centerpiece ideas. This arrangement would match the BM bouquets if I went the tropical route: Or the cheap route! Pineapples, votives and fuschia flower petals:

    My preference is the second one...i think it fits best with Olowalu.  To save money you may be able to do parasols inside of BM bouquets, or have the bouquets do double duty and act as centerpieces as well...just a thought. J. :-)

    I think orange slices in the vase would look amazing!

    I like both the 1st and 2nd centerpieces. The 1st one gives a softer look while the 2nd is much more colorful. Both are beautiful.

    I just read your other post -- if doing the first one is too costly (maybe it won't be though) you should go the pineapple route. Another option could be to fill square vases with slices of oranges or just whole oranges. I think the fruit filled vases also look really bright and pretty!

    I really like the first option!! My FI's brother got married last weekend and they did almost the exact same thing as the first one, and it looked sooooo pretty!!!

    both are really nice.  personally, i would choose the first one, but that's because i've never been a very "colorful" person (i love white flowers).  go with whatever fits your personality best.  i also love the pineapple centerpieces -- it's tropical, delicious, and economical (after meeting with a florist and hearing centerpieces started at $75 each, i was floored!)

    I think the first idea but with orange slices would look really nice and it's a very creative/original idea too so I vote for that!

    I still love the Pineapples and the colorful one. The reason being is that hawaii is so tropical that I would want it to be as tropical as possible. Pineapples are so cute and they aren't appropriate for anywhere else! Why not save some money? I bet your guests would LOVE it because they've never seen it before.

    i just saw your other post regarding money issues.  i think the pineapples are a great idea if you need to watch your budget.  peonies are nice and romantic, but also very expensive!i agree with pp...pineapples are unique and i think it would be memorable for your guests.  i know i would love to take one home!

    I think using oranges would be so much fun! I love the flowers in pic #2 and oranges would add a fun POP to it. I am personally going with #3 for my own ceremony only due to budget. You and I have the same color scheme, both at Olowalu, and if my budget could handle more flowers I would totally go for something like #2. Very cute but elegant.
