Thanks for info AKatieGirl! I was deffinatly gonna go with artificials for the centerpieces, but our wedding has taken on a completely different date, year and theme lol. Instead of a 10-9-10 Fall themed wedding, we're now having a 09-4-09 wedding with a pear theme...."the perfect pair" ~ with pears lol. I have to laugh everytime I say that cause it so dorky...but cute. The centerpieces will now be glass bowls of pears with votive candles around it. Simple but sweet. And best of all, the place we're having the wedding (also different from origional plan) has glass bowls I can use. So, that's one less expense for me. Woo-hoo!
