(this would have the long branches with orange and yellow gerber daisies)

its a fall theme, any other ideas would be great:)

Answer 1

1st is great but then i saw the 2nd and i fell in love with it

Answer 2

i love the pumpkin. i'm planning on having a fall wedding and my centerpiece is going to be a pumpkin hollowed out with a bouquet of flowers on the inside

Answer 3

Oh my goodness! They are both beautiful, but I'd go with the pumkin.

You could alternate between the jack-o-lantern and this one: http://images.marthastewart.com/images/c...

Answer 4

Hmm, I think it will depend on your reception and how fancy it is or relaxed, etc.

I'm kind of partial to the branches centerpieces, just because that's what we're doing. We're having our reception in a hall with floor to ceiling windows, overlooking wooded areas, so we wanted to bring nature to us in the room with branches. So for us, it was very fitting and reflected the look we were going for.

However, the pumpkin idea is really cute, but I would pair it with other flowers so it doesn't look like you're throwing a Halloween party. You could hollow out a pumpkin and put the flowers in it (kind of like a vase), or even use the hollowed pumpkin as a candle-holder with flowers all around it:

But yeah, I still prefer the branches, personally :) But it's what YOU prefer and what the feeling of your wedding is.

Answer 5

the second one is amazing!!!  but you could use the 1st one as your centerpiece for your head table.  good luck

Answer 6

If you used a more wildflower-looking flower than Gerbera daisies, I think it would look fantastic.  Otherwise, go with the pumpkins.  Or if you plan on having dim lighting during the reception, absolutely go with the pumpkins.  The glow would be stunning!

Answer 7

the branches look gorgeous as centerpieces.

Answer 8

I think it depends what feel youd like. The second is more elegant. The pumokin is actually really pretty but might also lend itself to a halloweeny feel, and if that isnt what youre going for, dont use it.

Answer 9

the second one

Answer 10

I like 2, but one would be unique, especially if each table had a different pumpkin design:) You could even roast the pumpkin seeds and give them as a favor. Yum.

Answer 11

both are gorgoues

Answer 12

I love the pumpkin idea because it is unique and different but still elegant.

Answer 13

do both... mix the center pieces, one on some tables and the other on the others... they don't all have to be the same!

Answer 14

Definitley THE PUMPKIN!

Answer 15

love the pumkin but you wont see the carving on the other side of the table.  Id do teh second one for the guest talbes and te pumpkins with yours and his initilas on the head table

Answer 16

the first one, its really fun.

Answer 17

I REALLY like the pumpkin!! It's so unique. The second one is great too, but I'd go w/ the pumpkin. I think it will be a great icebreaker for those sitting at the same table who may not know each other very well...

Good luck:*)

Answer 18

The first one because it's beautiful and unique!

Answer 19

I definitely love the second one more. It is much more elegant and wedding appropriate. The pumpkin is unique, but it is much more halloween-ish than wedding, especially with the candles (jack-o-lantern!). I do like the pumpkin idea though, so I would recommend trying to use pumpkins somewhere else - the entrance to the reception, or on the sides of the head table, or maybe even as centerpieces for the buffet table or by the punch table.

Happy planning!

Answer 20

The pumpkin

Answer 21

I really like the pumpkin. It is unique. I think it also depends on the feel of your wedding. Good Luck.

Answer 22

The branches for sure

Answer 23

I love the second one.  I hate the idea of a pumpkin in the middle of the table, I just don't think it would look classy.

Answer 24

I love the Pumpkin one!! Very creative

Answer 25

I definatly like the second one.

Answer 26

I thought the second choice was more elegant.

Answer 27

Those are both wonderful ideas!!!! You have wonderful taste! I would do the pumpkin that is too cute! I love the way it looks, you could always put he flower petals around the pumpkins to incorporate both ideas. I hope you have a wonderful wedding, congrats!!!

Answer 28

The pumpkin!!!  That is really different and your guest would absolutely love it!!!

Answer 29

The second one is beautiful, and FAR MORE elegant! Don't even doubt it. The pumpkin is kind of... tacky, and i don't mean that in an offensive way, but the other one is really really wedding-y ! Good luck I'd love to help if you need anything else.

Answer 30

the second one!! ALOT more! but they are both really cute!

Answer 31

I would go with the second one.  I agree with a previous poster to use the pumpkin on the head table.  If you put it on the other tables, not all the people around the table will be able to see the design on the front.
