Centrepiece FLASH - What do you honestly think?

Hi, this is what I have decided on for my centrepieces, I purchased the birdcage and added the detailing myself. I was really happy with it, however, I took it down to show my future MIL and her reaction to them has really bothered me. I know deep down that she's just one of those people who are never satisfied with anything, and I was apprehensive about showing them in the first place but really want to keep her involved. I will be having the birdcage on round mirrors (this ine is just off my dressing table to get an idea) and I will be having smaller teal jars with flowers (this was a tester as I tinted it myself).

I guess I just wanted to see what you guys thought, please be honest, all suggestions welcome ?

    Will the teal jar be next to the birdcage? I love the contrast of the jar a d the pink flowers. I'm not sure they go that well together though I'm afraid?

    I think they look nice. Fresh and pretty. I would be tempted to try and incorporate the teal colour somehow onto the birdcage to tie it all in together. Maybe some teal petals or teal ribbon or something. But other than that it looks lovely!

    Thanks for your comments.

    Yes, I plan on having teal jars or vases around the birdcages, not in such close proximity as in this photo though and also will be different style jar as this was just an old pasta one lol. I will also have lace around the jar with pearl detailing.

    I will be having table names on the birdcage so could incorporate some teal there? I'm not 100% satisfied with the teal colour, its a little bit too deep, I want it to look more delicate and sheer

    I think the bird cages are really lovely. Although they are quite tall, you can see through them so this shouldn't obstruct anyone's view across the table.

    I agree with Mini that to have both on the table together would, in my opinion, spoil the look of the cages and be a bit cluttered once people sit down and get the food and drinks on the table. Teal petals or teal coloured candles in the cages or a teal round plate would link everything together and you could possibly put a teal jar of flowers on your cake table..?

    I love the birdcages, they're really pretty. However I'm not a fan of the teal jar with it. Sorry, I just don't think it goes brilliantly. I think the birdcage on it's own is lovely and anything else around it might be a bit much.

    I love the bird cage, really pretty. Looks a wee bit much all together for me I think, but that's just my opinion, you go with what you want Smiley smile
    Flowers are lovely though really like the colour x
