Wedding Blog

For about 75-80 guests, I’m expecting that we will have about eight tables. I wanted a variety of heights for our centerpieces, half tall, and half low centerpieces. I love these centerpieces which are featured on White Lilac:

I love the wrought iron candelabra idea and the jewels hanging from the centerpiece. I searched all over the Philadelphia/NJ area for candlestick holders, and I found five that have a similar design. For the hanging jewels, I found chandelier crystals from this website. I tied each jewel to the candlestick holder with a very thin monofilament fishing line. I wanted to hang each jewel just like how it was done in the White Lilac arrangements, but the idea just didn’t look right with my candlestick holders. So I hung each jewel at a shorter distance from the base and added six jewels across the holder.

The effect is not as dramatic but I think I prefer this design because it looks more organized.

For the low centerpieces I bought metal vases from Jamali Garden. I am sooo addicted to buying stuff from this website. I bought a bunch of vases and urns that match the color of the candlestick holders. They come in all different heights and I’ll add three urns/vases to each low centerpiece table and several to the tall centerpiece tables. These are the metal vases I purchase on their website:

Small Bronze Beaded Urns $6.99 each

Oval Urns $7.50 each

Lion Handle Urns $14 each

I love these copper vases but they’re out of stock!

As far as the flowers, I will primarily use roses because they are easy to get in whatever color I want, such as lavender, mauve, light green, yellow and ivory. Hydrangeas and roses are a pretty combination and I might also add some green orchids or cream colored peonies.

I feel like I’m pulling all these colors and ideas out of my imagination. Would they look great or would my ideas fail? I guess I won’t know until our wedding day. In the meantime, I’ll keep my fingers crossed tightly.
