CenterPiece colors
As we have been throwing around ideas as to what the Wedding party will be wearing. Alot of you had said to keel the "Fall theme" mainly in the decorations!
So what about something like this to bring out the color?

Oh I love that! I want it! 
ETA: but might it be too much with how you want your tables arranged????? Just trying to imagine it..... would you have many or just every other table in the square? hmmmm....

You could do 3 per 6 people... Like this:
Guest ~ centrepiece ~ Guest ~ condiments ~ Guest ~ Centrepiece ~ Guest ~ condiments ~ Guest ~ Centrepiece ~ Guest ~ condiments ~ etc. That would work fine with the horseshoe layout.
And it would keep the costs down & make you tables less cluttered.

Yeah! My mom was the one saying 10!
Were not sure of the size or even what they'll look like and I think that will determine how many will look good on the table!
We definatley don't want clutter!

That was gonna be my next question. Somehow in my mind I am picturing punch bowl sized..... and that might be too much. But if smaller then I think they would be nice....

I think they're beautiful... You wouldn't want anything where the guests couldn't see each other across the table anyway, so I think small to medium would be perfect.

Thats right!
The reason for the table being in the shape it is, is because we want to all see eachother and be able to talk to one anothe through-out the night!

OH! DUH!  I forgot you're having a small wedding and was thinking you meant the head table. Now I see that everyone will be at the horseshoe shaped table, lol. (Long night, sorry!)
In that case I agree with Ann. I would have one every 6th or 7th person. You know it may be something you may be able to play around with once you see it set up too. Make a couple extra and if it's too much, then put one by the cake, or on the gift table, or something like that.

 No worries H!
Yeah, we will make acouple extra, and I know once we decided they would allow us to come in and try it out to see how many we would need!
I can allows by extra and return them if I have bought too many!!! Better to have to much then not enough!

I like it and once you get the chairs laid out you will be able to figure out how many you will need.
Am I thinking right you have the small tables that fit one on each side? So if you put them together one will be at each table?

That's very pretty, I like it a lot.  Also, I don't know if you have a Dollar Tree or something similar like that up there, but if not, I can get you bags of like 50 leaves for $1.00.

Now that I see the other thread I think if you do a centerpiece on each inside corner and then the middle of each section that would look great. Thats 8 in total! If you went with 10 then I would put the extra 2 on the long part of the sections.

yeah, Heather and I talked about how many roughly, I agree!
I would say 8 or 6!
The trouble I KNOW i will have with these is that I will have a REALLY hard time finding a good vase!

You could do the same design with the gold fish style boles, and that would make them even safer if there were any kis there because it'd all be contained.
Here's the medium sized goldfish bowls...

Bring those vases closer the to edge and put a couple fall flowers in side. If you wanted the candle look the add a few candle in between each vase. It's a different look but still looks good. I've went through over 5000 vase on ebay and still cant find the vase you posted. Where did you get that picture from?
