what do you think of this centrepiece?

found these on Confetti.com considering a black and white theme and thought these would look nice, they are 40cm tall and 14cm wide and come in around £10 each once i've applied the discount codes i've found, has anyone else ordered from confetti and what is the quality of their goods?

    They look nice.
    Personally I'm not so keen on the black colour, but if that suits your colour scheme then that's all good :)

    I like them. They would look great on a mirror plate with some tea lights and scatter crystals. I think £10 is a very good price, I don't like you could make them for that much less. I'd be tempted to buy some of that glitter spray and add some glitteryness ( my new word for the day) to the roses.

    I agree they could use a little bling...little funerally on their own, but would look nice as part of a theme...

    i see what you mean about the black, i'm not totally convinced myself yet i'm torn between ivory and black or ivory and green theme it depends on which bridesmaid dresses i go for, the two i have ordered have links below feel free to share your opinions no matter how brutal lol

    i know the second dress only has a little green in it but i don't want to go with too much purple

    I like both dresses although I prefer the second flowery ones. They are lovely and summery while the black ones, are well black dresses. Nice black dresses and I'm sure the bridesmaids could wear them again but not oh those dresses are gorgeous. They are less than half the price of the purplely ones though, so that is a consideration.

    Personally I'd go with the sage green theme with the flowery dresses, I noticed on confetti.com that they have the same trees in green. Also have seen lovely sage green hand ties silk roses in dunelm mills for £4.99.

    thank you i'm swaying towards green myself now, i just hope the dresses suit my bridesmaids as they are still a bargain at £100 i think compared to bridal shop prices, and the gents can wear the grey suits i have seen with a sage green tie and maybe a purple button hole, oh i do love it when a plan comes together.

    I don't think it helps that the model wearing the black ones just looks really uncomfortable...I'm really surprised those were the best photos they could put up to sell the things...
  • Absolutely love the purple dress am quite tempted to buy it for myself- but I must save money if I have any hope of getting married!
