A not-quite-as-procuctive-as-lucy day (with pics)

Well done you....Not as productive as Lucy, but the pics give you an edge!! Love the arrangements, I prefer the Calla style ones as opposed to the stargazer style ones. I think its fine to have a mix of Cream and Red, but I'd keep them all the same type flower.

Gorgeous dining table!

I'd personally have the callas and NO TEALIGHTS. Then in the evening PUT OUT the candles.

I'm having my candles in the evening as there wont be any centre pieces in the evening..

They look great! Well done you!

I actually like the candle look as well... x

They look lovely... I would sitck to just callas in the 2 colours in seperate vases.

Tea lights just for the night

Thanks, only had it a few weeks.

Am I right in remembering your centre pieces form part of youy buffet in the evening?

I'm wandering whether it's worth actually lighting them in the day (the room is very light anyway) and just lighting them in the evening.

One or two of the cake stands can be used for the wedding cake at night, yes....

and i have candle holders which are glass in an ornate holder, to hold votives. I dont see the point of candles in a summer wedding but didint want to leave the tables bare.

Thanks Nicki - I'll tell him I was right!

Ooooh, I think they look lovely! Really simple and sophisticated!

I'm having something very similar but putting floralytes in the botton of the vases and gel beads. Means the vase will light up without the actual light being seen as the gel beads will cover it. Then I'm scattering table diamonds on the mirror.

I don't like naked flames on the tables because I just have a fear over someone getting burnt ( I work next to a Health and Safety team!).

Sarah did you see my wedding ring thread. I think you wanted to see what my solitaire looked like with a plain band?

I do have some of the bead soaking as we speak type with the dea to try a floralyte but I think the vases are too thin for one to get to the bottom, how wide is your lyte?

I missed that, off to search now....

We (women) are always right... lol He will learn ?

The floralytes are roughly an inch wide

HTH

Bugger you will be right as my vases are tall so a bit thicker. Not seen the floralytes in person yet so don't know about sizes. x

How tall are they? mine are 50cm, and are very thin in the middle, couldn't fit more than 3 calla stems in them. I might just buy one floralyte to see if it will fit as it's about an inch but very dificult to measure inside!

They look really lovely. I agree with others and would just stick to the calla lillies. I think red in one vase and cream in another vase on alternating tables would look nice. Will you be arranging them yourself for the wedding? I think the cream one in the photo looks really well arranged.

Do you mind me asking where you got the mirrors and vases from and where they expensive?

That I don't know as the venue are arranging everything but maybe 30" high at least but now I look at your vases again the ones I'll have are much wider as more flowers go into the vase. They are really tall as the venue has amazing high ceilings.

No, I already have to be up and ready for the hair dresser at 6.30am on the day, wouldn't have time to do them myself on the day and there is nother wedding the night before so can't do it then.

I bought the vases and mirrors from www.weddingmall.co.uk, I looked around a lot and these were about the cheapest I could find i the sizes I wanted. Plus there was free delivery too as I bought so many.

I've ordered a floralyte anyway, no harm in trying.

The ball thingies have now soaked up all the water, but it looks a bit like bubble wrap!? will try the smaller ones to see if they look any better!

Thanks Sarah-Kay will check out that site.

up and ready for the hairdresser at 6.30am.... ouch thats early!

I know ☹️

The Bms will be arguing amonst themselves as to who gets to lie in until 7.30 ?

I albsolutely love them!...the simplicity of them really makes them stand out, I would only go for the teal lights at night, the base looks fine on its own for during the day ?
