Ok ladies, our reception centerpieces are themed, not color coordinated. Our theme is the Nicholas Sparks movies, specifically-

The notebook

A walk to remember

The choice

Message in a bottle

The best of me

The lucky one

Safe Haven

Each table will be a different movie, so I need centerpiece decor ideas!! Each table will have votive candles, and 3 quotes from the movie/book that we pick out that is that specific table. So safe haven will be one table, the notebook will be another,etc etc. Nicholas sparks movies is one thing we LOVE together, and the notebook is kinda our story. (Met as teens, had a crazy summer of being in love and best friends and then we lost touch for 8 years, and here we are again!) So we definitely wanted to incorporate that into our wedding. So give me some ideas!!! Smiley smile

    What about just naming the tables after some of the books/movies? That way you still get your theme in there but it doesn't look random between tables. With themes less is more!

    ETA: For example do romantic/soft floral center pieces that are consistent on all the tables but instead of table numbers they have the titles.

    Honestly, even if you add the title of the movie to each table, I would still be confused.

    I don't know if a lot of people would make the connection. So it would just look like random objects on each table.

    ETA: I think ShelbyErin's idea makes more sense.

    Why dont you just pick one movie? I agree its confusing. Honestly i had no idea who this was until other people commented. I would just see a bunch of mismatched centerpieces.

    So basically decorate my wedding so that my guests love it, not so much that I love it or that it means anything to the bride and groom?

    Maybe a consistent center piece that has to do with movies and love. One that's not so literal and a representation of each movie.

    What if the centerpieces were all the same, but each table had different quotes we loved from the movies?

    @Allison, I think that's a great way to incorporate your theme without it being too overbearing.

    Naw, we're having hookers and blow at our wedding. We were both born in the 70s and that's what we're celebrating.

    Sure, it can be meaningful to you and you can love it all you want, but it won't stop people from whispering "dafuq?" to each other.

    I think that maybe just having the quotes on the tables would be less confusing.

    Same centerpieces with only quotes is definitely a safer (and easier) alternative! If you really want to make them unique, you could add a small charm or ornament that differentiates each table without it taking the whole centerpiece
