This is another idea...I think these could be very pretty. I would use a red rose in the bottoms of the cylinders.
I am now thinking of going in a different direction for our centerpieces. I should preface the description and photos of the centerpiece ideas with a brief description of the look/style/atmosphere of our reception location (or at least what we hope it will be). The reception is being held at a bed and breakfast that is very traditional in its style and decor. I don't want to do anything to detract from the natural beauty of the house, but I do want to make it more romantic and elegant. The house is very traditionally Southern, with a large wrap-around front porch on the bottom level and a matching wrap-around balcony on the second level. The food (we are doing heavy hors d'oeuvres) will be set up inside the house, buffet style. The back of the house is where the bar area will be as well as the music/dancing area.
Rather than set up large, "sit-down" tables, we are going to have several cocktail tables set up around the house. We will have some in the back, some on the front porch and some on the balcony. Our hope is that guests will explore the house as they mingle with each other and enjoy the food and beverages provided.
Because the tables are rather small, I don't want large centerpieces. I just want them to be simple, elegant and romantic. I also want a lot of candles around to set a romantic atmosphere.
This picture is of one idea of a centerpiece. I would do solid colors, rather than a mixture (probably red), and wouldn't put petals around the vase. I would, however, have candles around the vase.
