Centerpiece style #1
These are the submerged orchids centerpieces.
I used:
*Silk orchids
*Cylinder vases
*Votives I got on sale at Michael's
*Flower petals
We were going to use floating candles but decided against it and just the votives around this with fuchsia and orange flower petals scattered at the base of the vase.

Centerpiece style #2
These are the branch style centerpieces.
I really wanted branches without breaking the bank. My first mock up was sparse, but I lucked out and found smaller scaled versions (the original had vases that were $7.99 each - not bad but I wanted to do better, and branches that would have been $5.99 each and I would have needed two...again I knew I could do better).
For these I used:
*1.5 bunches of branches
*Glass hurricane stem vase, 6 1/2"
*Votives
*Flower petals (buying in bulk)
Again, we are not sure if these will end up on fuchsia or orange tables, but it seems to work well on either!

Centerpiece style #3
Alright this centerpiece has two variations. Sadly I won't know which one we are using until two weeks or so before the wedding (the table set up depends on how many guests - it could be all rounds, it could be all rectangles, or it could be a mix). The plan is the 3 candles on round in a cluster or 5 in a row on the rectagle tables (see pictures below).
For these I used:
*Swirl 4" Glass Candle Holders
*Glass Taper Candle Holders 4"
*Glass Sentry Holders 2.2"
*2x3 White Pillar Candles
*Clear All Purpose Caulk
*Flower petals
Again, we are not sure if these will end up on fuchsia or orange tables, but it seems to work well on either, the big question will be round or rectangle!
99% sure we will be doing petals on the three and/or the five...I was on the fence about the 5 so I pictured both with and without the petals below.

Centerpiece Fail....
The Dollar Tree discontinued the large fluted vases and I had purchased two to mock up centerpieces. I had listened to my mother and fiance to wait and not purchase them - so when we went to purchase said glassware (damn you Dollar Tree!)...surprise I had to rethink my original plan.
They do now carry them again, but I have moved on. So instead we will use these to decorate the bar or guest book table since we have them already. Perhaps somone else might be able to find this of use for decorating for their wedding.
This picture doesn't do justice but this picture is 100% Dollar Tree but here is the break down:
Large fluted vase
White prayer candle
Large candle stick holder
White river rocks:
Caulk to secure the candle stick to the vase
