Floating Candles
Nothing says romance quite like a gorgeous, candlelit dinner. These floating candle centerpieces are incredibly easy to put together and, even better, they’re also inexpensive. All you need are glass vases (depending on the look you want, you can also use drinking glasses), water, your flowers of choice and floating candles.You can also add rocks, shells or marbles to the bottom of the vase for a more textured look. Purchase floating candles at Yankee Candle or online, but if you’re feeling very handy you can also make them yourself using inexpensive candles found at The Dollar Tree.

This is a basic, beautiful idea that looks as elegant as you want it to. Wine glasses are classy, and they range from small and dainty to grand and elaborate. To create the candleholder, the wine glasses are placed upside down with the candles sitting atop the bases. Inside the glass cup of the upside down wine glass, you can personalize this centerpiece to match your theme. Flowers, seashells, special heirlooms and other items can be used as additional decoration in the wine glass candleholders.
There are plenty of options when it comes to using photographs to customize your centerpieces. Opt to put the photos in mason jars with olive oil to create sepia-toned photograph centerpieces.You can also choose three photos to frame, position the three in a triangular setup on the table and put a candle in the middle for a pretty, glowing effect.
Embroidery Hoops
Embroidery hoops bring a sweet, old-fashioned feel to your wedding, and they can be used a number of different ways. If you or someone you know is handy with a needle, you can actually embroider a pretty pattern or the table number to use as the centerpiece. If not, the hoops can be paired with flowers, ribbons or antique heirloom-style decorations to complete the vintage look. They can also be hung above the tables chandelier-style, with flowers and other décor attached to them.
