    These are very rough trials of my centerpieces for my April 2012 wedding at a golf course in Washington. Its an outdoor wedding pavillion (large fancy tent). Which centerpiece do you like better for my wedding.  The tall glass vase with 4 roses will cost $7 and the short tin pail with 12 roses will cost $10. I may end up adding more flowers to make them fuller looking, but so far which do you bees prefer?

    tin pail seems more luxurious with all the blooms spilling out

    Out of the two, right now I prefer the one with the tin pail, probably because it is fuller. If it is within your budget, I would make the other one fuller and then put each of them on alternate tables.

    I actually am doing (and am a big fan of) alternating tall and short centerpieces!  Those are both great prices and they are both gorgeous.  Why not alternate them both?

    @katieebee: So cute! Thanks for sharing. Are those flowers immersed in water? Are you going to make them yourself?

    @ratana187: Yes, I'm making them myself!!  FI and I had a very productive weekend and actually bought them yesterday!  They are a bit pricer than the centerpieces you've created, but our guest list is small and we only have a few tables...

    @ratana187: I'm getting married in the Tacoma area too!  I personally like the shorter version of your centerpieces but I'm not sure about the tin pale - have you thought about maybe paiting them?  Might make them look not so rustic, just a thought.

    @Shooozy: That is so wonderful that you are also getting married in the Tacoma area! I have thought about painting them..but not sure what color.  My colors are charcoal and pink, but I do like the metal look, but maybe a more luxurious looking metallic paint would be a better idea.  Tell me about your wedding plans!

    I like the idea of alternating. They're both nice, but if I had to pick just one, I'd go with the pail.

    I like the pail too. But alternating tall and short is a great idea.

    Thanks for the input guys! I super love the pail too...but FI and BM's aren't crazy about them.  I'm thinking I can dress it up a bit. Any ideas are welcome!

    I'm really liking the fullness of the roses in the pail.  Very nice! 

    Have you thought about submerging a rose in the vase, such as this (but, a different shaped vase)?DIY rose centerpieces: Please help me choose! :  wedding roses pink centerpieces diy bucket 393

    P.S. Here is a link that shows how to submerge the rose in the vase. http://www.ehow.com/how_5956673_make-beautiful-submerged-rose-centerpiece.html
