Floral and Centerpiece HELP

[Sapphire_Ag]

My wedding is in four months and we still have not picked our floral. I have some ideas but I am not crazy about any of them. Please help. I have been up and down almost every website I can find, but I just can't find something that I absolutely love and fits my theme.

Here are the flowers we are thinking of using.

I like the first flowers! How about something like this with those

It might help for others to help you if you posted your colors and theme (if you have one).

Good idea, sorry I didn't do it. Our theme is Little Mermaid and our colors are teal and purple. Our reception is at the Living Seas. Thanks for the help.

Since your theme is little Mermaid...here are a few out of the box ideas:

1. had you thought about floating flowers and/or candles in glass vases filled with water? Also, don't forget that the water can be tinted to one or both of your colors.

2. I have even seen amazing arrangements with fish in the bottom of the vases. Although, I have always wondered what they did with the fish after the reception. This one is nice, but I love it when they use huge glass vases with centerpieces on top and even lights inside the vase with the fish:

3. You could do coral and seashell centerpieces:

4. This is getting away from the "Ariel" theme, but had you thought about lamps for centerpieces:
