Would love to have some good ideas for non-flower centerpieces, please.?

Wedding next May (2009), so a springtime theme is in order, and I think I will be using dark pink as one of our colors.

Would love to have some good ideas for non-flower centerpieces, please.?
Big vases or glass hurricane lamps with large deep pink candles in them. You can put a few stones or metallic glitter around the candle in the vase and sprinkle some on the table as well to continue the theme.



The visual effect is strong, the colours fit with your wedding colours and the light from the candles makes everything (and everyone) look great!

Reply:I just found this good web site, there arint any pictures but they give you a number of ideas. ranging from fruit to staues and nicknacks. Im not doing flowers for centerpeices but bottles and candles. I hope this helps you out a little.
Reply:my best friend went to the craft shop and got thick pillar candles - she set them inside clear glass hurricanes and anchored them with river rocks. I think she spent $10 on each of them, and they were really pretty.
Reply:for my wedding, which doesn't have an exact date yet, we're having fish as the centerpieces. the colors will match the wedding colors as well. so as far as i know, the fish will be a burgondy color, and possibly black.
Reply:I used white table cloths and two different colored napkins on the tables. On top of the napkins, I put a glass candle thing that was 5 tea lights long.



You have plenty of options- of course candles, but small picture frames with candid shots of you and your spouse would be different. I went to a wedding of a race car driver and they used little matchbox cars for the centerpieces. Of course there are the disposable cameras so other people can take pictures there, and the bubbles or whatever for party favors. Try and come up with something that is unique to your relationship or your interests.
Reply:Try Edible Arrangement, They make floral like arrangement's from fruit. I had these at my wedding in Aug, 2007, the guest were completely fooled but the kids ate them up
Reply:A few people already mentioned hurricane glasses with large candles. I think that's a great way to go.

A whole page dedicated to non-floral centerpieces. Enjoy.
Reply:I am creating my centerpieces with a blue pillar candle inside of a large hurricane glass. It has white sand, beautiful seashells, and white finger starfish on the inside to give it an extra pop to all the whiteness. It has a tiffany blue ribbon at the base and will have white and tiffany blue petals surrounding it. It cost me $15 for each piece for the materials, not $65 like what the vendor was trying to charge me..(for the same thing!!)

Reply:A cookies n' candy centerpiece maybe. Get cookie bouquets, chocolate kisses (buy at Easter and they'll have the pink foil on them), personalized MnM's and other colored candy Have the bouquet as the centerpiece and put the candy in small dishes or in the little fabric drawstring favor bags (one bag per guest). I'v seen the bags at Wal-Mart, Target and the dollar store, and they are pretty, not tacky.



My wedding was very small, so when my kids and I went to the underground cavern on a road trip we bought chunks of raw amethyst and white quartz crystal from the gift shop and I incorporated those into my centerpieces (my colours were deep purple and silver-gray). It was very simple but the effect was beautiful.
Reply:Get some tall glass jars and buy some lemons and spray paint them colors to correspond with your theme.
Reply:I used large hurricanes, white pillar candles (because we couldn't find the right shade of pink), white and clear decorative rocks in the bottom, and i used pale pink and white swiss dot grosgrain ribbon on half and pink and white gingham ribbon on the other half around the small part of the hurricane. My candles were not quite tall enough (and the next size up was too tall) so I took some styrofoam discs and glued them to the bottom so they would be tall enough. The rocks covered the foam and it worked perfectly. I used tacky craft glue to attach the ribbon and I have since changed the ribbons and used them for lots of different occasions. I placed the hurricanes on square mirrors turned at an angle. I took white, light pink, and dark pink ribbon curls and scattered them around the hurricanes on the mirrors. They turned out absolutely beautiful! I bought my hurricanes on sale at AC Moore for just a few dollars a piece. The different prints on the 1 inch wide ribbon added interest without it being too busy since they were in the same colors and size prints. Good luck! Have fun!!!
Reply:I'm placing a table mirror, pink votive, and scattering whitish pink rose petals around them. I don't have pictures yet, but it will look very beautiful.
Reply:Put out low clear glass bowls with water and candles in them. You could add food coloring to color the water
