Over the course of wedding planning, there have been two things that overwhelmed me to the point that I threw them aside and pretended they didn’t exist. One is invitations (yeah, totally need to get started on that) and the other is centerpieces.

I had no idea what I wanted to do for our centerpieces. I was so overwhelmed at all the possibilities…and the flowers. I like flowers, but I don’t love them, plus a lot of them make me sneeze, so I knew that the tall flower arrangements weren’t for us.

I wanted them to look classic and simple but beautiful. When I think of that description, I keep going back to my wedding crush. I’m sure more than one of you have one. It’s that one wedding that is just perfect and inspiring that you want your own wedding to be everything it is…without seeming like a wedding stalker. It’s been bookmarked on my computer for months, and I visit it for inspiration once a week. I just can’t get over how perfect everything is, even their simple centerpieces:

Alright, enough of my love-fest. Since I just couldn’t figure out my centerpieces, I went back to this nautically lovely wedding and was finally inspired to make a decision:

Simple yes? Too simple/boring? I hope not. But in the end, hydrangeas, candles, and a touch of sea decor are the perfect combination for us, I think. Plus, now that I’ve made a decision, I feel much better. One more thing to cross of the to-do list!

Has your inspiration helped you in your wedding planning? Even though I try to get creative, I always go back and become inspired by past brides. Anyone else have a wedding crush?
