Wedding Centerpieces that Steal the Show
Tall stemmed candle holders make the perfect wedding centerpiece because they are ever so versatile. Graceful and simple, tall stemmed candle holders are a stable for wedding centerpiece decorations. One can dress them up for grand gala weddings or keep it casual and laid back for rustic weddings. They can act as vases for the main centerpieces or as complementing accents to the centerpiece. For a grand wedding or gala event, one can use long stem candle holders as vases in alternating heights to present extravagant floral arrangements. This wedding decoration arrangement would be especially charming for long rectangular dinner tables. The high and low in heights create a natural movement that enhances the dynamics of the wedding centerpiece decoration. Beside the tall floral arrangements, one can add short stem candle holders with floating candles and tea light candles as votives to add softness to the ambience.

All white or all fuchsia orchids shown in the photo below beautifully demonstrate the simple yet elegant arrangement. For the tallest stemmed candle holder shown in the photo, one can use GFC104/24 or GFC105/24 which have a height of 24 inches; 5 and 6 inch opening, respectively. For the floating candles beside the centerpieces, one can choose from stem candle holders GFC121/12, GFC121/14, or GFC121/16, which have shorter candle “cups” of 4 inch diameter and 12, 14, and 16 inch overall heights, respectively. For the shorter votive candle holders, one can choose from GCH011/04, GCH011/05, GCH011/06, or GCH011/08, which have an opening of 2½ inch (fits standard tea lights) and 3¾, 5, 6¼, and 8 inch heights, respectively.
