Thinking no centerpieces?

I think you could do something very simple!

I don't think you'd like what your guests would assume if you had no centerpieces. Any special event with tables, place settings, and a meal has a centerpiece.

You have lots of options. They don't have to be elaborate, or even floral, but they should be present.

I'm with the majority - I think having something is important, but it doesn't have to be anything expensive.

It's your wedding, you should do whatever you want. But why are you looking to skip the centerpieces? Cost? Can't decide what to have? Want one less thing to worry about? A little decoration on the table is nice. I made out centerpieces for about $7 each. I just have a short, wide 6" hurricane vase (I got 12 on Amazon for $24), a small pilar candle inside, and some silk fall leaves around the outside. Simple, elegant, and best of all CHEAP!

I think this totally depends on what your tables/venue space look like. The IDEA of no centerpieces doesn't seem that weird to me, but how it will LOOK with the rest of your venue may look weird.

I don't know if that made sense or not?

I think you could save a big chunk of change with this idea. I had no centerpieces at my wedding, and no one mentioned it to me, and for the life of me I can't remember what anyone else's looked like (if they even had them). I say skip them.

I agree with the previous posters...it mostly depends on your whole look. I'm on a tight budget as well and trying to save...My mother suggested that we have pictures of us as a couple and growing up placed around the room, so I'm thinking just using those as centerpieces with possibly a card next to it with the story around the photo. You can also buy fake "ice" (looks beautiful in evening weddings especially) or rose petals or small candies to scatter around the photo for a fuller look.

I want to skip centerpieces. I can't for the life of me remember anyone's centerpiece. I'd rather spend the money on something else great for the guests.

It’s not odd at all. As someone who is planning her third wedding, I can tell you that most of the crap we all fret about doesn’t matter. The only things I’m spending money on this time are my dress and our photographer. Most venues are beautiful enough with nothing added. Think back to every wedding you’ve ever attended… Do you remember what their color scheme was? Do you remember what the centerpieces were? Do you even remember whether or not they had a sash tied around the chair? I sincerely doubt it. People are only going to remember how much fun they had. They will not remember much more than that… The wedding industry wants you to think that all of these little things are important, but they are not. They are a waste of time and money for a night that will go by so quickly you’ll wonder why you spent an entire year planning it.

I've been to weddings without centerpieces and no one noticed or cared. If you don't want them, it is ok to skip them.
