I am really not sure which tall centerpiece we like more.  What are your thoughts of things that would work?  I do not mind dropping the votives off to the office.  I do have to get all the old candles out so it might take me a few days to do all that. What days are good days to drop them off?  I would have to drop them off after I leave work one day. 

Hi Stephanie and Bart,

By votives I'm assuming you are talking about votive 'holders' and I think that's great! I would use no less than 3 per table and preferrably 5 to place around the centerpieces. Again I assume they're around 2"- 3" tall. If you don't have enough we can supplement with some of ours. I'd like to see a pic or perhaps you can drop them off. Or... I'm not sure where you live but I come down 83 to work so we could also meet and I could bring them to work for you if that would make it easier.

Both of the tall centerpieces you've shown here are beautiful though very different. It's easy enough to omit the twigs in the first one but tell me what you like about the second. Is it the vase, the Bells of Ireland (tall green flower) and which do you prefer?

candles

I know we havent discussed finalized table decor.  Kristin just gave me a ton of votives that have been used in all the families weddings.  If we find  a use i have tons!

tall centerpiece ideas

Bart and I sat down and looked for some ideas of tall centerpieces.  Let me know your thoughts: 

Bart likes the height of this one but he doesnt want twigs inside. (I like the twigs) but maybe this is a place where we can incorporate crystals or something shiny.  Bart also mentioned that he likes things that dangle down from the centerpieces. 

I will look for more soon! Hope you are staying warm in all this snow!

Thanks Stephanie

Thanks Stephanie.

I should have some new stuff for you to look at next week or so.

crystals

I really like the first two ways that the crystals are used.  I also think the crystals in the corsages is a nice touch.  You come up with such great ideas!

Bouquet Crystals

Hi Stephanie. On the centerpiece sample, you didn’t mistype, I misread. (Oops) The centerpiece sample will stay as it is.

For the MOH bouquet we can make that slightly larger and use the crystals in her bouquet with the flowers like you suggested. I can also use a slightly different or totally different color ribbon. I guess it would all depend on how much you want her to stand out from the others. I think both would look good.

Now for the bouquet crystals. I’ve loaded some pictures to show some of the endless options with crystals. They are available now in all shapes and sizes so I’m just going to start with the basics.

These are Swarovski sprays which sorta look like flowers themselves.

Here the bouquet handle has been done with crystal pins that run up the center.

This is a simple treatment with the crystals placed in the center on the roses.

And finally here’s an example of a corsage with trailing crystals. I will start to post more corsage and boutonniere pictures next month as time seems to fly by. Is time flying by for you or does it seem like the wedding will never get here? Seems no matter what I do there's never enough time  =)

Have a great weekend!
