Unusual centre piece ideas?

Please help! I can't find any centre piece ideas that I like. We were originally going for goldfish as we met on plenty of fish but I'm worrying that will be too much hassle! We have the gold fish bowls already so any way we can use those would be great. Our wedding is next October and we want to take advantage of the autumn. We aren't really big on flowers but the bouquets will be red, orange and gold roses. The favours will be toffee apples and the overall theme is candle light and romance I guess. The reception is at Upwaltham barns but we aren't going for a vintage theme which seems to be quite popular at the moment. There will be candles on the tables so I don't really want them for the centre piece. I've looked on Pinterest but I don't really understand how to use it, haha! Please help, I think I am being really picky!

    I'm also glad you decided against goldfish. I know you say you aren't big on flowers, but how about something like this, but with autumn fruit (like apples) or pine cones or something instead of the flowers?

    I'm glad I've decided against the fish too now! I wouldn't want to offend anyone. I'm an animal lover would hate to think I was harming them. I was so excited about keeping them afterwards and I'd already had names picked!

    I like the idea of pumpkins but I don't want it to turn into a Halloween themed wedding. I have nothing against them it's just that we are getting married a week before. I've had a look at gold pumpkins and they could work. I also really like the idea of fir comes. We are going to collect twigs and bundle them together with string and pop a name card in them so this would fit really well. I think I will have to buy some pumpkins this year and try to get some ideas :-)

    Those centre pieces are lovely. I'm just worried that I won't have enough time to decorate them before the wedding. I obviously can't get them too long before the wedding. This whole wedding planning is hard!!

    Non cruel fish ideas Smiley smile

    anything can go in a goldfish bowl... the simpler is usually better, why not try sand with starfish ornaments or pebbles with a single flower
