Do i need cocktail hour centerpieces?

I think it'd be okay to leave them plain. IF anything, maybe put a small candle in the middle. But I'd stay away from floral centerpieces for that area, since you will have so many florals already in the room.

I don't think it is needed! The tables are strickly there to hold the plates of hor deaurvs and/or drinks! You can put just a little something tiny in the middle like the PP said if you wanted!

I didn't even think of this lol. I'm not going to waste time or money on decorating a table people are only going to see/stand around for an hour.

I would do either a small candle if it is going to be used in the evening or a single stem flower and vase if it will be used in the day. if you have a florist see if you can add these for a small amount. if not do not put too much effort into this as others have said it will only be used for an hour and really no one will care.

I too will have high tops for cocktail hour on the deck. I am not decorating them. I don't want to bother with the expense. I will ask the venue if they at least have tablecloths to go on them. Maybe a little votive or mason jar would be cute with a candle.

We are having cocktail hour with few high tables outdoor in a beautiful garden as well. The tables will have a nice cover in one of our wedding colors. But besides that we’re not putting anything on them, first because they are small & people need to put their drinks etc somewhere, and second because the garden is already so georgeous that it doesn’t need any other decorations. I assume same is the case with your greenhouse.

I wouldnt have anything on them so people can have room for food but that's a great thought/idea

We were just going to put candles on the high tops and call it a day. I do not want to stretch the budget to figure in additional centerpieces.

I had 3 cocktail tables. I took 3 mirrors off the wall at my house and bought the votive holders for $3 each at Target in the dollar spot. The florist laid some leftover greenery on there.

If you don't have the budget for it, it's okay to leave it out. But it is a good chance to incorporate some personal touches of your wedding. Instead of flowers, you could use pictures of the two of you with a candle, or maybe even a few trivia questions or something personalized to the two of you.
