centerpieces??

Is anyone NOT using floral centerpieces...if so, what ARE you using.

Does anyone have any pictures of NON FLORAL centerpieces? I am looking for something unique.
THANKS

I like pillar candles with photographs of weddings from your families! Conversation starters and SO romantic!

Re: centerpieces??

my wedding was in the fall, I made these myself. I would assume you could made similar ones for any season, incorporating different colors, snowflakes, seashells, flower petals, etc. I spent about $15 or $18 per centerpiece (you may be thinking, and it shows!!) but I have no regrets, the money was better used elsewhere!

Re: centerpieces??

I have not made my centerpieces yet, but I am planning something non floral. Our tables are oval so I want something long, so I a going to find a low, long candlelbra (more like the ones people use in their fireplaces). Instead of using pillars, I'm going to put glass votive holders on top of the candle dishes. I figure I can paint the candle holder to coordinate with my colors & I may use silk flowers or something to decorate the base. Preferably, it will hold 5 candles & will be staggered (highest point in the middle & then 2 different heights stepped down). I'm not sure if you can picture it, but when I have a base for it I'll post the pic.
