So… Originally I wanted to have huge flower bouquets as centerpieces.  Very classic…Very classy. But then, I started to explore outside the box. What other types of centerpieces could I have that would weave into my old Hollywood theme? I turned to my trusty companion- google, and I began the hunt!

I came across these ostrich feather bouquets.  Gorrrgggeous.  Very glamorous.  I wouldn’t mind doing these but there are a few problems. The first of which is that they are hard to find.  Most likely I would have to order them online without getting to see them first…which means you can’t guarantee the quality of the feathers you receive.   Also, I’ve seen some ostrich feather bouquets very poorly done.  It could be a hit or miss.   And lastly, if I do these bouquets I can’t wear my feather wrap with my dress because that would just be no bueno. I vote for the wrap.  These ostrich feathers are beautiful..but I am just not quite sure if they are worth it.   What I MAY do is not use these ostrich feathers for centerpieces but just as decor for door entrances. At least that way I can still have them. What do you think?

So…the search continued. Googling and googling my merry way until I stumbled upon these crystal candelabras.  I really do loves these.  Glamor much? These are very unique and I haven’t found many weddings that have done this idea. With these centerpieces I would probably alternate the candelabras and some flower bouquets. A room FULL of these would just be too much.  These centerpieces would really create a romantic feel too with the lit candles. So far I’m leaning towards this idea. But I need to sleep on it some. What do you think?

I know.. it’s a mess. I’ll have to do some super major thinking and planning to pull all of this together. Right now it’s really scattered (as I am scatter brained)…and the whole idea isn’t meshing well.  More on this when I solidify the plan.

Opinions please! I need them.
