I am starting to have second thoughts about my centerpieces. The venue provides various shaped glass vases for centerpieces, and I planned to do something like the picture but the more I look at the picture the less i’m sure of it. It may be because it’s not completely set up. Since I don’t get the vases till the day of, I tried to do a quick mock up in store with a similar vase. I am having a winterwonderland wedding and will have royal blue runners on a white tablecloth with the vase set up in the center and 4 small votive candles around it. Do you guys think these will look nice once they are fixed up (glass beads on bottom, green stems invisible)? I would be open to any ideas incorporating the silver twigs and blue poinsettias since I already bought them.

MissIsa: how big are your tables? That has a lot to do with your centerpiece. I like it but if you have a 8-10 person round table it may look small.

The tables will be seating 8 each but are made to seat 10 people. Could I add something at the base to make them look bigger?

MissIsa: Is there a slightly bigger (wider) vase you can use? with that and spreading out the branches in the glass beads that will help make fuller looking. Maybe setting them on a charger or something like that then the votes around the charger.

I personally like them but if you want give the illusion to adding more with a smaller price tag …. you know those round mirror disc/flat plates they sell in floral section of dollar store or hobby lobby get one big enough for all your candles and vase the reflection of the candles will add a magical glowing look while also adding volume

This is an actual picture of their vase which I think is wider.

I think for a larger table it may look small. Is there any way you can do 3 per table? That would definitely make it large enough without looking like too much!

MissIsa: I think your centerpiece is nice but it may look small for larger table. So, you can decorate the vases with small golden LED lights, beads and for the bottom of the vases with a small mirror. So that, it gives an illusion like it is wide.
Another tip suggested to me by my wedding planners in chennai was to decorate candle with some beads and flowers, so that it even makes the corner of the tabe completely beautiful. I have enclosed below a picture of my wedding floral candle. I hope this will help you out.

I like the idea, but is there a way you could make it not so tall and widen it out? Put the centerpiece on your dining room table and have someone sit across from you. Can you see their face, or is the centerpiece in the way? I would frost the bottom of the glass where the green stems are and then lay the twigs around it. You can trim them so some of them stick up and it will look artsy and nice. Does that make any sense?

MissIsa: Can I ask what’s the (approximate) height and diameter of the vases you’ve shown? I think the branches are slightly too tall because from the picture, they look like they’re overpowering the pointsettias a bit.
Also, I’m assuming you’re trimming the stems of the pointsettias prior to arrangement? Otherwise you’ll still see the stems with beads at the bottom.
