Centerpieces

Found this article from the Martha stewart web site. Excellent ideas for center pieces.

A round mirror (you can buy packs from Ikea) placed in the center, small vase of roses/flowers and then place the tea light candles arond the flowers. The reflection becomes a pool of light.

There are 50 to look at. Excellent for those doing the catering themselves.

some lovely center pieces there love the one with just favour boxes , we are planning to have just a candle with rose on and our favours around so the favours will be the center pieces , ( well hopefully lol)

Sounds lovely. I actually thought the bottles with the big table numbers on was a novel idea. Also the frosted glasses with candles in. You can buy cheep plain glasses, spray them with etching spray (from B&Q I think) through a doily for the lace effect. Perfect!!

I liked the one with the laced candles, but my fave was the 3 vases with roses. Not cheap though.....
I liked the favour boxes too, but then you'd need something else as well, as once these were taken, which could be within a minute, it would look bare, and you'd need something for the evening anyway.

We had dried flowers (a bit like pot pourri) sprinkled over the tables which added a bit of colour and tea lights.
