Wedding Decoration
Centerpiece Clueless........Please help me!

I need help finding centerpieces for my wedding. I am having a problem. This is the only aspect of my wedding that has a massive question mark. I have been back and forth trying to figure out something I genuinely like and want. Our venue does not allow glitter or fire in any aspect, and we cannot set up anything there, as well. Battery operated candles do not provide the same lighting as a regular flame. Our colors are green, gray and white. I have included a picture to help provide a visual for everyone. I need something (very) nice on the pockets and elegant. I do not mind being a DIY Bride, but I am not the best art person when it comes to things like this. We are living in New Jersey, but getting married in Wilmington, DE so I do not want anyone to be stuck with 28 centerpieces (maybe more). I have thought of everything from candy centerpieces to goldfish and fruit. PLEASE help me out! I am so clueless.

first off - love your colour scheme, gorgeous.

second - i like the idea of fruit, oranges are going to be part of my centrepiece, and I like the idea of limes or green apples for you.  just a pretty tall vase with fruit in them would be nice.  you could then give away the centrepieces so no one is stuck with them or you could rent your vases.  we are renting them from our florist/decorator.

I like that picture with the fruit in the vases.... I like what pamnandy said too- you could put twigs or something else in them to make it you!
There are many options out there, there are some great ideas that involve 4 picture frams glued together to make a box like thing (you'd put your engagement photos or something that reflects you and FH) and then put flowers in it (there is a picture on my blog somewhere with what I am talking about)....
Your venue doesn't let you have open flame - you chould clarify with them that you can STILL have real candles just make sure that they are in a deep enough holder that the flame won't burn anything unless knocked over?!?!

I sent you some pictures to your email....check those out and let me know what you think. You have many options because your colors GREAT!  You also can mix and match, so tall and small centerpieces to break up the room.

I agree with the ladies your colors are beautiful and the fruit centerpieces sound awesome. Im giving mine away at my wedding, what would i do with all those flowers? lol. I was very indecisive and searched and searched on line for months and even then changed my mind plenty of times, im sure my florist will need therapy after dealiing with me ha ha ha. But its your day and you have to be happy with the outcome. Project Wedding website (projectwedding.com) has tons of stuff, you can do a search by your color and it gives you everything you need within your scheme. It helped me a lot hope it helps you too.

Good luck.

I love your color scheme...so refreshing :) What shade of green are you using? Lime green or apple green? Flowers and fruits together would look beautiful as well. These flowers would look beautiful with your colors:

Green roses
White daises
White carnations (tightly bunched together)
Babies breath
White Lilies
White/green hydrangea
White dendrobium orchids

Green apples with white flowers on top in a vase would look gorgeous!

Thank-you very much ladies! Our colors were originally robin’s egg blue and chocolate brown for our fall wedding. However, our fall wedding has been moved to the summer. I was looking for another color to accent everything and I came across that picture in a magazine by theknot and I loved it. The girls found their dresses and they were a clover green and come to find out men’s warehouse has a vest and tie set that is clover as well.

For the wedding I am willing to work with all types of green that blend. Lime and forest green will be a bit too much though. Green will work. I am starting to feel like I have gained focus on the topic of centerpieces. Apples! ? Limes look great but I do not want me or anyone to have to cut lines. It is also something different which is perfect for the wedding. I want people to say and think, “Who would have thought of that”? I am going to start looking for vases and some possible steel tins for the gray for centerpieces. Thanks!
