Centerpieces without candles?

Not sure if you clarified this with the venue, but some allow candles as long as they are in a glass vase and have the wick a specific measurement from the top of the glass. Its worth checking with the venue if they don't specify that its not allowed even in vases. Best of luck! I hope you can find LED candles that look realistic! If you can't find ones that are totally real looking, you could do them inside of a frosted glass lantern type thing so its more obscured and just a flickering light.

Or you could do something with battery powered string lights as the lighting.

So here are my candle free centerpieces .

I'm having an art nouveau themed wedding. I bought 9" cylinder vases from the dollar tree. Then I printed the images onto glossy sticker paper from my computer and stuck them on the glass. Inside the class is regular computer paper that I rolled and taped together so that the images on the outside would be more vibrant and the light would be diffused. For the lights I used these submersible LED tealights . I was originally doing a different thing that involved water which is why they are submersible. Although honestly I highly recommend them because they are brighter than the typical little LED battery ones you can get anywhere. The flower candle rings I had someone make for me on etsy but they are honestly just pieces of fake flower and leaf bushels hot glued to a tiny wreath base. Hope this helps!

I don't have a completed picture yet because I just ordered a bunch more stuff for it. But we ordered empty wine bottles on Amazon and fairy lights attached to "corks". I just ordered lace runners for the center and fairy lights for the vase as well. But anyway...it's lighting w/o being candles.
