Center Pieces

Start with what you are allowed & what you like. For instance my daughter is not allowed real candles so I think we will be skipping all candles, even battery operated. Second, she doesn’t like super tall vases as they are hard to see people across the table. Third, she wants florals mixed with her wedding color of dusty rose & white. We did have the florist do a mock up with 2 different vases. She didn’t like either of them, so we need another meeting with the florist. Pinterest is a great place to start collecting photos. Save them in a folder on your phone & it will help in pricing with the florist. Also, a good way to add visual interest without spending a lot of money is to use different types of greenery!

I am doing a beauty and the beast theme - so I got roses of different colors in glass domes that I am stacking on used hardcover books for a library feel. They are those galaxy roses that light up - we will the tables be the color of the rose - i.e. - purple table, white table etc.

here is what they look like

Pinterest is a great resource for just finding inspo. that's kind of what i did haha i changed my mind so many times with what i wanted because i would look around and think hey thats cute hey that's cute. so if you find yourself in a situation where you might like a lot of different ones, maybe think about what parts of those you like and if they might look good altogether.

another thing is thinking about how much it can cost and swapping for more economical parts. e.g. originally i wanted fishbowls but they were pricier so i went with mason jars.

OMG I love this!!! Beauty and the Beast is my favorite movie of all time. We had a movie-themed wedding, and one table was BatB.

First, check with your venue to see if they'll provide centerpieces and what is allowed. Our venue provided roses and tealight candles for each table, but they let us add our little touches. We had a movie-themed wedding, and my mother-in-law made absolutely GORGEOUS centerpieces! They included a clapboard, a container of popcorn, a film reel, and a little plastic Oscar statue. Each table was then a different one of our favorite movies, so we added figurines, artwork, and such that went with each movie.

I picked the colors and feel I wanted for the wedding and then went on pinterest and started looking and found centerpieces I loved.

As some of the above advised, I would say look on Pinterest. That’s where I get a lot of my inspiration. I don’t want to do floral centerpieces so I am thinking of either elegant led candle centerpieces (with really elegant holders) or some sort of lighting and our table cards. Just to keep it simple and classy

I knew from the start I wanted lanterns … I literally looked at so many and I wasn’t impressed… Then I came across a lady on market place selling these beauties!! They were in perfect condition and I only paid 100 for 14 🤗 Then I made the table number signs myself with acrylic rounds, vinyl and paint! Our florist is going to put babies breath and eucalyptus around it
