I like the idea but if you just have the candle as shown in the picture i'm afraid it's too small. You probably need to have a cluster of that and some smaller candles, or some tiny vases of flower around, or petals scattered around.

Of course, the color of the sticks would go well, but you might consider that cinnamon is a very strong smelling spice; if you are having any fresh flowers, the cinnamon would probably overpower their fragrance. Also, you don’t want the smell to overpower the smells of the foods you are serving.

However, I have used coffee beans several times at weddings to incorporate the chocolate brown color, and they work very well. Although they too have a fragrance it is much more subtle.

A couple of times I have used uncooked pinto beans as well! I know that sounds crazy but they work!

For either of those ideas, you would fill the vases with the beans and then sit a dish style container on top to hold the flowers.

you could budle up your flowers and then do it like the candle. or you could do roses and have the cinnamon sticks peaking out all over

Comment on Twilight Wedding centerpiece ideas? by african_woman

my sweet sweet darling. i hate to break this to you, but in 10 year’s time, you are going to kick yourself. twilight is going to be cheesy, all your ‘twilight’ wedding photos are going to be cheesy. your friends are going to cringe at what they were wearing, and you are going to wish to death you did things differently.
please my honey, i got married a few months ago, and i kept it as generic as possible. and i still wish i had not done this or that fashionable thing.
remember, what is fashionable today, is tacky and gross tomorrow.
just look at the wedding dresses of the 80’s. soooo grosss today.

dont stress though. you can still pull off the theme. just try not to do like weird vampire-ey makeup or stuff. dont go to emo. emo hair is going to look stupid in a few years time. trust me on that. you dont want your hubby to look like a douche on your wedding photo forever?

keep it classical. keep the twilight theme low-key. like a dream. maybe have big prints of them staring in each other’s eyes as backdrops, in black and white, so even in 20 year’s time, even if you dont know who that is, it will still look romantic and special.
you can even work apples into your decor (as on the cover of the first book). and leaves off forest trees. have glitter in your hair on and on the tables. have the guys use some glitter gel in their hair. not too much though. have your righbeared bring your rings in a cut open apple.
serve red wine or cranberry juice as ‘blood’.
have your makeup a pale palette, wit juicy stained red lips, so it looks vampirish, but not look you are dying, or you are too goth. that’s just tasteless.
on one of the books, there is a lily or something with red in it, use maybe lilies or some white flower with red in it for decor.
you can also have glitter as your confetti. then everybody will sparkle.

the centrepiece for the cake? a small glass or wire silver tree with two red apples on it?

Maybe put them on round mirrors and include some low flower arrangements around them.

Brace yourself for comments addressing the fact that "sophisticated" and "subtle" don’t really go with a Twilight-themed wedding….

I love it when guys get into the ‘wedding spirit.’ You’re lucky he’s giving you ideas and you should appreciate it and incorporate it to your theme. I like the idea the first girl gave you. It looks beautiful.

Here’s a little something to consider as well;

…you’re having a Twilight themed wedding?

Well, each to it’s own I say. But you should send an e-mail to Stephenie Meyer or her brother Seth with some photos afterwards, who knows you might be featured on her website. She does like to support her fans and their actions in promoting/supporting twilight.

Sorry I don’t have an answer for the centerpieces, I just thought you might want to know about the e-mail/website thing

here is something like what you have only with nuts inside:

these included flowers, of course the flowers can be changed to match your colors:

what you can do with the centerpiece you already have is arrange a couple around a bigger floral arrangement. it’s like bringing attention to the flowers with the candles and cinnamon. hope this helped

I’m not really sure what you mean? You got like small micromachine cars? are they 1/18" in size or like 1/18 the size of a real car.

maybe put them on a mirror disk with flowers or pretty pebbles around and flowers in the windows?

ps. wtf is up with the girl thats saying my darling darling and shit like that? ugh. weird
