After my last post on flowers, I figured it might be a good idea to look at some real flower alternatives.

Centerpieces no longer even have to be flower related, in fact what about candles. While there are hundreds of different options I'm going to focus on candles in this one, simply because I think it's such a neat idea!

The one to the left is especially cool and unique, what a way to bring light into a room. And who doesn't look good illuminated by candlelight, am I right?

And with this option at only 25.00 for each, you could easily have an average priced centerpiece alternative. I especially love the hanging crystals and the vintage-y look!

Mrs. Lemon's centerpieces on the Weddingbee blog, can also offer some great inspiration.
