Re: Feather centerpieces

I guess it is 24 inches

I also put the feathers in a glass vase but these pics are too hard to see I am getting very frustrated trying to upload pictures over here

Re: Feather centerpieces

I am confused. The clear plastic pic is that the inside and then you place the white part over it, to have that white affect?

Re: Feather centerpieces

I think it looks nice in glass though huh, kinda like ice!

but a vase would probably cost at least 15$ plus the feather cost which was what again marcella 50 cents a piece? This would be about 15 per cetnerpiece then, plus a light ends up being around the same price, I am so confused ahhhhhh

Re: Feather centerpieces

yes CW, it is fabric spandex material stretched over lucite plastic. Looks pretty in depth though, dont know if it would make any sense to do on my own, alot of work and might still end up costing about the same, i need to figure out the price of doing it on my own compared to renting this one and see which makes more sense.

Re: Feather centerpieces

Do you think this version looks too sparse?

Re: Feather centerpieces

I think it needs more feather, but that's my opinion.. I like that full look.. how sturdy is it Tara?

Re: Feather centerpieces

My concern would be when people sit down, would the feathers be in their faces or as they get up would they bump into them. I am trying to get the 36' one that goes up to 54' with the feathers.
I see what Fancy Faces means by the spandex covers. Ihave a copy of their price list for the sample you have and the larger one I mentioned above.

I do think that the sample you have needs more feathers. How many did they send you?

Re: Feather centerpieces

Actually I think this one is the perfect height, the bigger one is over 4 feet tall!! think that is too big, plus it is more expensive, I could add more feather I guess with floral foam or something but I dont have any here to try right now
