    I like low the best because:

    1) All of your guests can actually see one another across the table;

    2) You don't have to worry about them getting knocked over; and

    3) You can have more fun with layout can opt to have a few low pieces in a bunch instead of one tall piece.

    We are using the halls tall center pieces, and almost no flowers. On the head table there will be low floweral center pieces and that's it.

    Low for sure. I feel like every time we've gone to weddings with tall centrepieces, I am always missing out on talking to half the table because we can't see each other.

    We just had this discussion with our new florists (we are ditching the old one) and have decided to go with tall centrepieces to help fill out the room more.

    We like the low centrepieces. For the head table, we are doing the mix centerpieces with the high ones at the end of the table and for guest tables, low centerpieces.

    I prefer low centrepieces. I find unless the high centrepieces are in a clear tall vase or on a thin stand with unobstructed views across the table, they just seem to get in the way on conversations at the table. We are doing low centrepieces in mason jars with flower arrangements in the jars. For our venue low centerpieces would work better as they are less extravagant, which is not what we are going for!

    I have a plan that involves cake display stands, greenery and candles. So they should be medium to low in height.

    I don't like tall centerpieces. I feel like they get in the way a lot. I prefer smaller or medium sized ones!

    We are doing medium and low. I find tall ones would be distracting in our setting.

    I think I would prefer low. I think when it's too tall it may be difficult to see and talk to the people across from you. We are just having oil lanterns as the centerpieces

    We are going high for the tables. The only ones who gets low is our kings table with our parents and siblings. We wanted a little bit of that wow factor.

    I would do low, just because we don't want guests to have to move centerpieces in order to see their people at their table.

    Defiantly low as possible so everyone can see each other and some no one breaks anything
