    I need your help. I've bought a whole bunch of christmas ornaments (on super sale after the holidays) and want to make centerpieces out of them for my December wedding.

    I'm torn between two options - either putting them in a bowl, or making wreaths out of them.

    I'm going to surrond the centerpieces with voltive candles.

    Which looks best?

    OPTION 1: In a Bowl

    OPTION 2: in a wreath

    I think the bowl is better for centerpieces, but I would make some wreaths for the back of the Bride & Groom's chairs

    I think they'd look cool in tall and medium height cylinders as a centerpeice. Maybe wreaths on the doors of your reception entrance?

    this is such a cool idea. i agree with both knudsonwedding and dressexpress! i saw something like this in the cb2 catalog where they piled a bunch of them in a cylinder and it looked so chic. i do love the idea of the wreaths on the back of the chairs though!

    bowl, bowl, and bowl.  I love it.  It's more subtle and not too over-the-top "holiday spirit"

    I vote bowl as well. It's unique. What fabulous color and contrast!

    I love the bowl. And it really makes it dramatic and beautiful that they are all the same color.

    Thanks for your help so far!!

    I don't think I explained it properly though. I didn't actually make these centerpeices in the pictures - they are the ones I am using for inspiration.

    Mine will consist of blue and silver ornaments.

    Does this alter anyone's choice? (It looks like the bowl idea is clearly winning!)

    I think the bowl is best for a centerpiece.
