I need help finding a centerpiece idea for my wedding... our colors are fuschia and orange?

We are not allowed to have candles at the reception, so I'm thinking more of a floral arrangement. I'm planning on silk flowers and something inexpensive, and something I can make myself. Anyone have any ideas??

I need help finding a centerpiece idea for my wedding... our colors are fuschia and orange?
What about a pretty vase... Im picturing one that looks like a big cyllindrical glass with halved oranges in water that you've added some red food coloring to make the water look fushia?


Maybe it sounds better in my head, but I would experiment with something like that.
Reply:my cousins had a wedding a few years ago where the centrepieces were tiny pumpkins that had been hollowed out, and had an arrangement of flowers in them, kind of using the pumpkins as a vase-type base. they looked quite spectacular, so you could look at something like that.
Reply:The below links are a few fushia and orange centerpiece ideas. Hope this helps.

Reply:what about.... large fish bowls filled with water and lilly pads
Reply:how about a tall, clear vases with oranges and lemon grass in side. it's very simple and elegent not to mention you could let the guest take the oranges home with them. lay sone greenery around the vase to add.


good luck.
Reply:have you thought about battery operated candles? they are tealight sized and you could place them in votive holders that match your colors.





clear, cylindrical vases - fill w/ tulle or greenery, mixed in w/ ribbon pieces and loose flowers that match your colors. great way to use up any odds and ends from favors and other decorations.
Reply:A fish bowl with fuschia colored glass beads and goldfish. It has your colors and your centerpiece moves! Plus, people can take the fish home (bowl and all) with them after the wedding.





We did this at our wedding. We had a glass mirror down, got small decorative bowls (from Dollar Tree), put lavender and silver bead in the bottom (our colors) and put a beta in the bowl. We did have candles, but it was just two votive candles around the bowl. It looked awesome and people loved the fish. I bought 22 fish and only ended up taking 4 home with me! :)
Reply:I'm having on each table a glass bowl with floating candles and a betta fish. Nix the candles - maybe a flower instead? Mix and match with fish - lots of fish are orange-colored, especially goldfish and bettas.

Many orchids have fuschia in them. ( even silk ones) find some that have the fuschia and put them and small oranges or tangerines in clear vases. If you place them in just right, the flowers would hide the full whole oranges, yet the colors would be great together. You can get clear vases at the dollar store!
Reply:My friend had similar colors for her wedding and she used gerber daisies, they were beautiful. I'm sure you can get both those colors in silks.
Reply:Another way to add drama to your centerpieces is battery operated candles - comes in all sizes, from pillars to tea lights. Fushia and orange stargazer lillies are gorgeous.


Gerber daises are very pretty especially in hand tied bouquets. Roses of course, but in certain months they are


really expensive (Feb. May and June)





Watch for the sales for the silk flowers or they can be very expensive.





Good luck
