Fruit/Flower Wedding Centerpiece

My fiance and I are paying for our wedding and didn't want to drop loads of coin on some fancy centerpiece. Although, we do have a taste for design. Her favorite color is green and she likes whispy lines. So we decided to go with a fruit/flower theme. We have a budget so we picked some flowers that didn't cost as much.

I love combinations of citrus and flowers. They're very fresh and young. Pompom mums and shasta daisies (also a mum) give a lot of bang for their buck. Plus they're personal favorites of mine for any occasion. I also like gerbera daisies in small doses which is exactly what you've done. What size tables are you using for your reception?

Thanks. She really likes the combination too. Honestly, she picked out all of the flowers. I don't know anything about them. The tables are 60inch

Well, you can keep the names in the old memory bank should you need to order them or call around for prices.  ;)

My only concern would be that the size of the table might dwarf the arrangement.  If you can do a test run on a table with plates and chairs, give it a go and adjust if necessary.  You can add another vase or some more lemons, limes, rocks, etc.

Good Idea! I didn't think of testing it out on a set table.
