Centrepiece challange! whos up 4 it?

naomiowen, 14 July, 2010 at 14:48 Posted on Planning 0 13

Right, well after changing my mind about 50 times (no kidding) i HAVE to pick by the end of the week but i have a tall order.............................

we cant have candles

we think tall wont work as its not a very formal 'do'

we would still like to be able to incorparate lights(floralytes?)#

our theme is burgundy, ivory & gold & butterflies

and if any flower then roses

this was the only thing i could come up with (obv wrong petals) but not 100% sure


but i still think it doesnt quite 'fit'

this is the hall


and the tables are rectangular...............

i think thats it?

o and our budget is a max £14 per table??????????lol

?

    Are your tables long or round? as that will change the dimensions of the centre piece?

    Maybe it needs a mirrored plate if thats achieveable in the budget?

    Are you able to light the candles? Lighted candles, rose petals and mirrors look gorgeous together in my opinion.

    I have the budget for a mirror plate for the middle one but then it might look silly with the other 2 not having one?

    In stead of petal in the vases why not get some whole sale roses?

    i think they look fab have the roses scattered then heads of roses in the vase and it will be cheaper if you get the roses yourself

    i can get some wholesale roses for you cant remeber where you are getting married so if ur in my area lol then give me an email xx

    you could still use them in the square, glass vases in your first photo. i think that has the perfect shape for rectangle tables, depending on th length, maybe with 2 or three with the scattered petals in between or one bigger one in the middle!?

    I think thats lovely! You could go for a bigger glass vase if you wanted to keep the cost down, but do the same thing in the inside, and maybe go for a mirror plate under?

    What you have done is fab tho!! I think its lovely!!
