I AM LOSING MY MIND!!! Ive been working on these centerpieces at least every few days for months now. They've taken over my living room and have me ready to just elope (JK but kinda not).


Ill make this as short and simple as possible. I want mismatched centerpieces that still kinda go together so I need to come up with 3 to 5 set ups I like and then make sure Ive made everything for each "completed centerpiece". (Hopefully all that makes sense).

Any how the 1st pic is just 1 of each kind of item I have.

Most things I have several of and I can easily get more of everything if needed, EXCEPT the wheat (the wheat was $20 just for that little bit and I refuse to spend that much for more).

Pics 2 thru 4 are up close of items.

Pic labeled A was what I pictured in my head with some tables having wheat and others having dried grass or cotton in place of the wheat. Problem is when I lay it out I feel like the jars need something under them. It just looks like it is missing something to me.

The last 8 pics are just trials I was playing with.

MY QUESTION IS:
1. Do you like any of these as is and if so which ones? (Remember I need at least 3 different set ups)

2. Do you like any of these maybe in a different arrangement I didnt try?

3. Do you have any suggestions of something to put underneath or maybe around pic A?

Other info:
I have 100s of the wood slices ranging in size from a golf ball to maybe a dessert plate. None are big enough to hold all 3 items together.

I also have lots of cotton, doilies and dried grass.

The rose gold Mason jars with flowers, I was initially planning on doing half the tables with pink and the other half with ivory flowers.

Our wedding theme is somewhere between shabby chic and rustic. Colors are shades of pinks, greens and rose gold accents.

I plan on wrapping the non-lettered rose gold mason jars with a burlap and lace ribbon.

The wheat nor grass is permanently in those set ups. I have them held together with rubber bands for trial purposes.

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated and thanks in advance!

    Do you think it would ok to have 1 slice under each item. Like 1 under the votive, 1 under the mason jar and 1 under the 3rd item? I felt it might look odd because I don't have any slices large enough to hold all 3.

    Yeah, I was thinking mixing the white and pink flowers in the same jar.

    Like another poster said it might look better if they were clustered instead of the straight line, unless you have long tables instead of round. I was thinking just one or two pieces of wood under different items on each table but if you feel they should all be on wood, that would definitely look good too.

    I meant to put them in a cluster, because yes were having round tables. I will upload more photos of trials later with suggestions everyone has made.

    I think the last 3 would be great, H is my favorite actually. Another way you could add variety is to have just 1 of the 3 items on the circular wood slice. I think that would look good without the doily, or even with the doily!

    It really is but sometimes you have to step away and let it go for a few to gain perspective. Good luck!

    I like D, E, F, & H (minus the string thing and add a doily). I like the different heights. It gives it definition. And I like it all on the doily together.
