I am in the garden room andgot tall centerpieces from my florist, do you think it will look okay, I cant remember the cielings

I'm in the garden room too...my florist recommended low CP's which is want I wanted anyway.

Don't worry though, I think high ones will look good as well!! It's not as if the ceilings are only 6.5 feet or something! (I lived in an apt. like this before - not fun if you're tall )

I also am in the garden room and my florist also recommended to me that I get low centerpieces dur to the ceilings. I dont think it will look bad at all. I personally really wanted tall centerpieces but my fiancee felt strongly for the low ones(i had to give him something in this wedding ).
They are going to look so beautiful in that room you'll see

Tall centerpieces will look fabulous in the room. I have seen them set up at showcases in the Manor Room and they look awesome! I am also have high centerpieces!!

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

I think tall centerpieces should look nice as long as they are not too big that they overpower the room

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

Great, I could not remember for the life of me how high the ceilings are but I think the manor room and garden room should be the same height of celings

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

I've seen high CPs in the Manor Room that looked gorgeous - and the ceilings are the same height!

For those of you who have cars picking you up, my reception ends at 1am and the car comes at 1:15 do you think that is enough time to wrap up. For you past brides what did you do.

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

I am alittle concerned about the darkness of the manor room, do you think they would or if it would ok if I got white light to put up around the windows in the manor room. Do you think they would put them up for me? What do you think of this idea? Would it look funny? Thanks :)

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

Do not be concerned about the darkness of the room at all -it's not that dark once you are in there with the candles, the light from your video/photog, etc. My pictures all came out fine! We did chose light table cloths so to make the centerpieces stand out on th tables.

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

What do you think about the little white lights to put up arounds the windows?

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

I am not sure - I think that the WM may not allow you to do that, you should check with them since they may be a fire hazard considering all the windows have drapery.

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

I didn't even think of it being too dark. I didn't plan on having candles. Do you think I should add some to the tables to add some light?

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

I wasnt gonna use candle either but I think I am going to use them, it gives it more of a romantic look.

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

It's not dark at all - you don't need to have any candals if you don't want. I just had 2 pillar candles on the table on either side of my centerpiece and I chose the light table linens and it was fine.

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

I am not sure about the lights around the windows. I would call. I am having votive candles on the tables because I love the look. For girls interested in candles who don't want to be crazy like me and buy votives, WM does provide two tall pillar candles holders in silver and they supply the candles for that as well.

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

Are you all doing a walk around or setting up a box or a cage for your cars, if so where are you putting it, I cant figure out where it would go it seems there is no room for anything on our table

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

I was just in there and the place is all decked out for February. It looks great. Just wondering if anyone knows what it looks like in March??

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

I have never seen WM except for around thanksgiving time. Does anyone know what it looks like in August? thanks

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

I booked in August and it was all in bloom, really beautiful flowers and plants inside and out - I don't think there is a 'decoration' for August - just all the flowers!

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

I am probably going to put the card box on a small table on the side and behind us. I am also putting the cake on the side table. So the piece of table normally in front of the sweetheart table will be moved to one side behind us and then on a table the same size on the other side I think I will put the card box and I was thinking of doing a collage and putting our parents wedding albums out or something like that.
