Centerpieces: need your opinion...

[dislovr]

OK...I purchased the centerpieces but now I am wondering exactly what I want to do with them. As you will see in the following pictures there are ones with flowers and leaves, ones with just flowers and ones with just leaves...I am going to split up the pictures into 3 posts because I know I will go over my picture limit in one post...

Well there are the pictures. In case you are curious we are having a September wedding and our colors are orange, yellow, and red. We have debated this subject many times and I thought i'd see what you guys think since your the experts!
I am not going to tell you what I like because I don't want anyone elses opinion being altered. I look forward to reading what you have to say!

Leah I like the first and last one.

I like the last one, but without the leaves on the table.... cool centerpieces!

i like the centerpiees. i dont know if this is an option but could you alternate tables. one withthe first and then another table with the third and so on. i think the tables with diffrent things on them look nice

Which one is your favorite????

I like this idea too-I love that look when tables vary slightly in decor.

Cool theming with your centerpieces, Leah!

I think it would look super clean and classy with just the all yellow flowers!! very pretty! I can't wait to really plan a fall wedding, that time of year is so inspirational!

I liked the flowers only. I find that one to be really elegant.

 

[Donald'sGirl]

I really like the first one but I also like the idea of make each table a different one. What about for a 4th option - using the 1st one as a template put the leaves in the cylinders and the yellow flowers around intstead? (Basically the opposite of #1).

I also like the idea of aternating.

 

[PirateKitty]

I like the leaves in picture #3. But the idea of alternating is also a nice idea.

I really like pic #2 (just the flowers) That looks really nice!!!

Well...since I think it was Lynn asked...there are reasons why I don't like all of the options
The flowers and leaves I just think don't go at all. That really isn't an option but I thought i'd put it on here anyway, what do I know maybe everyone else would have loved it and I would have had to re-think it.
The flowers only I think look to springy. As you all know its a fall wedding and I am just not sure about the flowers only.
The leaves only kind of look like just red/orange tissue paper . However if I order the leaves that I found off line. They are orange, red, and yellow, and they have the look of the "spine" in the leaves. I hope you all know what I mean.

So...thats what I think. Still hoping for more opinions though.

I see what you're saying about the leaves, and nicer looking leaves may solve the problem. I also see your issue with the flower, maybe something that looks less like spring like orange or red mums or marigolds?

Also how about orange or red candles instead of the white?

Ya I think I am going to go to craft store and try some other more fall like flowers. They only thing about the candles is the white ones came with the set so I already have them I don't really want to buy all new ones if I don't have to. Thats why i put the votives too to make the round ones look not so harsh.

I love the last one!
