Flash me your centerpieces... I need inspiration!

We had fish bowls too as I don't like big centrepieces.

Here are a few with Orange Callas:

This was ours:

These will be mine ?

Wow they are gorgeous! Are those lava lamps at the base? I want something tall for my centre pieces and was toying with the idea of feathers....?

Im just hiring them so to be honest so i dont really no ? ... I thought id have something tall because my venue has high ceilings so just to add abit of height to the tables.

I was debating those or the tall martini glasses those look lovely too.

It is gel in the actual vase with a floralyte Eriser base. You can use floralytes like this in base:

These are mine, I love willow and we can keep/give it away afterwards for home decor as it lasts.

I'm doing my own. They will be lanterns such as these with hearts hanging from the handle:

I'm then going to make wreaths to put round the outside of the base of the lantern. A bit like this but probably neater:

These were ours, and they had a floralyte in them which we switched on in the evening:

Thank you! No I had it all done for us. Originally we were having orchids but couldn't get them in the colour! I'm so pleased with these though, gerberas are so striking. Lots of people commented that they were a nice change to candelabras' too.

No worries! I'm thinking of tall ones for the same reason ?

Thanks Sherrie H I didn't know that so really useful. Thanks again ?

I LOVE the sweets idea! i was going to put sweets in small jars on the table with each person having a small sweet bag to fill.

were these just for decoration or did you and your guests eat the sweets in them? EDIT - Just seen the little scoops in them! x

Jojo - i love the twisted willow. This is what we are hoping to have. Could I be cheeky and ask where you bought yours from? x

Here's a few I've done - ignore the colours thou9gh!

You can buy the gel & floralytes on Ebay easily enough. 1 pkt is enough to do 2 vases if you are using Martini vases. if you use the Lily vases then you can do at least 5 with one packet. To get the bubble effect just fill the bottom and then add watter to it so it is not so dense. Make sure the opening of the vase is big enough to take the floralyte though as some lily vases narrow on the neck & they won't go into the vase.

Here are a few more using the gel & light:

and a few other ideas:

There are 100's of pics in here:

Greenbean my florist is doing my willow centrepieces and then she will attach orchids to it. I know you can buy the willow in bulk but hopefully some of the HIBS will be able to tell you the best place to source it ?

These were ours

These were ours for the main tables:

And we had 3 of these along top table

xx

It's so hard to pick as there's so many possibilities to choose from! I had a practise run with my florist just to see different ways of doing the flowers, I have no imagination otherwise!

I'm *probably* having jugs of flowers like this:

This one is a rough mock-up I did with my florist recently but it shows the natrual way I'd like the flowers to be!

Good luck picking your centrepieces!

I'm thinking about the idea of a few gerberas in a tall vase on each, and then some little roses on the top table, like MrsJenLakrin's post x
