Which CP do you prefer? w/poll Sorry it's Long!

Ok girls here's my dilemma - We decided to go w/John @ Flower Michele

Now we need to decide on a CP. FI & I like both but can't decide. FI doesn't want a high/topiary CP or tapers & I want something that wasn't too cookie cutter.

The hanging tea lights one is VERY different but a friend was afraid people will think the branches are weird & a little informal/scary/outdoorsy. (hopefully we'll be coming in from a garden ceremony) The second set up is nice but may not have that 'wow' effect of the first.

The BoK shows the green hydrangea & then we're doing the 2 pink roses & adding ivory.

#1 - (pic 2/3) vase w/ brown birchwood branches & hanging tea lights; surrounded by 6x3' vase of Pee Gee (light sage/ivory) hydrangea, medpink, pale pink & ivory roses ; black magic petals on table w/a few votives

#2 - (like pic 4) Alternating - square glass w/same flowers as above in a large arrangement (about 6 hyd, and 3 doz. roses) & 3 staggered pillar candles on both sides AND on the other table 6 pillars in the center w/ 2 smaller versions of the large CP on the ends ; again w/black magic petals

Any advice while I wrack my brains would be a huge help!

TIA

I have to agree - the hanging branches and tea lights are really stunning. It's that WOW factor.

I am doing pillar candles but if I could have afforded to, I would definitely have done the hanging tea lights on the branches. I love that look.

Picture # 3 is absolutely magnificent, elegant and unique. (Less unique now that I will be stealing the idea to take to my florist, but that is altogether another matter LOL)
