    Fi and i are having a huge reception tent, in which our reception will be held under.  We will have mostly long tables, i'm stuck at what to do for decor and centerpieces.  I'm going to have paper lanterns hanging throughout the roof of the tent.  I was thikning have white lights with tuquoise tuule over it for part of the head table decor.  Our colors are turquoise, black and white.  Does anyone else have some cool centerpieces that are not expensive and easy to make? 

    Any suggestions and pictures would be wonderful.  Thank you!

    Are you wanted flowers in the centerpieces? Candles? Branches? Feathers? There are lots of ways you could go...just give us a little more insight into the feel/theme of your wedding.

    If you want to bring more turquoise into your decor than just the tulle you could uplight the tent in turquoise.

    I would like lots of candles, and i would like some flowers.  I'm really open to any suggestions, this is basically the only major decision that we have left.  Our flowers are white roses and white daisies if that helps.  thank you : )

    Ok, what about an arrangement of white daises and roses in a vase with turquoise tinted water? Then you could have an array of white and turquoise candles. If you're using long, rectangular tables I would say maybe 2 floral arrangements per table if your budget can allow and then scatter TONS of candles throughout. Make sure to get UNSCENTED candles though. You don't want an overwhleming vanilla scent in your tent. Unless you do, then more power to you. You could use a black runner to get some black in there. I would also look for some black candleholders in a variety or shapes and sizes to add some height and dimension to your table. Depending on if you want everything matchy matchy or not you could use a variety of vases in different shapes and sizes as well. You could look for some turquoise colored crystals (try Michaels) or beads add put wire on them and incorporate them into the flowers to break up all the white.

     

    Hopefully there's something in there to give you some inspiration to work with.

    I've seen many photos of long tables with lots of candles and tiny bunches of flowers going down the center of the tables.  To keep costs down, maybe you could have the white rose be the center flower surrounded by the white daisies.  BTW-www.smartyhadaparty has turquoise tulle 6" x 25 yards for $3.00 each

    What about using sunken roses or the daisys in a glass jar with a floating candle? You could use turquoise stones or crystals in the bottom and like eeh2010 mentioned you could use a black table runner to encorporate black into the decor.

    You should look into filling glass vases (tall cylinder kind) with water and add a couple of drops of blue food coloring and top it off with white floating voltive candels.  You could aslo submerge long stemmed flowers into the cyclinders.  I hope this helps out!

    Have you heard of crystal soil or water beads? They are colored balls that you can put in vases of flowers so you don't have to use water. I saw them at Joann's last week. They come in all different colors. You could fill vases with light blue ones and then put bouquets of daisies in them. I think they would look really pretty!
