Help me with my table centrepieces!

Now that the venue has finally been sorted I need to think about decoration of the function room. We'll be having 6 round tables with between 8 - 10 people per table. I have available to use for free fishbowl vases and mirrors for them to sit on but I'm stuck! What else can I do? I don't want to use tonnes of flowers so filling each fishbowl with flowers isn't an option. The tables will have white cloths and the chairs white covers.

I've been scanning Google but can't seem to find anything that catches my eye. Please flash me some inspiration. (no fish please!?)

This is the function room, pretty neutral.

    Here are a few from Pinterest...







    A couple obviously have flowers in but not in a large quantity so you wouldn't need to buy too many ;-)

    Floating candles or what about gel balls? or even fairy lights, short length ones that work off batteries.

    Fairy lights would look wicked. Now is a good time to get them, what with all the Christmas decorations out in the shops - ASDA do the battery ones really cheap, I got some for £2.50! Could you fill each bowl with a bunch of them? The light would reflect off the glass and the mirror plates. It would be so simple but would literally light the tables.

    Hi Penny

    That's fantastic you get the fish bowls for free - save you a ton Smiley smile

    We have champagne sequin table runners for hire - might be a nice backdrop to set the bowls off - especially if you do floating candles!

    SnazzyTrousers - in your experience do the fish bowls hold up ok with candles in them? I'm worried about the glass breaking!? I just saw this online and I love it but as the candle melts the flame would be inside the bowl, would it be ok?
