Table centerpieces- need advice!

Snich

They look beautiful. Hurrah for those table mirrors!

Another option is table runners - come in a million different colours. I'm prob using these but in pink:

Why not use them aswel or just get one to try it


I really like these ideas now, how something that could be very plain can be changed completely with a mirror and a very personal touch. Well done you!:beer:

i was going to put that in my last post about table runners, i have seen a nice sage colour one on ebay but the ones i saw were 99p each with £4 postage each no discount, was going to keep an eye out for them i think that would be the prefect final touch.

I am so pleased with the feedback as i am usually rubbish at this stuff:rotfl:



ETA: Snitch just checked your ebay link and noticed price (should have looked before i posted! Doh!! ) thats a good price for them so defo think i will be getting them.

Do you know anyone with a sewing machine??? If so see if you can find material in the colour of you choice, cut to size and hem

Hiya, can I ask where you got your mirrors from? I've got the tea light holders but can only find really expensive mirrors.

home bargains, there was a thread on here saying about them and i went to get them straight away. dont know if they will still have them though

chelbel1981 , my gran has a sewing maching and was a seamstress but she cant use it anymore since a shoulder replacement (she is 86 bless) but i am sure if i get the fabric she can help me so good idea again thanks;) My OH's gran also has a machine so if i am stuck i can turn to her:j

thought i would update this!! I got some table runners from the seller snich linked me too but not the lime green colour got the sage green. I bought table crystals too which were lovely but still not 100% right. I have a few bags of silver table confetti (small discs like from a hole punch) which i got from the competitions section so free!!
heres the finished product:


Thanks to everyone for the advice its been great.. think the total for 12 tables is just about £60 :T pity were only having 8 tables:o thought i was having 10 so got 2 spares just incase.
