    It's not such a good photo, sorry.. It's a cylinder vase with glass marbles covering a blue floralight with strands of pearls suspended in water.

    The floralights last about 36 hours and have replaceable batteries. (I've tested :D )

    ah thats quite clever.

    Our night do is turning into a bit of a multi coloured rave with glow sticks galore so this might work.

    How about something like this

    But rather than the flower they have used, use coloured pebbles at the bottom with white feathers inside?

    They have colour changing floralights (you need to get submersible) which do red green and blue alternately :D But you can get pink too, let me know if you need a link.

    I've gone with plain blue as it works with my theme (seaside - hence the pearls)
  • I've been looking at these all day (coincidence lol). Anyway ordered :

    I am going to have to pieces of seagrass sprayed pewter diagonal criss-cross over the bowl and a flower (not sure what yet) on top. I have only ordered 1 so I can see what it looks like. It is cheaper when you buy multiples. Also I will order smaller bowls for other tables. The top table would only work out at £15.

    I really like these. Where did you get vases and strands of pearls?

    Thanks franny not to keen on the flowers but i saw the link for the vellum lamshades for wine glasses further down which might come in handy - i have about 100 sheets of pink vellum sitting here doing nothing. Should keep me busy and will made the table look pretty at night.
