Candle Centerpieces

[kadevha]

After going around about table linens, we have decided to rent or buy the tablecloths. I still need to check on that very soon since the wedding is in 5 weeks! Yikes! So, now, I come to you guys for centerpiece suggestions. I really don't care for flowers. Sure, they are beautiful. However, they can be pricey and flowers don't really excite

I originally was thinking I wanted to do something that is vintage colored glass bowls with floating candles, but I realized the bowls i wanted are entirely too much money. My current plan is something like this:

Obviously, you can leave off the little blossoms.

I am not a huge fan of flowers either & am doing all bare branches, cranberries & candles for my centerpieces. Here are my actual inspiration pics I took to my florist:

Here are some additional candle related pics I have saved up on my computer:

Our wedding is two days after Thanksgiving & our florist gets them from the local farmer's market, which is run by his sister, who is also co-owner of their floral boutique! haha But thanks for the heads up : )

This won't help you at all, but here's an example of our centrepieces:

Lol, this demands an explanation! I love the puppet theater, I've never seen that set before!

Haha, the puppet theatre was actually one of our favours. We had a toy-themed wedding!

I had large, tall, clear vases from the dollar tree, with pinecones that I spraypainted gold and red berries inside. Then bought gold curly branches from the dollar tree and stuck those in there, as well.
White votive candles around each centerpiece.
For the head table I bought gold and red glittery pillar candles and put them in clear vases along the length of the table. Also alternated in some clear vases with water, and wen we got to the reception, my bridesmaids and I could put our bouquets in there and not worry about smashing them or carting them around all night.

I'll try to find a photo later!

If it asks, password is cathedral.
