Centerpieces

Ki, on April 25, 2016 at 11:07 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 20

Ok, so I need thoughts. I'm getting married at a modern art gallery and we wanted to incorporate some "artistic" elements into our "modern glam" wedding. I liked the idea of using lanterns and found these lanterns and terrariums that I like. We would be using flowers on some tables and these with candles and some flowers on others. Do you think this could work and fit with the theme?

    Absolutely! BHDLN has some nice terrariums with sleek lines, that would look great for a Modern Glam look. I find them to be a bit pricey but, you might find something similar somewhere else.

    *I just saw the pics you posted. Those are exactly the ones I was talking about. There was a weddingwire bride that was selling hers a while back.

    Those would fit your theme perfectly! Especially the first ones. I think putting candles in them would be more modern, especially if you have flowers on your table already. If you did the succulents it would have more of a garden feel.

    Check out Joann fabric as I actually bought something like the very last picture and I used 50% off coupon!

    I love the idea! I do think those are expensive though, especially if you have multiple per table. As long as it fits your budget then go for it!

    Terrariums are gorgeous! I am also hoping to use the tear-drop terrarium and another geometric-shaped piece as my centerpieces along with a geometric candle holder I've already purchased. The candle holder looks pink in the picture below but it's actually copper.

    The tables at my venue are round so I was going to place one of each piece in the middle. The terrarium would have candles and the third geometric piece would have the tiniest little floral arrangement, like in the picture below (found on Pinterest).

    I was contemplating ordering terrariums from alibaba or aliexpress but I've never ordered from either website before so I'm a little hesitant. They're just so much cheaper than anywhere else I've seen, especially since I'll need about 18.

    Either way, you should definitely search for 'geometric terrarium centerpieces' or some play on that on Pinterest and you'll find a ton of inspiring ideas!

    @AshleyMTL I saw them on aliexpress too. I have friends who have ordered from aliexpress and they've told me to just be mindful of the reviews. Check out the vendors and see how many orders they have filled. If they've only done 1 or 2 orders, I would probably stay away from them.

    Those are gorgeous! I'm on a rose gold kick lately, so I like the colors of both Smiley smile

    Oh I love the lanterns and terrariums and think they will go well with your venue and theme!

    @AshleyMTL and OP Be careful with ordering from sites like AliExpress. Make sure to read reviews and don't get sucked in by the prices. It's in China and the quality is not always that great plus shipping usually takes a while. Their products are cheap for a reason and can be hit or miss. Some of their pictures are from other websites and not of the actual product you'll end up getting.

    @Bacon Curly Gurl that's exactly what I was scared of. If anything, I will just use the candle holders I already purchased and put votive candles or flowers around it. I don't even know if I'll be over-crowding the table with 3 pieces in the middle! I actually only paid $6 for each of those copper candle holders and my DOC wants to buy them from me after the wedding so no big expense there! The candle will probably cost just as much!!

    @Ki if you can find reasonably-priced terrariums, I think they will fit beautifully in your venue, especially if you switch up your table centerpieces so that some tables have flowers and others have terrariums. It will help keep costs down! And let me know if you do! Although half the time people don't ship to Canada so you might have better luck than me Smiley smile

    @AshleyMTL I actually did find them on JoAnn's website so I'm going to go to the store tonight and check them out. JoAnn's ALWAYS has coupons so I'm taking @LCya's advice and waiting for 50% off to grab them Smiley smile
