Help me finalize my centerpiece choice (lots of pics!!)
#1) Example Westbury Manor Oval Tables - the chairs will be covered in ivory linens.#2)Example of the Tree/Light CP look in a room
#3) Another example of WM tables (babybride's wedding)
#4) The candleabrum centerpiece - alone.
Adding more........fine question at end.
ETA: The chairs will be ivory and covered. The room has a lot of dark accents in it - dark wood and reds (which is fine - my bridal party is cranberry/reddish)Please scroll all the way through

Re: Help me finalize my centerpiece choice (lots of pics!!)
While I love high CPs, I think that to get them really full enough for a 14 person oval table it would cost well over $200 per CP and that is a lot of $$. Instead, I would opt for a table cloth covered with a small table runner in a rich fabric going lenghtwise over the longest part of the table, and center 3 clear low glass square or oblong CPs with grasses and flowers and mayby some of those stones that are found in Japanese stroll gardens. But then, I am not sure what your theme is and how well that would go togther. What are your colors? Also, what are the colors of the reception room? Are the chair backs fabric or wood? Do you know what the place settings look like yet?

#1-#4) Different pics of the Tree/Light Centerpiece.Recently, while analyzing the table size I realized this CP probably was made for a round table. It may crowd the placesettings in the middle.
I spoke with my florist and she said that we could put the vases surrounding the center one on the side of it --- in a row with the other votives between. I just wasn't sure if that would give it the same look.
This centerpiece can be made slightly taller or extended wider to fill up the sides of the table.
I'm just worried about the center.

Re: Help me finalize my centerpiece choice (lots of pics!!)
This last picture would the picture I originally grabbed off the internet and fell in love with.I pursued my hunt for a florist with this picture in mind.
So - with all of these pictures in mind, keeping in mind that I love this Branch CP - ultimately, which one do you think would be better?
Actually, my florist said that if I go with the candleabrum, she could make it very 'fallish' by adding the branches actually in the top - where all the flowers are. This CP has the three arms where I can put a candle which will satisfy that.
I'm just not too sure what I'm gonna go for.
You're input would help lots.
Thanks

while i love branches - I used them in my ceremony decorations, I think that when they are on tables it is very difficult to have conversations to people across the table...but that is just me. I like the CP in the second post you made - the second one from the bottom the most. I like its colors, size and fullness I would do 2 of those per table if possible and spread some of the branches on the table lying down.

That centerpiece is low - I really don't want a low centerpiece - I like high ones!!! :)
That pics is just to show color of flowers, not the CP itself. :)

Re: Help me finalize my centerpiece choice (lots of pics!!)
lol, I love high ones too, now that I know what you are looking for and want to achieve, I still love the flowers in the arrangement above, and if your florist could intersperse the vines, candles and flowers, I like that the most. My florist actually had premade vine CP holders but they were 250 without the flowers per CP because they reconstruct the vine and moss every time they make them, so I only used the corresponding aisle runner ones - they did not cost as much and went with glass and orchids in the talbe CPs them b/c of the cost.....

I like the branch one with vases down the side. It will look gorgeous and it is different.

Re: Help me finalize my centerpiece choice (lots of pics!!)
Love all of your pictures!!! Here's my honest opinions:This is gorgeous!!! But...if the branches came up higher it would be better. I feel like it might take a lot of room on the table and make it difficult for guests they way it is in the pic...but I also must say I love the flowers on the bottom!!
This is such a dramatic look and it is very beautiful but I wonder if it would work on oval tables as well as it does on round. If this was higher it might really be better.
This piece would look very pretty with all of your fall flowers and if you can get the sticks in it for the effect it might be the best choice in terms of $$.

Re: Help me finalize my centerpiece choice (lots of pics!!)
i loooooooove high CPs, but since the ceilings are pretty low in the Manor room, i feel like the high CPs make take away from the height even more (that was why i didnt do the high ones for ours)
