Favors and Centerpieces

I found these adorable little boxes at the Oriental Trading Company. I just need to figure out what to put into them. The site says that they're 3in; so I'm assuming that that's the length, but I can't be sure for now. I'll probably end up ordering a set at some point soon just so I can play with them and see what all I can and cannot fit in there.



The more I think about it the more indecisive I get. While having pillar candles in glassware looks nice. I am a girl, and I do like flowers. Matt said pirates don't have flowers. I did politely remind him that this wench will have flowers, maybe not a plethor-a. But there will be some. And if I did decide to put flowers on the tables I wouldn't go hog wild with huge arrangements. I'd just want a few flowers in pretty little containers.

For a moment you have to imagine that the sea shells and things are gold coins. But this is what I'd been thinking of doing with red and black candles.



The style centerpiece we go with would change the way the table numbers are displayed slightly. But rest assured I've got it all covered ; ).

Centerpieces

The more I think about the tables, the more upset I get. I don't want them to look like a 7 year olds birthday party. But we are encouraging people to dress up if they so choose. Because what would a Pirate Wedding be without a few scoundrels and scalawags? I mean honestly!

I wanted votives with sand and little pirate-esque things in the sand around the candles. But after watching Bridezillas [terrible I know], I'm starting to dig the big pillars in hurricane type glasses. She put too much crap in the glasses in my humble opinion. But that's her choice at her Wedding.

I wanted the tables to be fun. I wanted to put plastic swords and eye patches around the place settings. I wanted terribly large shiny rings. But now I'm afraid that it might look too juvenile.

DAMN ME AND MY DESIRE FOR FUN!
