Centerpiece Ideas

Just wondering if anyone had any centerpiece ideas they wanted to share! I am using tall candelabras with flowers on about 10-12 of the tables.  There will be around 30 tables total and need something to fill the other tables.  I love vintage touches, but don't want an overly vintage wedding.  Plan on using a lot of lace and beads/pearls where ever I can use them.  Any design/decorating ideas would be helpful..i'm thinking of staying 1940s and under type style mixed with a little bit of modern!

Thanks :)

    I'm using lacey carved pumpkins, mason jars covered with lace as luminaries, vintage books tied with ribbon, and the bridesmaids bouquets in some jars.  These are all going to be scattered around banquet tables as my centrepieces. 

    I also have some inspiration photos in my bio, if you're interested!

    I've seen online weddings where they used stacks of books with small vases of flowers. Maybe you could do something like that? Stylemepretty.com has lots of inspiration!

    My centerpiece...



    These are costing under 10 bucks a table by using a lot of things from my local dollar tree.. vase, gems, flower petals strung on fishing wire. Branches from backyard and then a string of gems/crystals from shopwildthings.com. Im getting a beaded curtain and then using one string per table centerpece instead of paying for a by the foot amount..

    Alyssa- My centerpieces are going to be similar to yours and its so funny because I also am ordering the beaded curtain from shopwildthings.com and using the strands for each centerpiece.

    Our venue (historic inn) provides hurricanes and candles and we're going with that for our centerpieces.

    The following photo shows a small vase -- the fan-shaped one -- I absolutely adore (Doesn't it just scream "vintage" at ya??), so I may try to find a couple of these to put on the bar, sweetheart table (if we decide to have one) or cake table or something ...
