Unusual centre piece ideas?

Omg have pumpkins. You could carve lovehearts and fishes out of them if u wanted! Could stick a candle or a suprise inside or something :-)

Oooo talking pumpkins. Just seen this posted on my fb. So maybe little pumpkins and fir cones ??? Not my colour scheme but think it looks fab

I'm also glad you decided against goldfish. I know you say you aren't big on flowers, but how about something like this, but with autumn fruit (like apples) or pine cones or something instead of the flowers?

I'm glad I've decided against the fish too now! I wouldn't want to offend anyone. I'm an animal lover would hate to think I was harming them. I was so excited about keeping them afterwards and I'd already had names picked!

I like the idea of pumpkins but I don't want it to turn into a Halloween themed wedding. I have nothing against them it's just that we are getting married a week before. I've had a look at gold pumpkins and they could work. I also really like the idea of fir comes. We are going to collect twigs and bundle them together with string and pop a name card in them so this would fit really well. I think I will have to buy some pumpkins this year and try to get some ideas :-)

I'm having these. I get married on Halloween but wanted to avoid anything too halloweeny.

Those centre pieces are lovely. I'm just worried that I won't have enough time to decorate them before the wedding. I obviously can't get them too long before the wedding. This whole wedding planning is hard!!

Non cruel fish ideas

anything can go in a goldfish bowl... the simpler is usually better, why not try sand with starfish ornaments or pebbles with a single flower

Stupid phone won't let me show you these all together, so here we go one msg at a time!

These were our centrepieces, oil lamps with oil you can dye to fit in with your theme

Sorry for the massive flash but I came across these and thought they looked beaut. Hope it helps with you're ideas!

Wow! There are some lovely ideas here. Thank you so much!xx
