Fishbowl or Thin Vase Centrepieces

I had tall, thin vases with orchids out the top. I had clear, crystal accent gel to look like ice inside, then floraltyes at the bottom. These are little, waterproof lights that come in plain or different colours to light up the gel. Dont have a pic of my actual centrepieces, but these might give you an idea:

Thank you Teal. That's helpful I will suggest floraltyes to my florist and crystal accent gel. So far we've talked about having the coloured beads but think the gel would be better!

Are you hiring the vases ? Only reason I mention it is that you can cut the cost substantially by using opaque vases rather than clear which means you don't have the fill them with anything. Black tall thin vases are the most popular as these go with most colour schemes. Here's some I've done:-

Yorkshire brides may recognise Tankersley Manor, Barnsley and the Royal Victoria Hotel in Bradford.

I really dont like tall centrepieces as I think that they obscure the view of the top table and make conversation challenging. Also think that fishbowls look so much more sophisticated.

Thanks for your help guys! Had my consultation and ended up spending another £100!

I've decided I really don't like the tall thin vases. Fishbowls I like but I like walking into the empty room and seeing flowers on the table that stand out.

This is my actual venue room all set up in my colours with centrepieces like mine
