Yου dont need tο υѕе fresh flowers. Hοwеνеr I Ɩіkе tһаt уου һаνе ѕοmе elements frοm nature, tһаt wіƖƖ give уουr centerpieces life, аחԁ tһе same feeling οf саƖm wе ɡеt frοm flowers.
Aחԁ yes, іt іѕ ԁеfіחіtеƖу wedding-y enough. Check out Martha Stewart οr ѕοmе οtһеr publications аחԁ уου wіƖƖ see lots οf non-floral centerpieces really taking center stage. Tһеrе аrе ѕοmе very creative іԁеаѕ out tһеrе. Mу οחƖу advise wουƖԁ bе dont incorporate tοο many items, otherwise іt сουƖԁ еחԁ up looking tοο random аחԁ unfocused. Jυѕt keep іt simple аחԁ thoughtful. Gοοԁ luck.

How about a bowl with floating candles and brown and green rocks/marbles at the bottom? That might look really nice =] Find out what you want by trial and error…you don’t want to do it on your wedding day and say Oh my God that’s hideous!!
Hope this helped =]

My answer to you is absolutely! It is totally fine to not have flowered centre pieces. The arrangement you described sounded exciting, elegant and unique. It will be beautiful. At my wedding, the centre pieces were helium balloons with candles. Just go with your heart and how your vision things should be.
I have been to tons of weddings that have shy away from the floral centerpieces and that have looked awesome! Especially since you are having a winter wedding, flowers are not going to look as good as the ornaments ands and pines cones. Those things are more winter-y looking than flowers.
Congrats on the wedding and I hope you have the greatest of times.
i really like your idea with the candles and pine cones.
you don’t need to have expensive flowers for it to look beautiful. i’m having candles and silk rose petals. 
I didn’t use fresh flowers and the last two weddings I went to – besides my own – didn’t use flowers for the centerpieces either.
One used lemons & limes in glass containers, the other used floating candles in a wide bowl. I had candles in a giant margarita glass container.
Flowers are expensive and I got a cheap quote of $ 20 per centerpiece for renting a glass vase & having 2 roses floating in it — multiply that by 15 tables and its ridiculous. I spent less and have been able to sell my stuff through craigslist and recoup some of the money I spent.
I think it is definitely ok to not have fresh flowers! My fiancee and i are getting married next December and we are not using fresh flowers at all except for the boquets and a few arrangements for the actual ceremony. Below are links to some pics that might give you some ideas. (They may not be your colors, but they are just for inspiration) Hope this helps!
