Re: help me pick my CP
i love the idea of #1, but i think i love #2 just a little more. maybe because i LOVE those kind of flowers, but that paired with whatever is in that vase and some votives - i really think that's beautiful.

I like #1 and I think it will be a lot less expensive (not sure if you are looking to save money or not but lilies can be pricey)

Re: help me pick my CP
I LOVE the callas. I would do a mix of the callas just how they are, with VERY FEW white branches spread throughout for texture. Love it!!! OR if you like the wintry tree branch look more, I would add hanging crystals all over the tree and make it more dramatic. Also votives and petals spread around the base for the callas cp, or votives and loose crystals sprinkled around the base for the crystal tree. I think white branchy one is a little bare as is now. Love both of them!!

I like #1 but maybe if you added some flowers to it to give it that extra pop it would be perfect.

It is a tough call they are both very pretty- Could you alternate tables and use both?

I like the idea of a silver branch centerpiece but I feel like it's missing something, you know?

I would go with #2 for the centerpieces... If it was in your budget i would get something like #1 for the place card table with some hanging tea lights or votives on the table

Thanks so much for all your opinions - I had no idea how hard this would be for me!
Believe it or not both of these centerpieces cost exactly the same! I was in shock when they told me that birch branch CP (with NOTHING alive in it) would cost the same as the callas!
As I'm sure you're all experiencing as well, wedding costs are spiraling out of control. I decided that I would not go overboard on flowers. If money wasn't an object I would actually change both centerpieces:
The white birch would have more birch branches as well as crystals hanging. Turns out the florist would charge a good amount more for stringing the individual strands of crystals (I'd also have to purchase them myself!)
The calla lily CP would have more calla lilies although I think the suggestion of adding the white birch branches might just work in its place - BUT they did show me a pic of the CP with natural birch branches and I didn't love it. I feel like the florist will shoot me if I tell her to mock up the same thing with white birch branches (I added the pic to my album)... ahhhhh

Have you ever thought of buying manzanita branches and doing it yourself and then just getting the florist to add small balls of flowers to them? You can buy them fairly inexpensive on the save-on-crafts website. Here's a picture.
I would totally pick #2! i can't believe they are the same price!

Re: help me pick my CP
can you get callas in December??? I love 2, but 1 is more more 'wintery' number 2 makes me think summer.....maybe you could add some rose petals to the base of 1 to add some color?

CP 1... but add blue uplighting to it... and they will glow with such a winter feel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oooo and with that ice effect you have going on in CP2.. put that with the blue lights in CP 1. that would be hot hot hot!
