Your Questions About Elegant Centerpieces

Sandy asks…

needing help with wedding centerpieces… any suggestions for something elegant and inexpensive?

Indian wedding for about 500-600 people which means 50-60 tables. Might need to get something different for the RSVP tables. looking for something not over the top but not dull either. Any help would be appreciated.

Susan answers:

Ah… We have 400 people invited and these are my ideas:
1. Buy a couple wholesale cases of vases, buy flameless tealights and fill them with those clear colored rocks and place the light inside (it provides a fire-free way to look like a candle) Then put flowers/branches coming out of the vase- it looks like light-up flowers, really beautiful…

2. Get plastic cake stands for each table and put a candle on the top (there are flameless larger candles you can get as well) then put 2 or 3 different colored flowers around the two bottom tiers. It looks like a cake with a candle on the top, and it gorgeous!

3. Order large flat-bowls (glass) and do floating flowers and candles- gives a nice ambiance for a night time wedding

Good Luck!!! Oh yeah, and remember, you can get a lot of wholesale items on ebay in large quantities!

Lizzie asks…

i’m using candelabras as my wedding centerpieces and need a elegant way to number my tables that won’t clash

Susan answers:

Or just a nice frame that matches the candelabras.

Donna asks…

Making centerpieces. I have 8″ inch mirrors and 5×5 candles. Looking for something elegant to go around them?

The mirrors and White candles are setting on a gold plate charger… looks great, but lacking that “something” around the bottom of the candle…. (Colors are black, gold, white). These are for a class reunion. NEED SOME SUGGESTIONS PLEASE.

Susan answers:

What about putting gold or black gems or marbles around it? Or a black satin bow around the candle? You can put beautiful black feathers and glue them around the bottom of he candle. Or put loose pearls on the charger.
