Hey I'm in work right now but if you look at my sig and go to the second page of my PJ my center pieces are there. I stole the idea from another DIS bride!

I'm having my reception at The Attic, so, IMO, I don't think it needs too much decorating...it just wouldn't look right.

In that case, I'm going to use the petals and votive candles to surround the vase with the orchid and floating candle on some of the tables. On other tables I plan on having the petals and votive candles surround black framed b&w wedding photos of my parents, FILs, and all sets of grandparents'. I love the idea of the personal touch, rememberance, and it doesn't hurt that it seems to fit in with the decor of the room itself. PLUS, it's virtually a FREE centerpiece! WOOHOO!!

Although my wedding won't be as large as yours, sometimes I think people feel that less is more...and that way, they are almost forced to notice the details rather than be distracted and visually over-stimulated. Afterall, your wedding day should be a reflection of you and your significant other.....not a theatrical production.

It's the small things that count in a big way! IMO, of course!

This is ours, but I think we're going to do cranberries instead of grapes. We're doing a fall theme with burnt orange, maize yellow, cranberry/wine red, and brown.

We are having this Cinderella carriage with floral inside that cordinates with the flowers of the wedding. It has twinkle lights on it too! Sorry, it's a huge picture!

Ours were going to be these flowers in the blue vases of the second picture, before we mercilessly cut them from our BEO!

Go Simple Don't Spend So Much On These, People Do Not Remember Them, And For The Most Part They Get In The Way Trying To Talk To People Across Table. We Did Simple Gel Filled Cylinders With Floating Petals, And Led Lights, And It Was Enough!

They are pretty gorgeous aren't they? You should tell your dad that you want those and then take another picture of his face when he gets the quote

I wholeheartedly agree. Everyone's centerpieces were gorgeous, be they simple centerpieces or more elaborate ones.

Go Simple Don't Spend So Much On These, People Do Not Remember Them...

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment, too.

My FTW vow renewal party was a progressive one, but I was lucky in that each venue was unique and really didn't need much jazzing up in any way. With the help of my wonderful Disney Floral Event Manager, the following centerpieces were used.

Cocktail Party: Kept things simple since venue was dark & ominous and didn't want to detract from that -- tall cylinders filled with red gel and topped with votive candles.

Dinner Party: Kept things simple since venue had old Western town feel -- small wooden barrels, ceramic moonshine jugs, rope lariats, driftwood frames, bundles of corn, bundles of twigs, bundles of leaves, bales of hay, and small hurricane lamps.

Dessert Party: Kept things simple since venue was already decked out in true Technicolor style -- bright floral arrangements & spiral lollipops that sat in colorful ceramic flowerpots; at each place-setting sat mini-cakes, pairs of ruby slippers, and small purses filled with colorful Runts candy.

Dance Party: Kept things simple with illuminated cocktail tables that changed colors all evening long; cocktail tables were topped with tall cylinders that were filled with red gel and topped with votive candles.

So, the moral of my post is that you should give consideration to the venue in which your party is going to be held. If it is already a beautifully decorated venue on its own, then it won't need much in the way of additional touches. However, if the venue needs a little jazzing up, give much thought & care to how you think it can best be done. But try not to go overboard. As someone has already so kindly mentioned in this thread, most folks aren't going to remember how the venue was decorated. They're only going to remember the wonderful smiles upon the faces of the happy couple (you and your spouse). Your loved ones don't need much more than that to make them happy.
