What about filling a few of the vases with cranberries? I love the direction you are heading with the greenery. It’s so unique, don’t give it up yet! Definitely go with the candles. They sound absolutely perfect for the venue. I think the greenery would work better with the candles than the flower centerpieces would. Too many elements otherwise.

We used cranberries- but we floated them in water in a shallow, clear vase with some candles, instead of filling a whole vase with the berries. I liked the effect just as well.

And I didn’t know anything about flowers going in, other than I wanted to carry white roses like my mom and grandmom had in their weddings. I wanted to incorporate fringed tulips and monkey tails into my bouquets and the boutonnieres, too, to give it a more whimsical look, but the tulips were not in season, and my florist said the monkey tails didn’t last, they’d be shriveled up by the end of the night. I kinda still wish I had pushed for them, anyway. Oh well. No one will ever notice except me.

Are you sure those are cranberries? I thought that they were at first as well, but those are too dark to be fresh cranberries IMO. I don’t know what they are if they aren’t, but they don’t look red enough for me. I thought maybe they were red grapes. I love the centerpiece though!
I have a big problem picking colors as well. I also have a problem picking just one or two ideas!!

You are absolutely not alone! I had no problems deciding on the location, photographer or cake, but the colors, flowers and decoration, well, depending on the day you ask I’ll give you a different answer! People think I am crazy to care so much about these details, but I think they are what makes the event unique.
