Are centerpieces really that important?

That sounds fine. We're just doing a small vase with silk flowers. No candles or anything.

As long as you have centerpieces you're fine. Tables look unfinished without them. Those sound very nice :-)

I have 8' buffet tables. My centerpieces will be a tea light lantern(8" high) sitting on top of sliced wood, scattered around will be a few mini pumpkins and leaves. The only flowers will be from the wedding party and those will be very minimal. I love the minimal look over anything to huge. Lol honestly it's not the reason people are there.

Our centerpieces consist of a fresh pineapple with some shells around the base. I think yours sound fine.

And it's nothing against people who have more extravagant centerpieces, I love seeing what people come up with, it's just not my thing. I was at my friends wedding a few weeks back and hers were pretty extravagant and beautiful, and it just got me worrying that mines not enough.

I think I just worry to much about what people will think! Thanks for the reassurance ladies

It's always up to you as to how you decorate your wedding. I have a lot of clients who do mason jars and wildflowers and votives. Perfectly fine!

Sounds pretty to me! I think you'll be perfectly fine with what you're doing already! =)

Sounds good to me. that's about what we're having just 3 round vases with floating candles in blue water. i'm not big on planning or flowers. flowers die (so to me are a waste of money) and i'm just not good at planning stuff. i really think your tables will be fine

This was ours, simple and elegant. They furnished the mirror and hurricane with taper, we did the rest. I got the votives and glass holders off yummicandles.com and a few people helped me add the lace and ribbons with fake rings tied in them.

What you are doing with the centerpiece sounds amazing. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

It depends on your style and taste I think that will be fine a wedding does not need to be covered in flowers.

Honestly I think centerpieces are a big waste of money. People way over spend on them and no one but the ones who cared about or paid for them will remember.

I have never been to a wedding from which I can even remember the centerpieces. Don't sweat it!

I believe as long as you have something that is aesthetically pleasing, your centerpieces are fine. Everyone doesn't have to do something fancy and major.
