  It is absolutely OK! There are so many wonderful non-floral options for centerpieces.
  - Candles can be used in a huge variety of ways...on mirrors or in Mason jars for a rustic look just to name a few.
  - Individual cakes or other desserts on stands for each table
  - Items of special significance to the couple (books, collectibles, natural elements)
  - Clear containers of seasonal fruits (citrus, pomegranates, cranberries, etc)

  The sky is the limit. Always remember, it's your wedding and the only rule is that you want your day to reflect who you are as a couple!

  A wedding I did recently had a simple sketch of a tree with bare limbs with a large white border. There were different shades of green rubber stamp ink that guests used to make thumb-print leaves on the tree. We also had markers to sign names on the border. Be sure to have wet wipes on hand! It made for a great frame-able memento!

  I love New Year's Eve weddings! Of course, it depends on each couple and their guests, but I think it can be a fun and meaningful way to kick off the beginning of the year. Most people are looking for a fun and elegant party on New Year's Eve and weddings have those elements and more! My only advice would be to plan early enough in advance so guests can plan on celebrating with you!
