I need help brainstorming centerpiece ideas (preferably DIY and inexpensive) that will go with this lovely cake we are using as inspiration for our reception decor (I'm making a similar cake topper with faux pearl hat pin toppers)>> see picture below.

Any ideas??

How about candlabras sitting on some kind of gold, (like a sheer, textural, soft rose gold, think Martha Steart, not the 80's) fabric, which would have pearls nestled on it, (otherwise, they would roll and that would be dangerous...)

Or, favor centerpices in matching colors, a la Martha.... hope that helps!

I love that picture! Gorgeous and vintage. ^_^

I know it's a very literal take from the picture, but have you considered using teapots and assorted china as vases as a sort of eclectic, shabby chic vibe? You could pop in romantic mixed flowers (like wildflowers, roses, Queen Anne's lace, chamomile flowers, ranunculus, etc...) in pink, white and yellow purchased from the flower market (or home grown if you're ambitious [my coworker did this, so it's not entirely crazy]).

Or, for something crisper, I think this cake would work really well with centerpieces of large groups of candles in vases of varying heights. The first couple images from this search are particularly nice, I think: http://images.google.com/images?q=centerpiece+candles&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=gFoVS_DBAo_gMbaqnKkG&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCUQsAQwAA

@Jenny> I love the candles pics google shot back. I particularly like this one, but instead of rocks and a black/gray tray, faux pearl beads in the bottom, in glass?  

i also like the teapots-as-vases idea.  thanks all for the suggestions.  This is helping me tremendously!

@dallastxbride: do you have a picture of it?
