Can you have more than one centerpiece design?

If I understand you correctly, you want the love buckets in the middle and the candles at the ends? It might work, depending on the size and shape of the table. If you are able to, do a trail on a table you are using to see if it works.

I will be doing 2 to 3 different centerpieces. I feel like have a couple options that tie together looks better than them all being exactly the same.

You can definitely have a variety of centerpieces! We have three, a high, medium, and low option.

I don't think it's crazy at all. Our florist actually recommended 3 different kinds of centerpieces and that is what we are doing!

Go for a mix if you think it looks nice! We originally had three centerpiece options, unfortunately the DOC at our all-inclusive got mixed up and only did one style. I think it would have looked great either way! Like you, we had a mix of flowers and something with candles.

Lanterns don't need to be expensive. Five Below has them and there were a couple of threads recently bout another sources for a less expensive lantern.

You can do whatever you want! Our linens, my bridesmaids, and all of our centerpieces will be mismatched. I think that looks so much better than standardizing everything and having a cookie-cutter approach.

I think what you're saying will be beautiful

These centerpieces are gorgeous!! All real flowers, I think? Did you put these together yourself?

She did a really fantastic job, I love this visual variation! And definitely being flexible with flower choices is key when working within a budget. Such lovely decorations, you had a beautiful wedding
