I'm getting married June 2012 and am just starting to get my head around decision making! I've always loved balloons, and really want a balloon arch at my wedding but in my mind this means I should have balloon centrepieces to stop it looking fussy. However I have fallen in love with the idea of a simple gerbera flower arrangement!
What are peoples opinions/experiences on/with centrepieces? Need to get my head around it :D

Personally I would choose ballons (thats what I'm having) but then again I get cronic hay fever and would spend my entire time sneezing at flowers lol! Am having silk boquets u could have balloons coming from flower arrangements maybe ?
If you like both, go for both, that's what I'm doing, because I couldn't make up my mind, what I wanted. xx

I couldnt decide whether to have balloons either! Could you attach them to the centrepiece in some way? I am having white birdcages and saw some gorgeous black and white damask balloons and thought of having them tied to the cage. I have table runners and petals and stuff to use too so I'm not sure if I would be over doing it? Could you do something similar or is both too much?

I love the idea of having half one and half the other! We're having candelabra which I've already agreed, but I love the idea of having both. My friend had balloons as her which were lovely, I do love fresh flowers too but again, i've got hayfever so it'd set me right off lol x

I prefer flowers, as i used to be a balloon decorator i refuse to pay what they charge which is a right rip off, makes me so angry at times wish now i hadn't given up !!
My biggest dream is to marry my Best Friend and I can't wait

CommentAuthorRoxy
For me personally I like flowers but that's just me :)
CommentAuthorChrissy~MrsFaulds2b
I'm having Gerbera flowers in tall lily vases with other bits of greenery etc and then they will double up as centrepeices for the evening as they will have lights in them. You can't beat fresh flowers especially at weddings x x
CommentAuthorKat
I was going to suggest the same idea as soon to be mrs mann but she beat me to it!
CommentAuthorTinsel
Flowers for me. I don't really like balloons as I'm always worried about the popping!

CommentAuthorjo2013
i was going to have balloons coming out of my fishbowls and hiding the weights under waterbeads then having flowers on top of the beads but ive finally made my mind up just having bowls without balloons but then ive got along time to go so who knows i will probably change my mind again
CommentAuthorsharon
Have both the balloons coming out of the flowers I bet they would look lovely xx
CommentAuthorMrsC

CommentAuthorkimmy

CommentAuthorFaye x
Im having both. The venue provide the balloons for all the tables with the package were getting but i really wanted flowers so am making small flower arrangements with wooden roses aswell :) x x x x
CommentAuthorEnny
i think both could work quite well :) defo should use low flower arrangements though xx
CommentAuthorKinkyemo
Both :-)
CommentAuthorclive
i take it you're not having kids at your wedding then?:o))
CommentAuthorabbylsharpe
thank you everyone, very much lost track of this post but in my absence have decided on both (as most of you suggested!). Going to disguise the weights with a small arrangement of pink (silk due to hayfever) gerberas. and yes i'm having kids at my wedding as i have 4 myself lol
CommentAuthorlinzi
defo flowers. I dont really like balloons as wedding centrepieces, balloons say more childs party or christening to me. and they always look at bit bare at the bottom on the table.
I don’t repeat gossip so listen very carefully!!

Gerberas all the way, but I'm biased because thats what we're having!
CommentAuthorWifey2be
i am having gerberas too :) i will have balloons but not on the tables :) xx
CommentAuthorrebeccalou21
I vote flowers xx
CommentAuthorFuture Mrs Henderson
H2B and i aren't huge flower lovers so we are going for balloons and even better we have a friend with a balloon business. They done our balloons for our engagement and didn't charge us a penny but have told H2B to contact thm and find out how much it would be for wedding balloons. We will be having top table flowers thou as our venue provide every couple marrying there with top table flowers as a gift. I like the option of both flowers and balloons though xx
