My vote is on the short centrepieces. Huge/tall centrepieces are annoying when trying to socialize across the table. I've seen people actually put the tall centrepiece on the ground, to see a clearer view of other people on their table.
If you must get a tall one, I'd vote on the very far left. It's easier to speak across the table with the clear vase.
You are over budget. No one will remember the centerpieces. Hydrangeas with one rose.
This is very true. I've been to a number of wedding receptions. I was a server at a banquet hall for about two years, all Saturday nights in the summer was a reception. I also did some wedding photography and I've attended as a guest, but not as often. Of all those times, I do not remember anyone's centrepiece. What I remember more is how awesome/bad the music was.
A centrepiece is something you admire for the first 30 seconds when you sit down, then forget about. When you get married, you'll appreciate it for about the same amount of time and then get over it. I'm sure you'll be too preoccupied enjoying yourself and everyone's company.
You are right. I usually walk in and am wowed and then go party. Thinking back to my friends weddings, I can hardly remember what their centerpieces looked like unless I look at pictures. I can't remember what the cakes looked like either. All I remember is the food and if I had a good time. Think I will stick with adding the hydrangeas and a few roses. I like how it looks already but a few modifications and it will be awesome. Thanks for all the help!
I would eliminate the hanging crystals and have the florist add some dangling ivy or something similar. A classier look and with the money you save on the crystals you can probably add more roses to your short display.
I had my floral mockup today and not totally in love with the flowers. I wanted them to be more full but of course if it is more full it is more money and we are already way over the budget. I have attached the pictures of the 2 tall floral arrangement mockups. Which do you like best? I want the room to be romantic and elegant. The venue is very light and has chandeliers so I figured the one with all the dangly jewels would look nice in the venue. For the flowers, I asked her to change the green hydrangea to white hydrangea and pink hydrangea and add in some blush roses. I also asked her to remove the pink filler. Do you think this will help? How many roses should I have her add? It is $3 per rose so trying to do as few as possible! For the low floral, she basically had made a mini of the tall, which is not what i wanted. I wanted an igloo of flowers (so no vase showing) with just hydrangea and roses so she said she can do that with some roses. How many roses do you think we should add? I attached the photo of the original low floral I loved but would be so pricey for all the roses I would need so I guess I am aiming for a mini version of that picture? And then I was thinking of switching the candles to floating candles? Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks!
I actually don't like the ones with the crystals. It really blocks guests from actually seeing each other across the tables.
