I dont love the light in the vase. But otherwise I love it. I don't like (silly) that the light in the vase has blue in it and the light in the candles have a yellow tint.
Oh and I accidentally voted wrong so take one away from the love it as is mentally and put it in the take away the light lol
@ChuckNorris: Agreed.
OP- if you don't mind sharing, how much is your centerpiece? I'm looking at a centerpiece of that size and I totally think my florist is ripping me off.
The flowers themselves look gorgeous but I have to be 100% honest and say I really dislike the light in the vase. I was just at a wedding that was golds and pinks and it was stunning, and inside the vase were these lights and it just totally threw off the whole romantic, dim light ambiance. I think you should add some more candles around the centerpiece if you want a golden glow and ditch the light.
Very stunning!
However,i don't like the light in the vase and there is something about the dark maroon ribbon interwoven that is bothering me. Maybe try a lighter ribbon? Or no ribbon at all and add Hydrangeas?
I definitely don't think it needs MORE...I actually think it's a little overwhelming. But if "alot" is your thing then I definitely think this is it. I wouldn't do any more.
I think I would have to see the venue because it is very large. Also, I dont much care for the light or the flowers in the vase. It just has a lot going on. The flowers are beautiful though.
Gorgeous flowers! I also vote to take out the light from inside the vase...and I'd go a step further and take everything out from inside the vase.
@atlbride2013: we have 20 of those centerpieces, all of the 6 bms and 4 groomsmens flowers, 4 additional corsages, petals for throwing down the aisle, 4 large ceremony flower pieces, one escort card table centerpiece, my bouquet, flowers for the bathroom and flowers for the cake... all for $5500!! and we are in NYC. I thought i got a helluva deal, but let me know if not!
@ChuckNorris: thanks for your reply, I think the candles may not be the same, or maybe i can ask the florsit to match the lights to the ccandles.
@JemmyGee: thanks for your response, its not a ribbon but rather some type of floral leaf?
thanks for all your responses so far!
@Marquise123: Thanks. Good to know. My florist, as I suspected, has completely lost her mind in terms of money. I think you got a great deal!
@Jer72: here is a pic of the venue if it helps - obviously someone else's wedding and flowers :) and it will definitely not be this bright!
I think it is beautiful. I see what you mean by adding a little fluffiness to it though. Maybe you could take out those red leaves and maybe even some of the little pink flowers (bouvardia?) and substitute for hydrangeas. It might make it more expensive though. Just talk to your florist. Even if you leave it, it still looks great and I think you got an awesome deal.
As far as the lights, I agree with everyone else. I made the mistake of buying white floralytes for my centerpieces. I think if you get amber yellow, as it would look nice and more like a candle in the water. Either that or get rid of the lights.
I think it's gorgeous as is!!! I've seen centerpieces like this at weddings before and I think the light in the vase is great.
I think the problem is that it's too few of too many different things. If you had more of the same types of flowers, it would look less overwhelming.
I'm also in the take away the light camp. I don't like how it's so blue, and I don't think you need it.
I think you should do candles around it, and no light. The light is too cool. Everything else is "warm" looking, and the blueish light doesn't fit.
Darker? Can there be warm spotlights on the flowers?
A few varied heights of pillar candles though, to illuminate the vase.
or
I think some warm white Christmas lights woven into the flowers might be pretty. Also with the tea lights would be nice.
I don't know. Just suggestions :P
Maybe like this:
@yanamari: thanks for the photoshopping! I never thought to do that!
thanks everyone else for your responses thus far...
I like it with the pillar candles and think it looks great as is but hydrangenas as you mettioned would look beautiful.
I do agree with most of the other posters that you should go without the lights in the vase. I also wouldn't scatter the rose petals on the table, I think it distracts from the centerpiece and looks kind of messy.
@LMD84: thanks - no rose petals will be scattered - just our florist playing around. lol
I actually disagree with the light comments and feel it would add some pizzazz in that beautiful ,glamorous hall of yours! (maybe like a PP noted though, I think amber would be a better choice of color).
I think you centerpiece is gorg! It's so giant and grand, something I usually see at the welcome table with place cards. I do agree things could be tweaked though.. like to make it "softer", I would def add some hydrangeas in place of a lot of those red flowers.. or add more greenery?
Those centrepieces are insanely pretty, but very OTT. Definitely don't add more! I like it as it is.
One word of caution, however... consider how high that vase will be, and how large the tables will be. If the tables are too small, it could be overwhelming. If the tables are too large then it will block the view of your guests, so that they cannot see the guests at the other side of the table due to the angle at which they are looking at each other in a seated position. I think that weddings are social spaces where people should be able to communicate freely with each other. You don't want your centrepieces to prevent that.
If I was doing a big budget wedding, this is the sort of thing I would have!
Minus the light in the vase, I love it. I like hydrangea, but I really like the way your flowers look as is. The only part of the flowers I would change would be to take out the maroon leaves and add more of those beautiful tiny pinkish-purple flowers, whatever they are.
Thank you all for your suggestions!! I actually think I like the light in it, I think it wont look so blue once we get the right candles and other lighting for the venue. I think I will do some hydrangeas so it looks a little more lush. My venue has very high ceilings, so the tall centerpieces are a must, it is pretty tall, so I think people will be able to see under it to other people across the table.
@Coco_Nina: thank you!!
Im on the fence about the lights in the vase, I do think however the maroon ribbon is a little too much, it reminds me of a flower boquet delivery not so much a table centerpiece. I also like the small candles if you chose no lights in the vase .Good luck

Our florist made us a sample last week and I can't decide if the flowers need something more - hydrangeas maybe? or some other kind of flower to make it more full? Also what do you think about the light inside the vase? I thought since our venue has high ceilings and we are going to have dimmer lighting, it would spotlight the flowers a bit.... Thoughts?? Thanks in advance!! Edit to mention that the candles will not be those candles on the table. There will be candles, but we havent decided exactly what kind yet.
