I've posted pics of the generic table mockup, so you have an idea of what I'm thinking...Here's the deal~ I'm estimating 20 guest tables, and these are the huge 10 person tables so I need a centerpiece that won't get too lost, right? Half the tables will have the 8-10 inch cake on a stand and the plan was to have the square cube vase under to hold the hydrangea and everything. Then the other 10 tables have the giant vases/jars of candy with candles and/or hydrangeas around that. Problem? It's me so of course!
First, I only have around 35 of the squares. This is of course after deciding I wanted to put 3 of these on the tables (or at least the tables with cake). So either there are no flowers on the candy tables or I have to come up with another 30 of those holders which are conveniently no longer sold at the dollar store (cause I checked!)
Enter solution number 1:
A small white vase with Love in purple~ totally perfect and I bought all they had (only 6 of them!) =( Guess where I found these babies? Target, in the dollar aisles of course~ so love them even more! Want to see what I did with it (just a mockup, not complete or anything!):
Remember the paper flowers for the aisle decor at the church?? Well the church may just have to go undecorated cause I don't know if we can make another million of them- which I still haven't finished enough for even the church yet (kindof joking, kindof serious here...the church is really beautiful all on its own...)!! As for the mockup above, I glued a rhinestone in the center and stole a few of Nico's pipe cleaners to use as stems and those were SO easy, they just slide right in the middle with no glue or anything!
So- the question is~ do I use the cube/hydrangea combo for the cake tables or the candy tables and this white vase/paper flower combo for the other? Or is there some awesome idea I am completely missing here that should be done?
Option 2- I have a TON of glass jars and containers for candy, so do I scratch the whole idea of the cakes on the tables and just put candy as all the centerpieces? I'm feeling like if I am mixing and matching the hydrangeas with the paper flowers it might be too much to mix and match the cake/candy also...What do you guys think?? I'm on overload and can't seem to make a decision!!! Also, if you ladies wouldn't mind hitting up your local target for these white vases, I will reimburse and pay shipping and everything if needed!! I would need at least 24 more I think...
As for other news, I had these pics on my camera the night I was playing around with the flowers and just had to share them. This is how Nico terrorizes our poor dog Sophie:
Top picture is Nico's toy that has velcro arms and legs that he wrapped around Sophie and she kept growling at the poor stuffed toy! 2nd picture is Nico putting popcorn on top of Sean's head knowing Sophie would climb on him to get it. Yep, that's popcorn sitting on his head...And Nico wonders why Sophie doesn't like him! =)
But I'm wandering~ back to a few new things that I'm super excited about:
Ordered these for the boys (Connor, Nico, and Zach) with this awesome fabric I found~ if you look close you will see it is a damask print with a rock and roll mixture of guitars and speakers and what not, but thats not even the best part. Look at what's inside
Its got crayons and a pad of paper stashed inside. I almost want one for myself! Think they will like it??
I have a few more pics, but I'm thinking this is long and I really want feedback on the centerpieces and what you guys think, so I'll save the rest for another day =)
Since I'm obsessed with this whole wedding thing, I went to the other Target in town and cleaned them out of the white vases, so I now need only 8 more! Let me know what you find~ I'm not sure if the dollar spot gets restocked! =)
