I (will soon) have mirrors and fishbowl vases.

Colours are black and white.

What can I do with them?!

    I haven't seen something like this before, very effective - must have looked great when the lights were dimmed.

    Jules.40 they look fab.

    Our centre pieces are exactly like that but its just 1 fish bowl instead of 3 & the candles sit on our mirrors as they a bigger then the ones in your picture. We are having the same colour table crystals aswell.

    Hi Rachel, Our theme is black & white too. We are having black & white feathers in our bowls with fairy lights. I will post a pic tonight as at work just now. What other B&W ideas have you had?

    No ideas on centre pieces really. Am currently thinking a candle (B or W) with the opposite colour pebbles around it in the glass bowls? Will do a mock up once I have all the bits and pieces.

    Otherwise, the men will be in black and white and our flower girls are in white (albeit with a hot pink sash - they're too young for b&w personally...). Our favour boxes are black with white shredded paper in and white ribbon. Chair covers are white with black sashes (I wanted the opposite to this but our venue chairs are apparently a funny size / shape so can only have white covers. Think that's probably about it!

    What else have you come up with? My favour boxes are on here somewhere if you wanted to see them I can hunt the link down?

    I'm having this kinda idea - this is just a mock up and only managed to find 1 gebera which was pink. On the day I'm planning to have fresh flowers - 3 geberas and some bear grass. Although that said, I might be changing my mind and going with some beads/peebles and a candle ?

    That's similar to the effect I'm after Gillsy... But different ?

    Similar mirrors / vases but was thinking along the lines of a candle and pebbles... Maybe a white candle with black pebbles and vice versa?

    Hmm... Will have a play around when I pick the mirrors up from Sarah-Kay next week. Vases will be with me tomorrow
