Do you have any creative centerpiece ideas for a wedding reception to be held in the afternoon (inside) which doesn’t include floral arrangements, because they’re too expensive. Candles are wonderful but I’m not sure they’d be right for a daytime wedding.

Hi and congratulations:
Personally, I love flowers and they are not that expensive if you buy them wholesale. Here are two sites:
http://www.growersbox.com/
http://www.rosesource.com/
I’m not sure where you are located, but the above wholesalers only ship to the U.S…..sorry. But if you are in the U.S., I highly recommend checking them out. I used rosesource for my son’s wedding and can vouch for their service.
Without flowers you can still do a variety of things, such as:
~ What about stacking favor boxes on a cake pedestal? Here is a link with a picture:

~ Sugared fruit always makes a beautiful centerpiece and is easy to do.
~ Another idea: Have your parents, family and friends make copies of their wedding photos and put them in nice frames to use as centerpieces. Your guests can enjoy the look of weddings past – especially with parents and grandparents’ wedding photos.
~ You can still do candles even though it’s daytime. I think candles are nice anytime. Perhaps something with a floating candle? This site has lots of ideas:

Good luck!
