I finally took pictures of our centerpiece stuff. They are comprised of a golden color pillar candle, some of the floral glass marble things and a vase. There is also a rust colored ribbon, but I just tied it into a bow since I’m not sure what to do with it.
We bought many things to try in the vases - rocks, different colored candles, different colored marbles, and candy. After all the different things were thrown together, this is what we like (again, the ribbon is a test run).
Another shot of the centerpiece with Woofie investigating in the background:

Now, when I see the elaborate floral designs and the towering displays of other weddings I feel a little wistful. Then I remember, floral centerpieces weren’t something I wanted. I wanted low, glowing vases that give off a sparkle. There are more things we’re going to use to dress up the tables, but we’re not entirely sure what yet. 
So this is our trial centerpiece run. While it may look cheap to some, I really like the minimalism involved.

Ooooh too cute! And I am currently explaining my complicated ribbon idea to you now. It involves crossing the ribbon instead of tying a bow and gluing a paper leaf and/or pinecone or something at the cross point! Haha I am way too excited about this.
I love your choice for centerpieces. It will definitely set the mood at your reception!
I love it! I think the bow looks good! I think Miss Bluebell’s idea of gluing something in the middle is good as well.
my centerpieces are similar to yours …. though i wasn’t planning to add a ribbon. surrounding the centerpiece will be votive candles and rose petals.
I really like them! I too am not having floral centerpieces…and sometimes I find myself looking at the elaborate floral designs people have and feeling wistful as well! Although, I’m saving a lot more money by having candles, and it’s what I wanted anyways! I don’t think they look cheap at all - I think candles set a very romantic mood!
i love the simplicity of this! the bow looks really cute too. maybe u can do some with the bow n some without?

About Me: I'm a bookkeeper who failed high school algebra. I'm currently living in Los Angeles, literally a street over from where I grew up with Mr. Kiwi, my honey of three years. We have a jumbo mini-dachshund (seriously, he's huuuuge), and we're planning an autumn themed wedding on a shoestring, paid for by ourselves. The wedding date is my late grandma's birthday, I needed her there somehow, and that seemed like the best way for us. I can't believe I'm a Bee! I couldn't be more proud!
