    So we are starting to look at Centerpieces.  I really think I like the taller ones!  Any opinions on the ones I have found samples of? I attached a pictures of the hall we are using (its at a country club/golf course)

    This is our hall - Andover Country Club (Andover, MA)

    I really like centerpiece #4.  It is very tall, like you like but it has a simplicity about it that won't distract guests from being able to talk to eachother across the table!

    Oh wow they are all beautiful but I have to agree with Miss Bliss that #4 is my favorite, and yes it would be easier to see the guests across the table.

    This may be strange, but I hate the smell of Lilly's (not calalilys-the normal ones).  I know many people feel the same way.

    My sister had Lilly's all over her wedding and it almost killed me.  I couldn't even eat my meal, the smell was so overwhelming.  The florist even told her she would use the less fragrent kind.  I can't imagine what it would have been like if she used the fragrent ones!

    I hope to have the vases at least 24" tall (so all these would be that height) so that seeing across the table wont be a problem.  Centerpieces (Attempt 2) :  wedding centerpieces Icon Biggrin

    I think the styles of each picture is influenceing peoples votes. I like two, minus the bow.

    Image 4 is calla lilies, and I agree with lilbird, the star faced lilies have a strong smell, personally I can't be around them either. Calla lilies (4) don't have that strong odor, but are very expensive.

    Personally I LOVE Number 1, I like how it is more "rounded" and fuller then the others :)

    Hi, I'm a local (Salem) and have been to a number of functions at the Andover Country Club -- its a wonderful venue!  If it was closer to my ceremony location I'd have considered it myself.  Anyways, I vote for #1 - I think it would be the best fit for the space.  But they're all gorgeous...

    I love #1! Definitely do not use #3 - that vase is so wide for a tall centerpiece, and I can already see guests becoming annoyed with it.

    Thanks! I was thinking the same thing about 3! but it is clear so it might not be as bad as the picture makes it look.  Though also, I'm not stuck on all the vases in the images cause I would have to find it somewhere haha.  So I'm more looking at the actual flowers!
