Top table decorations........help

Ladies I am in dire need of some inspiration...

Our table arrangements are looking good, we're having crystal trees BUT the aren't going to be suitable for our top table so I'm lookin for inspiration for what to have.

So far we have some wooden Mr and Mrs letters which have been sprayed silver and have diamate and pearls around the edging but I feel we need something to go at the other ends on the table and the mr and mrs will be in front of myself and OH.

I've looked and looked and cant place my finger on anything that would tie in with the trees does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance u lovely bunch. Only 50 days to go :eek:

Any chance of some pictures of the crystal trees please? Can't think of anything off the top of my head, and knowing exactly what it is to go with might help with the inspiration!

Could you have a couple of low decorations that have crystals trailing down the front of the top table. This way they wouldn't block your view of the reception but would add intterest to the front of the table. Bit like trailing plants.
Some nice ideas here.. http://www.angelsinteriors.co.uk/table_decorations.html which you could adapt.

You could paint/spray some fine twigs white then trail crystals and whiye lights round them, twinkling lights would add to the sparkle

Instead of having something at the ends of the table, could you have a swag/garland draped across the front? Sorry, can't find a picture at the mo - think mantelpiece Christmas decoration but with crystals and wire instead of ivy and baubles, and with maybe some ribbon to make it stand out a bit. It would also leave a bit more space on the table for more important things like food and wine

Thank you ladies for your ideas, Im loving them all...and to the person who sent me a PM to note they thought my table decs look tacky here's an idea, grow some! - If you havent got anything constructive to say dont PM me, keep it to yourself, most users on here are so helpful but its the few like you who make me pull the kinda face you get when you eat sour pickles.
