Any Centerpiece Ideas?

A while back I mentioned the invitation I painted for a Young Life fundraiser.

Here is my painting - before the words were added........

Now we need ideas for the centerpieces for each table.  Since this is a fundraiser, we are obviously trying to keep the costs down.  The themes are "growth" and "establishing deeper roots" in the community. 

Any ideas? 

I would love-love-love any links, or photos, or ideas. 

I am well-aware that I am about to "eat crow" after making fun of the centerpiece in yesterday's post. 

(Southern Living)

That centerpiece would actually fit our theme, very well.  But where would I find apple-laden branches?

I also saw this cute idea in Country Living.....

So, Growth and Roots .

I would love to hear your creative ideas!!!!

Thank you!
