centerpieces

sunshine3714

I think I figured out an idea for centerpieces. FI is a HUGE sports fan. So I was thinking each table could be a different sports team. For example, a Red Sox table, TN Titans, Detroit Red Wings. Some of the tables will be like kitchen themed since I love to bake. I was thinking of using my kitchenaid stand mixer for once table and putting flowers in the mixing bowl. One table will be a Zaxbys theme since that is where we work and met. We will need at least 20 different tables, so I am still coming up with ideas. I figured this would be a good way to incorporate our personalities into the wedding. I am also hoping this way will save us money as well since we already have quite a bit of stuff to use and wont be purchasing flowers for every table.
What do you ladies think?? Any opinions or advise?

I love the idea of tables that reflect you and your FI! And being able to do it on a budget is an added bonus! I say go for it!

You could maybe do a table of the place you two met or the first vacation you two went on together?

Thanks! The Zaxbys table is where we met. It is the restaurant we both work out. Unfortunately we have never been on vacation together, but maybe by then we will get to go on one.

Cute idea! I would suggest finding a unifying theme to tie it all together... like going simple on flowers and just using one type or one color.

Other theme ideas...
-favorite band or song
-favorite hang out spot
-you already have a table for where you met, but maybe have one for first date, one for engagement location?
-tables representing your culture or heritage

So I LOVE the idea of each table representing various parts of your personality, but I also thing that you should have something that carries the tables together...something neutral.
 
For instance, use a bud glass (or 2)  on each table to complement the centerpieces -- if you do this, utilize the flowers you are putting in the mixing bowl, so that it kind of carries over. I just think it might help everything "flow" together...
 
If you number the tables or name the tables I would also suggest that you use the same template for each one...that would also help unify everything. If you think about it, these things you like are all unified by your personalities...so use something to unify it all
...hope this helps.
*if it came across critically, I didn't mean it to be...I do really LOVE the idea of personailized centerpieces!

I have to agree with PP. I love the idea of the tables representing who you guys are and I do recommend finding something to tie them all together.

I think it's a great idea.
