Centerpiece Mock Up (lots) PIPs

junebug19 · February 2012

Hi girls, I hope you all had a nice weekend! I was thinking about my centerpieces and decided to make one up, actually about 4 versions, and I was hoping to get some opinions please. Now, My venue is very rustic (there is a pic below) and food is going to be served family style, so I didn't want anything large, fancy or too elaborate b/c the caterer and florist will be setting up everything in 2 hours (while we are at the church). The examples below may need some imagination, the carafes i'm using as vases will be taller (that is 1/2 L., I'll be getting 1 L.), The flowers will be Gerber Daisies, Dahlias, Spider Mums in all different colors. If I choose to use the bow it will be a different material (that is all I had in that color) and excuse the "tablecloth" I don't have a white one, but there will be white linens, probably with purple runners. And, do the cork placecard holders work with the table? TIA

And please be VERY honest, my feelings won't be hurt.

A. Carafe W/ Bow & Candles

B. Carafe w/ Bow

C. Carafe w/ Candles

D. Flowers alone, no bow or candles

This is the hall, stone fireplaces on either end, round tables staggered between the columns.

It looks really nice! I like the color combo of purple and green! I like A the best. I'd try wrapping it with ribbon (the same as you have, just without the bow) to see how that looks as well.

I like the idea of having the ribbon without the bow as well. I love candles so U would keep those. Spider mums are my favorite. I plan on using them too.

I actually really love the bow and candles. I think it'll work very well with the setup that you'll have.

I love it with the bow and the candles, I think it just kinda completes the look....

Thank You guys, good thing the first is your favorite- I already bought 150 of those votives (love TK classifieds)! lol
I liked the idea of trying the ribbon w/out the bow, so I tried it- this was the best I could do- I think it will look better on the taller carafe.

I like this a lot! And definitely with the candles.

Ditto PP's - I like it with the ribbon & candles. I also like just the ribbon better than the bow

The knot monster ate my post again. Take 3: I love the flowers you plan on using! They'll look beautiful. I like A & C the best. The only things that I would personally change was the size of the bow or the width of the ribbon. If you're going rustic a purple twine would look really pretty. If you stick with ribbon I would make the bow a tiny bit smaller. The last thing is I LOVE candles and almost feel like 5 candles would help the centerpiece pop. It might be my OCD but I think groupings of 5 looks more finished than 3. I love what you have so far.

There are 4 there right now, (obviously you can't see the one hidden behind the flowers) but I will try a 5th, I love candles too, I just wasn't sure if it was too much for that setting.
Thank You all for your suggestions, I'm so happy you like it! You have kind of put me at ease I guess. This was the first thing I came up with and then people started sending and talking about all these other options, but, while I absolutely LOVE submerged flowers and orchids (and even looked into them), I just don't think they fit my particular rustic setting.
