Wedding Centerpieces Question

[Morgie44]

Our floral quotes are coming out to be a little higher than I had hoped they would so I am looking to cut back on our flowers a bit. Originally I had planned to do a mix of high and low flowlers, but now I am thinking about mixing in a candle centerpiece as well. My mom thinks this will look too busy. We will have 20-22 tables so around 7 of each, I think.

SO, do you think this combo will be too busy? Please be honest!

Here are the inspiration pictures of each centerpiece:

Here are the tall centerpieces, but they will be green and white hydrangea with some green hypericum berries mixed in.

Here are the candle inspirations, except they will be in smaller hurricane vases.

I think that it would be okay to do three different types of centerpieces...and I love your choices. I think it would only be busy if you put them all on the same table. No worries.

Not a big fan of the high centerpieces ... I always feel that these make it difficult to see other people across the table.

oohh, I like the candle ones. I don''t think it will be too busy because you have a lot of tables. If you had less tables, I would say go only with two

Not a big fan of high centerpieces either. They always look overdone to me. I love your low centerpieces, they''re beautiful.

I am not a huge fan of tall centerpieces over all either, but because the room has such high ceilings, I think that a few centerpieces with height to them might be best. Here is the room that the reception will be in.

W O A H !!! Gorgeous room! I am doing a mix of tall and short I think that since you have quite a few tables this mix would totally work. Plus it seems you are pulling all the same colors together so it will be a really nice, harmonious look. Beautiful!

I wouldn''t do high and low and candles. I''d do either high and candles or high and low. Sorry if I misunderstood the question! I agree you''ll probably need to do high with the room. Low will get lost if they show up at all. Beautiful room, btw! I vote for high and candles!

I agree. I HATE tall centerpieces. I just went to a wedding that had 3 different ones that were mixed around the room (which I thought was clever). One was a low flower arrangement, one was a series of candles (3 I think). One was a tall vase with curly twigs in it. It looked cool but of course that was the one at our table and it was annoying (can''t see the person across from you). But I am sure it cut their flower costs in half.

i love teh hydrangea, but think you could do thos in low arrangements along w/ the other low arrangements you have. a variety is nice. I agree with most here that high centerpieces may look nice, but they are hard to see around when you are sitting.

love the reception hall by the way; stunning.
