What is the TACKIEST center piece you have ever seen?

Just for fun and laughs


.


I was talking to my friend and I told her not to buy these expenisve centerpieces because people only remember the terrible ones. She agreed and brough up the only centerpiece she remembered was a dollars store glass with flower hot glued to the glass and it was a mess. And it had a candle in it.


The DJ told people to take them home and no one did.... until the brides mother started freaking out- and people just took them home to throw out to shut her up.





My worst one I saw was a shame because the step mother of the bride said she was going to make them and she didn't have a floral fridge so everything open up and died. They tired to pick out the dead ones so it was just a block of foam with a few flowers shoved into it.





One I heard about was someone used gold fish in little bowls. They set up before the wedding- by receiption time they were all belly up.

What is the TACKIEST center piece you have ever seen?
A cousin's wedding about 10-15 years ago. Back when "Bud-Wize-Er" was popular.... She had a frog theme... horrible.





Live frogs in a terrarium on each table. Horrible Horrible Horrible!!!!
Reply:So, the centerpiece wasn't that bad. It was a fake flower arrangement, not the prettiest looking thing, but not too bad. Most definitely fake flowers, not attempting to look real. Very pretty vase.





The tackiest part? As people were leaving, someone from the table would take the centerpiece. Three people tried walking out the door, each with a piece. The mother of the groom (my husband's aunt...gulp!) basically attacked them and took the centerpieces back. She went and collected all of the centerpieces and put them by her table. Went so far as to go to some body's car to retrieve one. Why, you ask? Lucky for you someone was just that curious and asked her...SHE WAS SELLING THEM ON E-BAY!!





Don'tcha know the next week there were 20 "Gorgeous, realistic look and feel" floral arrangements on sale through E-Bay.





(And no, my husband's family is not all like this one loony aunt. Thank goodness.)
Reply:The tackiest centerpiece I've ever seen doesn't compare to some of the above. However, it was at my boyfriend's friend's wedding.


They put beta fish in a small round bowl and placed it on a bed of fake flowers. The fake flowers were small and overwhelmed by false greenery. During the reception, they went table to table and encouraged everyone to take the beta fish home. Afterward, there were about 15 homeless beta fish and piles of fake flowers/greenery. Blah.
Reply:Ok I didnt actually attend this wedding, but my sister told me about it.


They had some cheesy theme like "pot of gold" and the bridesmaids dresses were rainbow colors.


The bride of course wanted actual pots of gold for the centerpieces. There was a pot and chocolate gold coins inside! They didnt want to fill the entire thing with chocolate, so they stuffed it with newspaper and laid the coins on top. Then the whole thing was spray-painted. Apparently it was a real mess and the spray paint was rubbing off on guests hands. To top it all off, balloons in rainbow colors were attached to the pot. They blew up the balloons 2 or 3 weeks before the wedding so you can imagine what it looked like.
Reply:I personally haven't seen any bad centerpieces, but I remember noticing someone on craigslist trying to unload some hideous looking centerpieces. They were little horse carriages with ugly fake flowers glued in them. Who would want to buy that? And they were trying to sell them for close to $80 a piece!
Reply:and that is why i am not doing goldfish. i saw at one wedding the bride had plastic party favors.... like the ones you get a party city for a dollar
Reply:After laughing my crack off with those horrible tacky stories, I must said that I have not seen nothing that would compare in cheesiness, however, I would contribute with:





-Yet anothet goldfish with fake daisies on a glass vase. It didn't look bad, BUT, at the end of the night, no one took those goldfishes and (this is the tickler) the drunken groomsmen ended up drinking them alive with shots of tequila. HORRIBLE!





-Another wedding (you've seen the pictures) she had gorgeous red roses centerpieces on each table, BUT, she had a money dance (?!!!???) and bow tie pasta and salad for dinner (HELLO?????). I cannot eat rose petals for dinner. people were hungry and fighting over the rolls.





Good luck
Reply:im sympathetic to be peoples budgets... but dang!!





We went to a wedding in may... and it was on a farm, and the reception was in a community center gym. I get that, no big deal... i had problems with The centerpieces (i might be a snob for this)





They were round mirrors, on the tables. And it had fake rose petals scattered on them and Votive candles (not even in holders, just the loose ones you get in a bag of 50 at the dollar store). Which sucked was by the time cocktail hour was over and people got through the buffet line... the candles had burned out. There was even an incident with an unsupervised child seeing what would happened if you combined fake petal with flame.
Reply:The worse one was a plastic pumpkin with a few cheap flowers stuck in the center. The couple got married close to Holloween. They were so ugly that no one took them home.
Reply:The worst one I saw was another dollar store bargain. The bride thought they looked exactly the Lenox bud vases she had seen for 30 dollars each. She tied 2 Hershey's kisses in tulle and used ribbon to tie them to the neck of the vase. Then a single wimpy red rose in each. She was like "These can double as favors!" She only put one on each table though...I guess the guests were supposed to each take a nibble off the Hershey's kiss and pass it on.





Edit: Oh my gosh..I just read about the one with frogs...you have GOT to give that one 10 points! EEEKK!!!!
Reply:I don't really have any horror story, but I cringe when I read some of the others, and just think, at the time the bride %26amp; groom thought that these were absolutely adorable.
