Steampunk -Centerpieces and stuff

I was thinking that I could get a variety of clocks from antique and secondhand stores -working or not and use those as the main part of my table centerpieces with some vines and flowers interwoven.

I think I may try my hand at recreating some inventions with lots of gears and steam capabilities -but I'm not going to make it my only plan :)

This seems like a simple enough diy project for the place cards.

Cape Cod - Flowers and Centerpieces

This is completely different then what I was originally thinking for my bouquet but it's perfect. Made from frangipani it's supposed to be very delicate and the flowers bruise easily.

I love hydrangeas so it only makes sense that my bridesmaids will carry them.

Centerpieces for the ceremony were tough because nothing I found looked quite right. I just wanted to keep things simple because the beach is a very laid back place and some fancy overdone centerpieces would feel out of place. I'm not sure if this is the kind of vase I would use but I love the color of the candle and the small about of sand and shells that were added.

Not So Vintage Peacock - 'Flowers' and Favors

'Flowers' and Flowers:

I love this button and felt bouquet by RBK Creations. Obviously I'd need to have it adjusted from a beach theme to my garden/peacock theme but I think the fact that it uses button and cloth makes it feel more vintage. Make sure to check out this Etsy seller!

This listing is for 1 Bride Embroidred Felt and button Bouquet of 20 stems, 1 Groom Boutonniere(felt and buttons or just buttons) , 3 Bridesmaid Embroidered Felt and Button Bouquets of 12 stems each and 3 matching Boutonnieres (felt and buttons or just buttons)for the groomsmen and 1 Toss Bouquet 7 Stems in the colors of YOUR choice. $355.00

I want to save the real flowers for my centerpieces. I love hydrangeas and really want to bring the outdoor garden into my indoor reception.

Favors:

I think that everyone hopes that their wedding favors will be appreciated, these seem like a good idea because it's easy to plant a few seeds. If they grow, it will be pretty and everyone should try to make the world more beautiful instead of just contributing to the waste. These favors are supposed to be 'green' and that's important to me and my theme for this wedding.

These favors are from plantamemory.com

They are customizable with the couples' name and date. ($1.79 each for 100+ or $1.99 each for 20-90)

New Spain - Tables and Gifts

I want something simple for my table centerpieces. I was thinking of an iron candle holder like this one:

Three Tier Candle Holder from Something for the wicked.co.uk

with pillar candles:

These are actually flameless wax candles from Select2together.com

I can't forget my search for gold theme:

Lake Champlain Chocolates Bulk Chocolate Coins in milk chocolate with copper foil.

170 pieces cost $65.00 and since I want to have them on all the tables, I'd have to buy a few bags.

Favors:

I originally wanted to give everyone a live red cactus and have some extra sprinkled through the reception area.

However I started to think that it might be difficult for people to travel home (on planes) with a cactus plant... Then I saw these:

Cactus candles at the Christmas Tree Shop for $1.00 each. They come in two different shades and two different styles. I like how they're a little different and small (easy to travel home with,) however like everything at this store when you see it you have to buy it or it probably won't be there on your next trip.
