    I'm DIY-ing my entire wedding. I mocked up this centerpiece but I'm not sold on it. It needs something but I have been staring at it for about 2 hours now and I'm drawing a blank. Please help! Theme: rustic, country, simple yet elegant, colors- red and orange, flowers- gerbera daisies

    I like the color scheme and the rustic vibe. I would put a ribbon around the main centerpiece and I would leave it off the candles.

    @gingerly1983:  I like your mock-up.  I also think that I would put a ribbon around the main centerpiece - like a thick 1 1/2 inch ribbon.

    I think you need some dark green leaves at the bottom instead of the orange ones. It would give it a richer look.

    I would scale back the twine on the flower arrangement. Maybe only half as much. Otherwise, I think it looks AMAZING! Well done. :)

    To me it looks a bit top heavy, and the flowers placed a bit too close together for gerberas.

    Are they silk or real? Are you planning on using silk or real?

    Would you consider using more than one vase?

    Here's a pic showing 3 smaller arrangements clustered together

    I think you could still use all orange, and brick red gerberas but in  a less structured way.

    I love it ! I love the colors, and the twine. I agree with others who say to remove the ribbon for the cadles and just ad a thicker ribbon to the vase ! You did an awesome job !

    I absolutely love it, and I love the twine, it really fits in with your theme so I wouldn't take it off. Maybe, instead of tying the ribbons in a bow, just hot glue the ends down so it looks less busy and more polished???

    I think it's too cute, and fits your theme perfectly. I do agree with the other posts about the ribbon. take it off the candles, and add one to the vase. Otherwise, it's great. Well done!!!!!!!

    I love this except I don't love the gap of space between the top of the vase and the bottom of the flowers.  The vase needs to be taller or the stems should be shorter.  I would also add a ribbon to the big vase.

    I love it! Personally i would add some rustic branches, wheat, monkeytails, or cattails in between the flowers to add some dimensions. Or maybe intermix the centerpieces you've made with taller centerpieces of the more rustic items. Heres some inspiration!    need some centerpiece feedback bees!! :  wedding daisies red orange centerpiece diy mason jar Monkeytailsneed some centerpiece feedback bees!! :  wedding daisies red orange centerpiece diy mason jar Wedneed some centerpiece feedback bees!! :  wedding daisies red orange centerpiece diy mason jar Centerpieceneed some centerpiece feedback bees!! :  wedding daisies red orange centerpiece diy mason jar Sticks.

    I think it looks great, but to me, what's "missing" is a touch of green. Maybe some green leaves around the bottom...

    Love it, but maybe a piece of burlap wrapped around it instead of twine?
