Cranberry Centerpiece Ideas

I am getting married on September 4th, and my colors are Cranberry, Black and Ivory. I thought about using cranberries for my centerpieces, but I am having a hard time finding what I like. Do you have any ideas?

I am trying to stay away from fresh cranberries, because I would like to have the centerpieces delivered to the reception venue ahead of time so that we don't have to worry about it on the big day.

Thank you!

what about candles surrounded cranberries inside mason jars?

I love the look of cranberries! And they're pretty sustainable even if you use fresh ones. :)

What are you looking to use them for?  As vase fillers? Just remember if you put them in water they will float.

Here are some options:

Thank you ladies! I really like the candles in the jars and the cranberries surrounding it. Maybe I will consider this! I am trying to go very simple, but elegant!

This is absolutely gorgeous!!

I just saw this post and I know it is a little older but I have a collection of cranberry centerpiece pics because that is what we are doing for our December wedding that I thought might provide some inspiration.

I can not remember where I found all these pics to give credit.  I have been saving cranberry pictures for a while.

Thanks Haggart! I think we have decided to use tall vases filled with cranberries half way, with a candle on half of the tables, and the other tables will have the same vases with a few fresh red roses, since those are my flowers. Both will be surrounded by votives. We don't want to the room to get too hot from all the candles.

 I love this with the holly though! Oo, it would be so pretty for Christmas!

I'm getting married in October and I'm doing the same thing.  We are using cranberries to fill the vases so people won't see the stems.  If you do use fresh cranberries, are you expecting your florist to pick up the cranberries or are you getting them yourself?  I think I'm getting them myself, but just not sure where I'm going to get them from - Ocean Spray maybe?  I'm def using fresh cranberries though.  We froze some and then defrosted them and they held up really nice for over a week.  When I priced out fake cranberries, it seemed really expensive for the amount I was going to need.  I think Pottery Barn had some fake ones.  I'm also going to have small votives with cranberries surrounding the small candle with a ribbon around the votive holder.  Here are some inspiration pics that I've picked up...
