I saw them in target too.

You could probally make them too with wire.

How about IKEA? They seem to have unique candles...

That is soooo beautiful!!! Where did you find the pic? Are your tables round or rectangle?

No, I don't think they look too low - they look about 3-4 feet to me...but that's just a guess since you can't see the tops of them in the pics. I assume you'd want them at least that tall so as not to obstruct any views.

They're beautiful...best of luck to you with constructing them!!!

Sorry, I meant to day the vase seems low.

My tables are round. I did a search for 'branches' on this board and the knot board and I found this pic

They look high enough that the people can see eachother sitting down or standing up.. seems fine.

Also seems like a lot of work... good luck!

Oh..
If I look carefully I think I see the 'tree' vase is almost normal sized that we see when we get roses.. the flowers seem to be in their own vases..

So my answer is, no the vase does not seem low.

Make sense as it has to hold that tree up.

Yeah the branches and the flowers have there own vases. I think its pretty simple to do. Kinda of like doing a christmas tree. When I went to flowers by brian they did a sample for me, only they use willow branches, a 2 foot vase and four candles, without the flowers on the side, that was 125, so when I told them I wanted more candles to replicate this pic they told me 250-300, I thought that was sic. Just for branches and lights, no flowers, no way!!!

Probably charging for each candle being placed and lit..

Nah.. I think you can pull it off.

No, the vase seems fine. I think the point was to not make the vase the center of attention w/this centerpiece so it's almost kind of hidden
Just make sure the candles aren't right by the guests' eyes

Wow! I saw this picture and loved it instantly! Seems like it would be awesome for the Midsummer night's Dream/Enchanted Forest theme I'm working on creating. If you have any tips from making them (when the time comes) would you mind sharing them with me? I love your idea and it seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to make!
