Non Floral Centerpieces

waterous.m · April 2010

We are hoping to do a tall hurricane glass filled with all different white starfish as our centerpiece surrounded by small tea light. Where would you suggest I find someone to put these together? Would I need to get my florist to do this even though its not floral, or hire a wedding coordinator to put them together? I was also thinking about maybe tall sea grass surrounded by starfish and tea lights, would you think that if I used this option that a florst could arrange it? Please let me know I am at a loss of how to get this done. Thanks!

Yeah, I agree, if you have the time, energy, and/or help, DIY is the way to go. It looks like you have plenty of time, at least with your date being next year. If I were you, I would use that time to find deals on the items to put it together (i.e., keep an eye on sales and coupons for Hobby Lobby, Michael's, or whatever stores you have nearby that have the items you'll be using). I agree with Lisa, take someone up on their offer to help, though try to have it be someone who likes that kind of thing.

Thanks for the advice. The only issue is that with it being a destination wedding I don't want to have to deal with shipping everything down to KW and the assemble it once I am there. We are having about 8-10 tables which I think would be a lot. Does anyone having a KW wedding doing non floral centerpieces and hiring someone to take care of it for you?

For my wedding in KW we brought the supplies and the coordinator at the restaurant set it up for me. I did a trial run at home, took pictures, drew a diagram, and dropped everything off the day before the wedding. When we showed up everything looked beautiful.

Also, my centerpieces were non-floral. I had Moroccan lanterns and different colored votive holders, with blue and green sea stones and silk orchids scattered around. It was all very easy to transport and set up.

HTH!

For our wedding in the upper Keys, my florist allowed us to "rent" our hurricane lamp centerpieces and other decor. It was so easy - everything was delivered and set up the afternoon before the wedding and it was picked up the next day. There was no way we could have travelled with all those supplies, and I think our florist was even cheaper than DIY. Here is a pic of one of our tables:

If you already have a florist, I would definitely recommend asking about this option. Our florist had every type of non-floral decor we asked about (starfish, hurricane lamps, candles, votives, potted plants etc).
