ITEMS YOU WILL NEED: You will need to buy enough tall cylinder vases for all of your reception tables. The vases should be about 10 to 14 inches tall and slender. Next you will need long stem flowers. The flowers should match your wedding flowers; however, the flowers used for this centerpiece would work better if they were artificial. So if you can find artificial flowers that are the same kind as your wedding flowers and are the same color as well, by all means use them for this. If you cannot find any, then you could use real flowers, but remember that they will not be in water and it will not take them long to wilt in this centerpiece. Finally, you need bags of large white conversation Valentine's hearts. You will need enough of these to fill all of your vases completely to the top.

START MAKING YOUR VALENTINE'S CENTERPIECE: The first step to making your Valentine's theme centerpiece is to fill your tall cylinder vases with the large white conversation hearts. You should fill the vases all the way to the top with the hearts. Next, simply stick the long stems of your flowers all the way down into the vases, until the buds are resting right on top of the vase and conversation hearts. You may need to trim your stems to get them all the way down into the vases. Arrange the flowers so that they look pretty. You could tie a white ribbon around the top of the vase if you would like.

That's all it takes to make this simple Valentine themed centerpiece for your weddng reception tables. Your guests will think that these centerpieces are simply beautiful and elegant looking, they will probably even think that a professional made them. They will also love the fact that they can indulge in the candy.
