Just a ? regarding a centerpiece I like...anyone wanna give their opinion

OK so I haven't really mentioned it to my florist yet because I am trying to still decide what I want.

But I saw this pic and thought that would be a cool idea for a centerpiece


I would have those branches as the centerpieces with those lights on it instead of candles hanging from it. And I would do some flowers at the base of the vase w/ the branches. But then I just realized can I do that?? Wouldn't those lights need to be plugged in somewhere? And then I don't think that would work as a centerpiece??!!

If anyone has any other ideas similar if they don't think this would work could you share?!! THANK YOU!!!!

i just googled battery operated white christmas lights...and they exist (the string kind)...so im guessing the florist could use that

the few i saw had a box thing at the end (for the batteries) so i would guess they'd just have to figure out how/where to conceal it.

I had an ex that used to WEAR battery operated christmas lights (don't even ASK) and I do know that they only last a short time. Maybe like 3 hours, before dying for the mini-sets.

Sorry....I have to ask...he WORE them?

There are def. battery operated lights as the other girls told you. i think it's a beautiful centerpiece. I hope it works out

Yup. He wore them. On his body. Like draped around his coat. At the time, I found it quirky and charming.

quirky and charming! you are too much

catie i think it would look great - but would worry about the battery dying - ask the florist though, you never know, they may have done something similair in the past

Indeed. What I did not find quirky and charming, though, was his 6 years of successive unemployment and his obsession with role playing video games.
