Non Floral Centerpiece Ideas????

I found a few ideas. I hope you find something you like.
If you love books, this could be really cute

Lanterns or bird cages could be nice, led lights would be safer than flames.

Easily done with succulents or filled with sand and shells

Could you have fake candles? Or lanterns? I'd ask the riverboat what people normally use for centerpieces.

I can use fake candles and lanterns. Just looking for some inspiration! I can use whatever I want really.

A riverboat reception sounds neat, do you have pictures of it? To answer your question you could do short lanterns or even short floral arrangements. Do you have a theme or color pallet yet?

These are the invitations we ordered. I would say if we had a theme it would be spring with bright colors. I just dont want to spend thousands of flower arrangements I guess if I keep it simple it would be doable budget wise.

Here is the boat set up on the outside. There is an inside with the same tables used along with the buffet/bar and cake area

More upper deck pics

Here a pic of the boat.

Set up from another wedding.

View Quoted Comment I love the colors on the invite, and the boat. I understand not wanting to spend a fortune on floral arrangements, if you wanted floral you could look into sola wood flowers and resell them afterwards. I think lanterns would be my choice though.

You could do edible centerpieces. It's something I was sort of toying with a little bit ago. Like a stack of macrons or donuts in the middle of the table. Or there were some examples on pintrest that were Charcuterie platters.

Honestly... I would skip the centerpieces and just have table numbers. Let the scenery do the work for you!

I agree. The boat is gorgeous, so keeping it minimal is fine!

Thanks everyone! I am not even sure how I am going to do a seating chart with a set up like this.... Its going to be small with about 50 of us. Not sure if that is necessary or not to assign tables?
