Votive Table numbers-Got Slammed

Hey Guys!
FH and I made our first trial of the votive table numbers. We got 10.5 inch vases in order to make sure they are easy to spot and do not get lost since we will be having a high centerpieces (guests eyes will be initially drawn higher on the table). We really liked how it came out and I was so excited to show my parents who both totally slammed them! They thought it was way too big and that it would look foolish along with the votive placecards we want to do! I told my mom that I love candles and candlelight since it IS a wedding after all (more romantic IMO), and she said it won't look nice instead it will look like a funeral. My dad today said the same thing and mentioned that it is way too tall and instead should be low (but then how the heck will the guests see it?). It pathetic but I feel soo bad and unsure now (of course all this happens AFTER I bought everything!).

I am including pics so u guys can give me ur honest opinions. Keep in mind that FH made a monogram that will print like a shadow in the background and that we will not keep the striped ribbon, I will use a solid colored chocolate brown ribbon.

IMO- I think they are great!! They will flow perfect with your colors. Maybe your parents cant visualize how nice it will look with all the pink and browns at your wedding.

It looks great!!!!! Nothing like a funeral!!! I say go for it, your parents will change their minds once they see everything all together. They just can't picture your vision right now. Reassure them, everything will be fine!!

I like them, and think they came out really nice! Maybe if you parents just get used to them? They're unique and untraditional looking, so maybe they're not what your parents are used to seeing.

I really like Votive Table Numbers, I think they are so pretty and who does love candlelight? I say if you and your FH love it, then go for it!

I think the sample is beautiful. If you adore them then do it. Say to your parents, 'I respect your opinion but I think it will be a nice touch!' Good luck!
