So. Centerpieces. I've known since I started thinking about my wedding (which, contrary to popular belief wasn't a full 11 years ago) that I didn't want big elaborate floral centerpieces. I didn't want anything too high or too cluttered. They just aren't my style. If I was going to do floral centerpieces, they'd be simple. Like this:
Pretty, simple, classic. I'll likely do red flowers, but this would be the gist. Maybe a clear bowl instead of the white vase, but just that.But what if I don't want floral centerpieces? After all, wedding flowers are expensive, complicated, fragile, easily ruined, wilted or destroyed. What if I did something else? Like candles...
A wider view of this type of arrangement:
I think it's so dramatic. It's still simple in its concept but I think it's just so darn elegant. If I did do candles, they'd have to be unscented (all those candles would overpower to food). The reception venue permits candles as long as they're in glass - so this would be totally allowable.
I still have PLENTY of time to decide what I'm going to do for my centerpieces. So if you have any ideas - let me know!

I am a *huge* fan of the candle-and-glass idea! Way better than the flowers, easy to set up and take down. How do you feel about white *and* red candles if they match your colors? We had also talked about putting a red napkin under the centerpiece to give it a "boarder" and tie the whole look together.
I think the red candles might look FAB in there. I do like the simplicity of just white (or cream) candles, but the red would certainly be dramatic!
