Centre pieces/table decoration (non floral)

Would it not be cheaper and less faff if you kept to the same colour theme throughout the day and the night?

I was thinking that you don't want staff at the venue getting in people's way changing the table decorations whilst people are sitting there.

If you do go for the white candles, Tesco have white church candles on sale for £1.87 for two - and they are white, not the usual ivory church candles!

We're having them for ours, don't know if we're allowed to light them in the venue but we were going to put a thin band of ribbon around them along with lots of red confetti on the table, so they'll look pretty either way!

i like this kind of idea :

if you go to the second last circle

the plate with the candles and flower, you could have the same flower as you or your bridesmaids are having.

i dont think that many people (well MSE people anyway lol) go for floral decorations now anyway, do they? so many of us seem to be going for candles/sprinkles etc..im not having flowers either to keep costs down..however although ive some idea im not sure yet what i want..venue has said candles are ok...so was thinking scented might be nice xmyx

we have two floors at the same venue, so it will only be changed while everyone is on the other floor watching the wedding, it will be my oh's cousin doing the decor so staffing cost is negligible plus why again i didnt want flowers, if i have something else it can be pre preped and put straight out (hopefully a 5min job)

its gorgous will show it to OH a bit later on, something a bit different again i'd have to put it on a little stand or something to give it some height!
