Your opinions, please...

As you may know, I'm getting married in 133 days.  My budget is limited, and the guest list keeps growing.  That means I need to make some cuts, and so far one of the easiest areas to cut out is flowers, but I don't want to have barren tables.

So even though this is a shopping blog and not for wedding planning, please humor me, and let me know if this is a terrible idea.

So far my tables will use the free linen at my venue (black with white overlay) and then an apple green runner that I purchased for $2.60 each at efavormart.com


My original plan was to have a low arrangement of white hydrangeas in the center along with white candles in square glass votives.   Like this (pretend there are votives around it):


However, my thought it that I can make the candles the star of the table to save money, and only include a very small floral element.  Glass vases of all sizes are free at my venue, and I could use floating candles at different levels for some interest and then place a very small arrangement amongst the vases. 


Do you think that will look ok?  By doing the second option, I won't be using a florist for any of the table decorations and can buy hydrangeas in bulk and then clip the stems and place 1-2 in the 5 inch square vases.  Obviously I'll need to do a trial run, but I'm pretty sure that this is my new plan.

Whatcha think?
