    To cut down the cost a bit, could you have just a couple on the top table only, probably with white/cream candles and maybe less flowers, and have same candles with flowers and greenery on the guests tables ?

    Sorry if I`m butting in but having arranged 2 weddings for myself and 2 for my daughters, I just love reading about all your preparations. I love weddings - sorry.

    I like it but being boringly practical if you light the candle the birdcage will a) become black b) become VERY hot and c) may not even survive!

    Hi Bigmnomma

    I think it looks quite nice, although how tall is the birdcage above the flowers?

    I understand what some others have said and there's just something not quite right, perhaps it is the colour of the candle.

    I wondered if it was maybe the flowers - perhaps you could use a contrasting colour in the flowers or if you're sticking with the birdcage, change the colour of the flowers? Or how about a contrasting colour of flower in among the cream ones and a matching candle?

    Good luck!

    Sorry but I don't like it. It looks too.....I don't want to sound mean by saying this but I don't know how to say it properly so I'll just say it. It looks very cheap with the wreath. Are you able to take the green out and just leave it the white roses and white bird cage? WHat would that look like? Also what are your colour schemes?
    What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine..
  • I thought it might look better without the birdcage too. Just the flowers and candle. Or instead have flowers winding up through the bars. I've seen that at a wedding fair and it looks really good.
    I noticed your jewellery pics and the necklace is lovely! Is it from somewhere online?
