I'm a farm-girl and over the years my mom and I have been collecting flat rocks we see in the field when driving machinery. For the centerpieces at our wedding, my fincee and i are placing different sized pillar candles on the flat rocks. We are then either tying a ribbon around them or laying flowers at the bottom of the candles. This was super cheap cuz the rocks were free and we bought used pillar candles from another couple who used them at their wedding

Hi–I am getting married in September of 2012 and I plan on having photos of me and finace in different size frames, all with little quotes from romantic or quirky movies or books. You can buy white frames and decorate them however. Then on the table between the frames we are going to scatter brown and teal pebbles. Simple, but original.

I love all the ideas flowing for this! I'm also having a flowerless, but very colourful and thematic fun wedding. I'm not very into frills and minute details, but would like to have a fun centrepiece and am leaning towards books, cards, board games with some candles. Though maybe something a little more unified than the random chaos I'm planning so far

I collect teapots, so I decided to stack some old books and place teapots on each stack in the middle of the tables. I love the lanterns though!

You all have such great ideas! Maybe you can help me out.
My fiance and I are getting married end of March 2012. Our reception site is an old bathhouse that is now a museum of contemporary art. So 1920's meets Today. The only color I've decided is blue – but the actual shade is negotiable. Any ideas?! I like flowers but I totally want something different!

I went to a great wedding where instead of table decorations, there were shees of origmai paper and instructions how to make cranes. They asked each guest to make them a crane and write a message for them.

When all the wedding fuss was over they still had the cranes to look forward to, they spent an afternoon unfolding them and enjoying all the messages of love, much better than hearing congrats during the wedding when you're stressed and tired or having to greet a lot of guests.

A friend of mine spray painted some fruit gold and draped it over white ceramic bowls, looked elegant and the white/gold oombo worked well.

We went to a junk/antique shop and bought lots of old mismatched teacups and saucers and stacked them on the tables – in each cup was a candle. The effect was so pretty and everyone commented on it. We kept all the china, somehow all the mismatched cups look better than a set.

Apples sound fun! I want to do vases with lemons & limes…I that it can add some funky fresh scent too =)

Stunning ideas for non-floral centerpieces. My favourite suggestion are sticks beacuse they look so natural.
