We used green apples for one of our centerpieces.

Ok, I’m very curious. That guestbook table picture … are the lights in the vases from a Christmas light strand that was put in the vases? That looks so cool!

My cousin used big heaping bowls of citrus fruits (lemons, limes, oranges, key limes, kumquats) with small white flowers (orange blossoms and stephanotis) tucked in randomly. It turned out really great and was a great addition since we were in citrus country (Florida.)

I think using something else besides flowers is such a good idea for centerpeices. I am getting married November 15th, and it is going to be a VERY fall themed wedding! My wedding is in Virginia, so it will be a little chilly out, but my parents backyard is on over an acre of land and the area where the ceremony will take place is under a huge tree that will be all gorgeous orange, yellow, and brown leaves. I own my own flower boutique with my mother and sister so we are doing all of the flower arrangments. For my bouquet I will be having red, orange, and yellow roses mixed with silk fall leaves. My maids are carrying bouquets of silk dried leaves, mini sunflowers, and dark red roses to compliment their chocolate full length gowns from Watters. It is VERY different, but that it what I wanted. Our centerpieces are my own project. I am going to carve out 20 meduim-sized pumpkins and use them as “vases” Inside them will be again the silk dried leaves, red roses, and orange marigolds. Every table will also have a mini pumpkin on each plate, and red apples will be surrounding our cake.
Sorry I went on a rant, but YES there are so many other ways to incorporate materials other than just flowers
