We can't decide which centerpiece to use...?

We've even thought about drawing them from a hat!





What do you all think:

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersI like the 1st or the last one. The 2nd one looks like a mini lawn on the table lol. I mean the 3rd one looks like the lawn
Reply:Such cool and different style!! I think the jelly belly one is soooo cute, but would be much cuter if you only used 3 colors in the scheme.





I do like the chili pepper one too... it reminds me of the vases with whole fruits like lemons or apples, which are also cute.





Love your taste! (I couldn't see the last two :-( )
Reply:The last one is beautiful.
Reply:ok, NOT the grass one and NOT the one with the branches sticking out all over. That's annoying.





Here are my considerations:





Will the guests be able to talk through, over or around the centerpiece? For that reason, depending on how tall the Gerbera/jelly bean one is, I think it's your best option. Otherwise go with the tall glass vases. Really, when you're sitting down at a party as a guest,it's really obnoxious to have the centerpeice in the way of conversation





Secondly, II'm assuming guests at each table will be awarded a centerpeice? if this is the case you want something people can reasonably transport. The jellybean one is still your best option. AND it's different, and cute. Are you getting married near Easter? Or is it just a spring thing? Either way I think it's cute.





Just my two cents. Enjoy your wedding!





HAHA, I just read the other responses and had to reread your question to confirm that you didn't actually day it was for a wedding.... I just assumed!! Sorry if there was a mistake?
Reply:The first is very stunning, but I agree they may be too tall for a conversation piece. also, you will want to consider the height of the building and size of the tables, the number of guests per table, etc. you don't want to overwhelm your guest. 3 %26amp; 4 would do fine if it were an outside wedding. #2 is your best pick but if you are planning a formal wedding-don't use jelly beans unless they are all white. I think it best to use glass rocks, potpouri, sea shells, or gel water (the kind you mix with water and it forms a gel-like substance that looks like water)to fill the containers instead. you can purchase either item at your local craft store.
Reply:I really liked No 1. The rest of them were a bit cutesy for me.
Reply:Love all of them actually, I have very odd taste so I love the one that is the lawn!
Reply:I like the 1st %26amp; 3rd they are really natural and even a bit whimsical. I would consider doing both, if you alternate table heights you could also alternate centerpieces aswell. I would consider the Jelly bean centerpiece for my bridal shower or rehersal dinner. Assuming that the 4th is your bouquet it ties in very well with all the centerpieces even as a centerpiece. The 1st isn't too tall at all if it were wider then I think that you would have a problem. Your guests will be sitting down so they will be closer to the narrowest part of the vase. If they want to take them home believe me they will find a way.


~Congratulations!!





Tall round coctail tables around the perimiter of the eating area could hold a few taller centerpieces %26amp; they shouldn't be blocking the view cause they would be up heigher.
Reply:Okay, I LOVE #1. I like the height and I love bold flowers with long stems. I think it's great they all have different things in the vases. What are those? Lemons . . . and peppers? Ha ha! I love it!





The 2nd one is okay but the picture you attached looks like Easter so I'm glad you said you're doing bolder colors but it's a little harder to picture, and I'm not really crazy about the jelly beans.





The 3rd one (and I honestly don't mean to be offensive) would look hideous. It looks okay on there but it's too . . . I don't know but it's just wrong.





The 4th one is too seasonal (fall) or something. Also, I think those branches are much better with other flowers, not Gerbera Daisies.





I LOVE I LOVE the 1st one!
Reply:#2 or #4 - great height, won't impede the view, and the guests will be able to enjoy looking at the flowers themselves not just the vases.


the first one is too tall and once the guests are seated all they'll see are the stems in the vases. i'd prefer it to all of them if it was as short as the second and fourth ones!


#3 - i just don't care for.


happy wedding!
Reply:I like that first one but with a few modifications. It just seems a little too tall. I really like the fact that it has a "long" look because it is so different. Maybe you could shorten that look up just a bit but keep the "long" look with it.
Reply:the first one is beautiful!!
Reply:I like the first choice on the list.
Reply:I like the second one because your guests won't have to be looking around a tall centerpiece to talk to each other.
Reply:I don't like jelly beans, but I like the second one! I think it goes well with your whole theme since you're having a candy buffet.
Reply:What is the occasion?


Without that information, I'll just say that

is my favorite.


I really don't care for the plot of ground with a few flowers in it. The peppers are very colorful.


The last one is dried flowers, right?





best of luck!
Reply:I like the jellybeans. Candy corn (regular or the one with the darker colors) is also an idea since it will be fall.
Reply:Well, those are awesome arrangements. I'm a florist and I thought all were great... I wish I had some more details of what the centerpiece was for... Wedding, or a party, and what time of year? Well if its something super and elaborate I'd go with the first one, they are tall stunning and something that people will just be like, WOW. If its something more cute and intimate then the Gerber Daisy's with the jelly beans, what a cute idea and concept.
Reply:I really like the second one. I love the gerbera daisies. They are a happy, affordable flower that comes in so many different colors. I think that the idea of the jelly beans is really cute. Maybe if you go with this centerpiece you can also have a few jelly beans scattered on the table.


Very cute idea :)
Reply:i like the second one the best. it very different. I also like the fact is not very tall. As a wedding guest i find it annoying when I can't talk to the person across the table from me because a big and tall centerpiece is in the way.
Reply:i loooove the one with the tall stemmed gerbers. it looks super elegant with a fun twist! my second favorite was the jelly bean one. very cute.





good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:I think since you are doing faux flowers - I suggest the centerpiece with the wheatgrass and gerbera daisies - you could make the stems of the gerbera daisies curly in a sort of Tim Burton way. You can buy the grass at Michael's - ive seen it there many times (usually you can buy it with the 40% off coupon from the sunday paper).
Reply:From experience, the first is way too tall, the second is perfect, the third looks like a fake lawn, and the fourth is sort of Blair Witch with those twigs sticking out. The second is gorgeous, short enough to see everyone, not too distracting easy to take home (if you're giving them away) easy to set up, and just overall romantic. I vote number 2.
Reply:lol, im against the grain, i see, but i absolutely LOVE the 4th one. :)skin disease
