still debating my centerpieces

leahstinson · April 2012

I'm am going to DIY my centerpieces and we'll only have roughly 6 tables not included the head table (that will be with our bouquets and a lot of candlelight)

For 3 tables I am thinking floral similiar to this:

Mix of a couple different florals in a clear glass vase with lots of candlelight around.

Other 3 tables:

this candleabra (def. need white candles not ivory) with again, tons of candle light and maybe a couple very small vases of 1 or 2 blooms like a peony.

-linens are white, gold chairs and gold chargers.

does this look good? or are the candlebras too fancy for outside??

I like it! If your wedding is semi-formal, I don't think the candelabras will look out of place.

I think both would look beautiful!

I looove the big blooms and candles - so romantic

one thing about the candelabras - make sure you can see through them (ie: the bulk of the centrepiece isn't at eye level).. it makes convo difficult and guests have been known to just take down the centrepiece!

otherwise, sooo pretty

Wow- your venue must be pretty mellow to allow all those candles- that's awesome.

Looks great.

I think everything looks great - just be careful about having too much white, you don't want it to look sterile (lines and candelabra being white). Clean and crisp, yes - sterile, no. lol

then again, the gold chargers should break that up
