Centerpieces for Oval Tables

I was planning on getting round bowls with two dozen roses for my centerpieces with two tall candles on either side. We went to visit a florist this weekend that explained it may not look right with an OVAL table. He suggested we get more of an oblong centerpiece. I need some suggestions. If anyone has pictures of oval tables with centerpieces (any kind) it would be so much appreciated. I really don't like oblong - I'd rather have round but I don't want it to look funny.........Help

Michele31 had oval tables and oblong centerpieces:


You could also do a long line up of small square vases and candles:

We had oval tables, and I had the florist create a slightly elongated centerpiece. I had a seashell theme, so to lengthen the decor a bit more, I had them scatter small seashells around the outer edges of the centerpiece...(but, if you use roses, you could create a similar effect by scattering rose petals.) Then we had our table name cards placed at both ends of the table. I think it worked out well for the table shape.

Thanks!! Ok, I'm feeling better about oval (oblong) centerpieces. These are very nice! Sonicstef where did you find the photos? Is there anywhere I can look?

I found the photos at a site called www.rentedelegance.com - they have some beautiful photos of room and table decor.
