PS - thanks Lemon for the inspiration to complete this centerpiece!!!! You're blog on your centerpieces, it changed my life! And saved my check book! 
I think it looks great! I'd like to see a picture of it lit with the lights dimmed...that might give a much better sense of how it will look at your reception. A few small pink crystals sprinkled between the candles might look nice as well.
I'm really thinking of doing something like this for our centerpieces, too, so I love seeing the examples! : )
If you want to incorporate pink, I think the pink crystals will be hidden by the darkness of the blue charger. You could try tying pink ribbons around the candles or if you really want to make use of the pink crystals, sprinkle them on the table around the charger and not on the charger. Your centerpiece is really cute, simple and contemporary, I likey!
Just so none of you think I'm color blind...lol - the charger is black. Haha when Hans said it was blue I went "Man they must thing I'm nuts, blue charger, black table cloth pink crystals...LOL"
So you can take that off the list of psoobile mental and issues I have :-)
hahah hilarious!
actually, i don't think you're colorblind. i really did think it was blue and i'm partial to that (incorrect) color scheme because my wedding colors are blue (aqua), pink (fuschia), white (ivory), champagne and gold.
sweeney2be,
go to walmart and check out the wedding section. They have clear crystals that look like uncut diamonds. Place them around the candles. When the candles are lit, you will gasp with their beauty! If walmart is out, try Michael.
Trust me on this!
i think a few petals sprinkled around it would be pretty.....but not sure if that fits in with the simple design you are going for.....
i'm partial to the petals.....planning on doing them with my candle centerpieces as well.
I'm curious about the three empty votives. Will those have candles in them on the big day? If not, I would fill those with the pink crystals.
you could try adding some pink sand or something of the like into the votives perhaps to have an addition of pink.
if you want to incorporate pink - instead of the white candles, why dont you use pink wax beads (not a pink candle but the little beads) and stick a wick in it and call it a day ;) ;) :)???
I'd say you could give rid of 3 of the votives and it will still look full and add something pink. I like the pink crystal idea in with the votives. maybe sand but you would have to play with it.
Otherwise the chargers look cool and the overall display looks simple and clean. I think color will add wow - and you'll be good to go.

I'm thinking of doing something like this but with some garden roses in water tubes at the bottom tucked into the spaces between the glasses. just a few...
I think it does need a little something more. The crystals are a nice idea.
If you want, opposed to rose petals, you can also get a couple of small orchid blossoms to put on the charger plate. There's quite a few on each branch that you can just pull off, so it shouldn't be too costly.
I agree- there must be some pops of pink in there... be it ribbons tied around the candle vessels, little pink gems *think post v-day clearance!* or floral petals scattered around and maybe even float (submerge) a few in the water of the vases... That would be totally cute and oh-so chic. Try a couple different options and take pics and we'll VOTE on it!!!!!!!!!!

OKay gals, I'm back you missed me and you know it...lol.
Here;s my centerpiec in all it's glory on the pool table, or as I've dubbed it "The Home Wedding Storage Facility" or HWSF for short.
Try not to mind the terrible photos. I swear they won't look lopsided on the tables, they do fit rather nicely in that charger....
So here's my question:
Does it need anything?
The charger sparkles and it's a nice sparkle. They will be sitting on black table cloths but bunching up tulle or setting it on cloth is out of the question because it looks tacky and not "Sweeney-ish" (FH vetoed it before I even finished setting it up...)
Should I fill the center holder with pink crystals to incorporate the pink of the theme in? Leave it as is? Sprinkle something on table around the charger? Leave framed 8x10's of me with an autograph in the corner, 'XOXO Sweeney', to beautify the tables...lol - kidding! 8x10's are much too big!!! I'd do 5x7's hahahahahahaha!
I like things simple, so what do you think? - THANKS!
