Non-floral centerpieces

Any suggestions? I refuse to have floral centerpieces...I like the way they look, but can't bring myself to spend all that money for something to die in a day or two.  I had a vision for centerpieces, and I haven't done a mock up yet, but I am pretty sure I won't like them.  They look really cool and modern in my head, but not sure how they will end up looking in reality.... Any suggestions are VERY MUCH appreciated! BTW....color scheme is black, turquoise and coral.  No real "theme" but I want something bright and fun

    I thought about that, but I can't have open flames! My reception is at the Danversport Yacht Club.  My friend did something similar ot that for her wedding-wrought iron, but put roses in the holders instead of flowers.  It was really pretty, BUT....I don't want to do the same thing

    What about those flamless candles that are battery operated?
    Or what if you filled a vase w/ black, turquoise & coral stones?

    Or something like this in a big bowl?  I saw this at Pier One

    I'm looking at the pier one website right now.  They have a lot of cool things you might be able to use.

    How about a tall  vase with a floralyte (turquoise colored) and water with a lampshade on top.
    I love this look and think it is very modern.

    Attached a pic for some inspiration

    We used white candle lanterns as our centerpieces.

    I just googled Lamp shade centerpieces.
    I think I am going to do a miniature version of that for our cocktail tables!

    If you're still looking - I did all non-floral centerpieces (cylinder & wreath centerpieces, pomander centerpieces), and they are all for sale (link in siggy) - everything is black & white - it would be REALLY easy to incorporate blue in there! (Blue water in the cylinder vases maybe?)

    I cant find a picture of the centerpieces that I love because my work computer doesn't show them all.  It is in Blue Centerpieces or Blue Color on this web site.  It is a large clear wide box that has 3 levels for texture that I really love.

    There was another one that was a box that had 3 boxes inside of it so the center was framed by 2 other layers and they filled it with 3 different textural substances.

    Then I was looking at Fete's website and they have the candle holders that make it look like there are 100 candles in a box and it is enclosed for the reason of no open flames.  It is really nice I like it a lot for the bar area or even on the table. 

    My descriptions are probably hard to follow but if you go through the galleries of the knot you'll see them.  Sorry i cant post a picture.
