Too much white on the table??

I started playing around with my centerpiece items today to try and get an idea of how I want everything to come together.

My table numbers are in a white frame (pics in diy album).

I'm spray painting one mason jar flat white over lace and putting an led candle in it.

A quart-size mason jar will be spray painted sunny yellow and have a dozen fabric flowers in each, and I'm using glass-dye to make pint jars that vintage blue color that's been popping up all over on pinterest, wedding boards, etc.

We're using the WGP at Fox Hollow, and I don't know if a gold damask really suits afternoon vintage, but if we just use a white linen, are the elements on the table going to blend too much? Or is there enough color to save it?

Sorry for the long post, just worried about CP pieces and linens....and this is what is DEstressing me from grading today


TIA!

It doesn't sound like too much white to me. It's only one component of the centerpiece and then your table number. I would just make sure the white jar and table numbers aren't next to each other. Or maybe you could do ivory table clothes if you are concerned?

BTW that jar is AMAZING! I wish I had a creative bone in my body! I am only creative when it comes to school stuff!

Didn't even think about ivory! I'll have to remember that one. I just want to start getting whatever pieces done I can and I'm afraid if I start spray painting I'm going to realize I made a terrible mistake. Then, when we finally get a house soon I'm gonna bust out all my craftiness and take over the rooms lol.

That jar is actually super, super easy! It's just sticking a big enough piece of lace around it and then the paint comes through. That was one of the very first things I came across and was like, that MUST be in my wedding somewhere!
