Centerpieces: Floral or Non-Floral?

Lynnie, on May 7, 2018 at 11:27 Posted in Wedding reception 0 26

This week's game is all about floral decor and non-floral alternatives. Smiley flower This can be the place where flowers get super pricey! You can stick with floral arrangements here, or use non-floral pieces to incorporate a theme or keep your costs down! You can use frames, candles, greenery, logs, wood slices, fruit, books, lanterns, vintage items...

What will you be using for your reception centerpieces? Flowers? Or something else?

    I'm on the fence about this because the quotes we've gotten for flowers have been way over our budget.

    I don't know what those shapes are in the second picture, but now I want to do my whole wedding over again and make that the theme.

    I say simple floral, but we’ll see what our planner proposes and what the budget allows for.

    Mostly non-floral. We are having 1 flower per centrepiece, so there’s just a touch of floral. It not too much

    We used globes as our centrepieces and then incorporated pictures of the groom and me at different locations since our tables were named after countries we have visited.

    Floral, but again very minimal. We don't want to over crowd the tables and the room.

    Non-floral. Our venue provides beautiful silver lanterns and will put a battery operated candle inside. We are also adding small wooden mind-teaser puzzles as decoration/entertainment since we love games and we are putting out scattering glittery diamonds around the base of the lantern to simulate stars (our theme is celestial).

    Floral. We have circular wood slabs we’ll use for the base. Then we’ll use lanterns and vases with flowers.

    Floral - It'll be kept simple, with a few long tropical leaves and a few flowers + a few votives.

    We’re doing beach rocks and sand, water and a floating candle. We are DIYing our centrepieces so without the flowers we can do them ahead of time and cheap! Plus we both don’t like the look of flowers
