Giving away centerpieces?

Hey ladies,

I wanted to find out what you are doing with your centerpieces? Are you giving them away or keeping them to sell after the wedding? I'm doing floating candle centerpieces with 3 to a table. I was thinking of keeping them to sell afterwards but what do you think? I know most people want to take the flower centerpieces home but mine isn't like that so idk if my guest would be as interested in taking those home.

I worked at a few catering halls and when the bride and groom had candle centerpieces the guests just left them. Hope that helps!

We are doing 3 cylinders w/ orchids and floating candles. I know that used to be the tradition to give the centerpieces away, but honestly we are paying for the entire wedding ourselves and it saved us a lot of money renting the centerpieces vs buying. So we are not giving them away.

We have the same centerpieces! Our florist didn't even give us the option of renting. I wish they did

I'm planning on doing the same, do you mind sending me FM with the information of where you're renting from and price? This sounds way easier than DIY. Thanks :)

For those girls with floral centerpieces-- how do you plan on giving them away the night of the wedding? Next birthday, next anniversary, oldest, youngest?
