the spheric shape of hydrangeas overwhelms the shape and simplicity of the vase, so i'm vetoing the hydrangeas as centerpieces unless we had clear square vases, but those are $3 a piece just to rent. i'm the type of girl that would much rather receive a single flower over a big bouquet. that is why i want one of these simplistic looks. i love the look of blackberry branches:

i've purchased a huge box full of these flowers:

the mums would match the bridesmaid bouquets but i'd have to pay for them.

this is a rose i picked from the garden today. each table will have two bottles of wine on it - we could accompany them with empty wine bottles with one flower in each...but i still like the simple look of the small white vase.

I'd go with the blackberry stems, if I were you. They are classy and very minimalist, while still incorporating a sense of romance and nature.
