I asked about that, not for centerpieces but for extra decor maybe for the bar area..I was going to fill the vase with sliced limes and use the bouquets... they said the technique to do a full centerpiece is not done on site, it's done at the florist, so creating the look I wanted would be hard. I'm still tempted to use them, but fill the vase with clear stones instead or something. For as expensive as they are, they will not be just tossed on a table somewhere!
