Good luck!
Reply:Lighted candles on a nice round mirror stand.
Reply:Why don't you have the grocery store bakery do 2 small square cakes (maybe 8 inches) decorated simply in your colors--stack them like gifts for each table. Add a ribboned cake knife at each table and the guests can serve themselves an addtional dessert!
Reply:We had friends do some floating candles in a bowl. It was made to look like a pond.
I had a neat idea last night, but unfortunately it doesn't go with my wedding colours.
My mom brought home some fruit flavoured twizzlers. Their all nice bright colours. Red, Orange, Blue, Green and Yellow. I thought it would be cool to get some clear flower vases and stick a whole pack of these twizzlers in each. Just need to make sure that the vase is shorter then the twizzlers so that they can fan out and hang a little over the top.
It would make a nice colour centerpiece that guest could eat. =)
Reply:candles, ice sculptures, mirrors with glass bowls, twigs and found items. I know there are DIY ice sculpture kits at Hobby Lobby
Reply:We, are planning our wedding for August. Instead of confetti we have decided to purchase scrap booking labels with words and sayings like "love", and "Two Hearts One Love". We will have a Small vase with clear stones (like you'd find in a fish tank) and a candle with these words and sayings scattered on the table around the vase.
Hope this helps
Reply:I don't have any links, but I am using apple colored Mosaic type vases w/ a candle in it, and I think they look beautiful, I'm sure you can find a vase in pink or lavender..either that or use a clear vase w/ pink and lavender marbles in the bottom, or clear vases w/ pink and lavender ribbon tied very neatly...good luck
Reply:I worked weddings for a number of years, setting up and banquet serving, and some of the coolest centerpieces weren't floral! The WORST were too tall....
One couple loved the seashore, so they had "bubble bowls" (pic: http://www.weddingflowersandmore.com/ima... ) with seashells and starfish inside, with a floating candle on top. VERY pretty, and everyone at the table could talk over it.
Another one I liked was different sized candles. Candles bring such a beautiful, warm effect to the table! It was similar to this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/40471077@N0...
Other good ideas are
sugared fruit ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/mercurialma... ), family photos,
Chocolates:

There's so much you can do with the season you're holding the wedding, your favorite things as a couple, and even incorporating the story of how you met, or significant events in your lives together! One bride I worked for had a different centerpiece for each table. Made it a bit more difficult to set up, but each table had something that related to the guests sitting there and how they knew the bride and groom!
Good luck!
Reply:use candles.
Reply:We're using herbs as centerpieces for our wedding in June. If lavender is one of your colors, I think it would be beautiful (and inexpensive) to have lavender as a centerpiece. You can purchase the herb at a nursery or you can also get it dried. Not only would it look beautiful but it would smell wonderful too. I've included a couple of links to pictures and also a link to a couple more ideas for "non-floral" centerpieces
Reply:beautiful glass vases with sand and seashells and a scented candle in it.
Reply:I have seen some people set up pictures of the bride and groom together - not just on their wedding day... I think that is kindof neat.
Reply:A great idea is to buy a square mirror (usually found in the candle sections) and put a few candles on it. The mirror reflects the light and it's just beautiful. Also some people use fish (kind of strange but different) and another idea is to get a poutpourri bowl tha'ts pretty good size, fill with water, and add floating candles on top. Also very pretty.
Reply:I used candles. I raided every second-hand store in the area and bought a ton of clear glass votives, enough for 4 per table. I borrowed mirror tiles from my MOH's wedding. it was simple, chic and best of all cheap. and re-usable. or if you don't need over 100 votives, just donate everything back to a second-hand store (esp one that donates profits to charity).

Also I went to a wedding that used vases as a Beta fish tank and the beta fish were all very exotic and they each had a bouquet of exotic flowers in them - they were very gorgeous!
Reply:A glass bowl with lit candles floating in water.
Reply:A candelabra would be beautiful!

Reply:Non-floral, huh? You don't really see that in the magazines. You could use a few different shaped vases in your colors grouped together. Pink and lavender complement each other so well, I bet it would look stunning. Ikea.com is a great source for cute, cheap vases.
Candles are are another idea. Like the vases, you could group a few of varying sizes togethor. You could set them directly on the table for a more casual look, or group them on trays in your jewelry color (like silver or gold) or mirrored trays to reflect the light. Again, try Ikea or Target. If you like a real unique look, use a few antique mirrors from a flea market or thrift store in similar colors. I think that would look stunning.
If you're going really casual, balloons would be another idea. But that might be a little too 'birthday party' for a wedding.
I've also seen one bride fill clear jars with candy in her colors and use those as centerpieces. Then the guests have something sweet to snack on too! You could use vintage looking ones (again, try your local flea markets or thrift stores, they're phenomenal for this kind of stuff on a budget) or for a more clean-cut look, try Ikea, Target, or the Container Store. Got a huge budget? Try Crate%26amp;Barrel or West Elm. Jellybeans are a great candy that comes in many colors, and you could also get M%26amp;Ms in your colors with your and your fiance's name printed on them, the date of your wedding or a special message. Check out http://www.candyfavorites.com/ They have a pretty good variety and sell in bulk.
There are also food centerpieces available. Try this article from DIY network (http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/le_other/a... or ask a wedding planner or culinary school in your area, or even your reception location. They could refer you to a shop in your area that creates these.
You could also just arrange the appetizers attractively on a multi-tiered cake. It's tall enough to attract attention and why not show off those treats you're paying so much for!
Hope some of this helps, and congratulations! I'm sure it'll be a beautiful wedding.
Reply:I've seen people put those "oversized" Champaine glasses on the tables with a beta fish in them. This looks REALLY pretty. You can buy marbled stones or crystals to use as "rocks" in there, and add ribbon or whatever to the glass to decorate. I've only seen it once, but it was SO cool. Then guests got to take the fish home at the end of the day. Could be pricey, but it's really pretty.
Reply:I believe it's bellaterra.net. CUTE boxes. I used the take out boxes for my 30th birthday party. My best friend is using a pedestal or charger and putting some of these boxes on them for her wedding. The boxes are filled with chocolates and they are her favors as well. She kills 2 birds with one stone...

I need ideas for floral centerpieces for a navy blue wedding??
Blue is a relatively rare color for flowers, but there are several beautiful varieties of flowers that go well in/with blue.
If you want to stay with primarily blue flowers, I would suggest looking at hydrangeas, delphiniums, and irises. Hydrangeas come in a few shades of blue from a bit darker to pale, almost purplish hues. Delphiniums are blue, but are smaller than many other varieties of flowers. Irises can be blue, but will have a yellow swath on one of the petals, which is great if you plan on accenting with yellows/golds/oranges.
Of course, if you are using accent colors, you can always use arrangements in shades of the accents to compliment the rest of the decor.
If you have a lot of money to spend on the wedding, you could even buy blue roses, which are beautiful, but are often not a true blue as they are dyed. A truly blue rose has been developed, but I do not believe that the botanists who genetically engineered that gem have been able to produce enough separate plants to mail out yet, and so the cost for the blooms is astronomical.

I love yellow with blue. For something non-traditional, how about sunflowers? They are so cheerful and less expensive. You could also go with gerbera daisies in both yellow and orange. Orange is a complementary color of blue, so tiger lillies may also be nice. If you want to go more "classic", I recommend yellow roses, regular or calla lillies. Also, regular white daisies with the yellow center may be a more muted pop of color. I also like the blue hydranges with the purple tips.
Reply:Mines a red wedding and I got a fishbowl and put a red pillar candle inside then poured in some sparkly clear plastic crystals and set on a candle mirror, its lovely you could do the same but with blue candles, or even put in white flowers and use food colouring to dye the water navy blue x
Reply:try fuchsia, Ivory, maroon or maybe yellow
ask the florist you pick if they have a book of their previous work and see if anything jumps out at you.... good luck
Reply:Tall Cylinder glass vases....multi blue or sea glass stones, shells and starfish inside, with just a few pieces of floral coming out the top.
Reply:Tall cylinder glasses filled with white carnations, white rocks, white ping pong balls, then insert tall, tall white gladiola or calla lilies and one or two plumes of navy grasses. Very striking would also be keeping it simple and striking by just 3 red roses in a glass vase in centre of each table set on top of a round mirror. Navy is such a clear, clean, crisp color that the more simple you keep it, the more elegant it will be.
Reply:I say totally go with the white. It won't look sailor-ish, it will look crisp and classic. If you are afraid of it, I would say the next best choice would be pale blues. Do not do pink or lilac - gag!
Reply:Hi and congratulations!
I'm am assuming when you say a "navy blue wedding", you mean that the bridesmaids dresses are navy blue. I am assuming, again, that you want flowers to compliment your navy blue color scheme, as no flowers come in navy blue.
I love bright yellow with navy blue. I would have WHITE table linens, a navy blue vase, and YELLOW roses (my first choice), or YELLOW sunflowers, or YELLOW tulips, etc.
OR....you can go with a blue hydrangea....still in the "blue" family. Put them in navy blue vases:
http://www.rosesource.com/20_Stems_Light...
ORANGE would also be a bold complimentary color!
Good luck!
Reply:I think yellow would go nicely with the navy color scheme. Maybe yellow roses or lilies in clear vases with votive candles around them.
Reply:I'm hoping that you have some other colors, because flowers don't come in navy. And if you go with white, you run the risk of having a nautical/sailor wedding. I would go with something in pale pink. Or a lilac color, but it really depends on the rest of your wedding. And any other colors. You should post some more details.
Reply:Navy blue? I don't really know if you can get dark blue flowers (unless they're fake or dyed) but red roses would complement navy blue very well. And, it avoids the sailor look a bit. Just don't mix in white...then it will be a 4th of July wedding!

Reply:buy some big bowls and put goldfish in them. Then give them out as souveniers for your gets. The kids will love them and they will be really cute. The fish are like 16 cents a piece.
Reply:I bought gold plates at Old Time Pottery for $1 each (called chargers) places a small candle holder in the middle with candles in them. Around the candle holder put fall colored vines that you also get at a craft store. I then put a camera at each table for my guests to take pics with. It was very inexpensive and I got sooo many compliments that people have ask to borrow my stuff.
Reply:get some vases and fill them up with copper and orange glass pebbles that is go in fish tanks and get a either a heart shape or diamond shaped glass and place the vases on it and just scatter some pebbles on the glass and also hav you and ur husbands name engraved on the glasses and decorate the vase with lace orange and copper ribbon
Reply:Instead of a floral centerpiece you could put a small cake on each table. Then you wouldn't have to get a large cake either. The cake should be large enough to serve as many people as there are at each table and then you could sprinkle flowers and have candles around the cake on the table.
My cousin did small pumpkins that were sprayed with glitter, they looked really cool and were really unusual.

Reply:Pale pink looks lovely with the tiff's blue and brown. Imagine glass cube vases with soft pink spray roses, soft pink stock,white hydrangea, white roses, soft pink waxflower, queen annes lace for a beautiful romantic garden look... brown napkins...

1. Tiffany blue daisies:

2. http://www.wedding-decoration-idea.com/a...
"**For a more dramatic, striking decor, match up the Tiffany blue with shiny black and silver. Go with a formal theme for this - pure elegance with sleek centerpieces. Skip the flowers and float balloons at each table - black, white and Tiffany blue.
**Deep, rich jewel tones are a wonderful accent to the bright sky blue of Tiffany boxes. Try a shimmering satin in burgundy, or a rich, deep emerald.
**For a more lighthearted look, choose jellybean green and white to set off the aqua. Play it out with favors of Lucite gift boxes filled with JellyBelly jellybeans in honeydew and berry, all wrapped up with a Tiffany blue satin bow.
**Create a backdrop for white flowers and blue ribbons with chocolate brown tablecloths. Fill Tiffany blue round bandboxes with chocolates, and top with tulle-wrapped Jordan almonds in blue and white."
3. Go with baby pastels or white flowers, and accent with tiffany blue crystals, ribbon or even glitter
4. A large, clear glass candleholder (hurricane lantern type?) in the center of the table with tiffany blue glass beads in the bottom and a white candle would be beautiful for a centerpiece.
5. Or, a large martini glass filled with blue jellybeans and/or blue jordan almonds...

Submerged floral centerpieces-How long can flowers last underwater?
I am wanting to make my own wedding reception centerpieces. The flowers would be a mixture of mini orange callas.. cymbidium orchids and alostromerias- I would like to make them 1-2 days in advance and may change the flowers included if they aren't the best for the job!
Submerged floral centerpieces-How long can flowers last underwater?
The alstromerias should be fine. I'm not too sure about the callas.
White orchids will turn clear if they are in too much water and kind of look like lettuce that has been kept in the fridge too long.
Roses work really well, though - I know that wasn't one of your choices.
I love those kind of arrangements, even if they are a little high maintenance- I think they are beautiful.
Reply:i saw a fabulous picture where they put waterproof lights in the bottom of the vase and lamp shade on the top and it looked awesome. they had 2 submerged calla lillies in each vase. one up the right way and one upside down and their stems were curled around (maybe wired).
if you wanted to do them early you could use artificial flowers. nobody will know as they can't touch them anyway
Reply:Think about silk flowers
Reply:Those are really hot right now, infact I just suggested them to someone on Answers. Do not make them a few days in advace. They need to be made the day of the wedding. Callas are stunning submerged as are orchids. Cymbidium orchids hold up better than Dendrobium ones do. Roses also look great, and so does Hypernicum, and Lilly Grass. I dont know how many you have to do, but if you do them the same day they will look great!

Reply:Those are really hot right now, infact I just suggested them to someone on Answers. Do not make them a few days in advace. They need to be made the day of the wedding. Callas are stunning submerged as are orchids. Cymbidium orchids hold up better than Dendrobium ones do. Roses also look great, and so does Hypernicum, and Lilly Grass. I dont know how many you have to do, but if you do them the same day they will look great!

What are the newest and most cost effective for floral centerpieces, for a summer tent wedding?
I'm planning a wdiing for mid July, on a Sat. night in a tent. The overall effect will be formal, as the tent will be draped with creme organza, the tables will have an overlay of sheer ivory, w/ gold ribbon entwined, and the tble will be adorned w/gold charger plates, etc. I need some ideas for a very sophisticated centerpiece,(Low on the table) and need some suggestions. Is Green hydrangea, viburnum, creme and or coral peonies available in July?..And what kind of container and style? Thanks.

go to a floral shop,and ask [if it's family owned their usually is someone in the family]even if its not there full time job that would have great ideas,and give you their full attenion,for a small fee of course!
Reply:We're doing flower blooms in water w/ gems or rocks on the bottom of a bubble bowl.

I'd be glad to help!
Reply:Green hydrangea and peonies may still be available, but it will be pushing it. You may have to find a florist willing to search for you, and you may have to pay a little more.
Is this an air conditioned tent? What state? How hot will it be?
These things will affect the flowers. With regard to container and look I would do a very contemporary, elegant,hi-style look with minimal flowers in an a-asymmetrical shape.

The table cloths are going to be black and I would like to use the hot pink as an accent...but I need help. Any ideas please??

We used large glass bowls (like rimless fish bowls), added colored stones in the colors of our wedding to the bottom, filled them with water, and added scented floating candles. They were gorgeous, and affordable.
Reply:A think a great idea is to use framed pictures of you and your spouse with backs facing each other. Candles next to them add a romantic touch. Something like this:

You should easily be able to find black picture frames pretty cheap and you can attach them together using swing brackets or even taping them together. It looks like this person used matting frames.
Reply:i love the m%26amp;m's in the vase idea also if you didn't want to use m%26amp;m's they have those colored balls you could fill the vases with. another idea i love is getting some fish bowls and getting bright colord beta fish to put in them...only problem with that is what happens to the fish after. if you have kids comming maybe talk to parents before and see if they would like to take them home {find homes for them before hand}.
i personally love non floral centerpieces...and they are cheaper!
GOOD LUCK! :-)
Reply:Use mirror fragments, glass beads/pebbles (used to fill floral vases), confetti, etc. around the table. Candles are always nice (just don't used scented candles because the smell will take away from the flavor of the food), but ask the venue if you are allowed to use candles, and make sure you have something to protect the table cloths from the dripping wax.
Reply:You could buy some tall drinking glasses or vases and fill them with white beads or fake white pearls and put a hot pink flower or floating candle on top. Or, group a couple of small vases together and wrap them with strands of fake pearls. Put water in and a few drops of food coloring to make the water pink and add a hot pink floating candle.

Reply:nice colors, hot pink and black! those are mine too!
not to mention you have "MY" wedding day to.
this is what we were going to do, get a fishbowl kinda thing with black/hot pink rocks with flating candles.
Reply:A round mirror purchased from a craft store with pink candles in glass votives. Sprinkle some flowers petals around it and you have a very elegant centerpiece.
Reply:I say do three vases at different heights on a mirror add water with hot pink rose petals and a floating candle on top. These centerpieces look awesome.
Reply:fill a glass bowl with black and hot pink stones, fill the rest of the way with water, and floating votives on the top.
Reply:I would do a clear cylinder tall vase with like peppers or limes in it... depends on the wedding colors these days those are very popular!
Reply:Fill a Large Vase or Jar with hot pink M%26amp;M's or Candies. Put votive candles around with some white rose petals.
Reply:A friend of mine had fish - bettas, I think. It looked really neat (the guests took them home at the end of the night).
Reply:Balloons.

What other options do I have for non floral wedding centerpieces? Do you have any pics of some ideas?
I using large rectangular tables and larger fish bowl centerpieces w/ smaller fish bowls on each side of the larger one. I plan on using flowers in the larger bowls, but would like to use something differnt in my smaller bowls. Do U have any recommendations for non floral centerpieces using smaller fish bowls? Or just pictures of non floral centerpieces in general?

Reply:the only thing i could think of was glass marbles. But what about reeds. (or is that consider floral?)
Reply:what is your theme?
Reply:Really anythng, but please don't use fish. Sure they look pretty, but then you need to find something humane to do with a bunch of fish.
Reply:I suggest using small floating candles in the smaller bowls. That is what we are using in our small bowls. :)

Reply:Ok the big one with flowers then if it 4 small ones I would love to see two of them with colored crystals (in your wedding colors) Then the other two you may do water with a floating candle how lovely... This would look so amazing and elegant.
