I am doing an underwater floral arrangement with orchids. There will be crystals in the vase and a light. On top will be a floating candle.

I hear ya, I am all over the map when it comes to centerpieces too.

I LOVE this one, but afraid it will be expensive.

or I love the ides of just all candles in jars.

We're thinking of possible DIY also to save some money.

Re: what are you doing for your CP?

I WISH I HAD NOT FALLEN IN LOVE WITH MY CP'S AS MUCH AS I DID…THEY ARE QUITE LOVELY...I WISH I HAD PICTURES....BUT TO TRY AND DESCRIBE THEM, THEY ARE BIRCH TREE STANDS WITH ORCHIDS, CRYSTALS, HANGING CANDLES THROUGH OUT THE BRANCHES AND EXOTIC FLOWERS AROUND THE BASES…BEAUTIFUL BUT WAAAAAAAY MORE MONEY THAN I EVER EXPECTED OR WANTED TO SPEND ON FLOWERS!!!!!!!

Re: what are you doing for your CP?

I could care less about flowers, so I think I might DIY with tall vases, flowers and colorful stones.

Re: what are you doing for your CP?

Not 100% sure yet but I know it will be something to do with candles and vases on a silver charger plate (cause I already have the chargers LOL) and im not a big fan of flowers

Re: what are you doing for your CP?

Highs - dark blue hydrangeas with accents of pink roses and peonies. (though we are considering light green hydrangeas and are going to ask for 1/2 and 1/2 in the sample)

lows - 3 varying height cyclinder vases with white orchids submerged in water with floating candles and in the center a low vase of dark blue hydrangeas.

I get to see the samples next month!! So excited! Will definitely share pictures!

Re: what are you doing for your CP?

I saw these pics from my venue and I LOVED the CP's. my FH hates red roses so we are going to use deep purple tulips, sweetpea, and peacock feathers

edit cause pics won't show :(

Re: what are you doing for your CP?

Re: what are you doing for your CP?

I'm DIYing my own and saving 1800 doing so. So I told FH we should put that toward a Venetian Hour.

Re: what are you doing for your CP?

My venue provides candelabra, so I will prob utilize those if it reduces costs...Will def be doing flowers, with maybe some branches...Whatever it may be, I want it FULL looking

Re: what are you doing for your CP?

Just an FYI because I know I would want someone to let me know if I was saying the wrong thing, it's a Viennese Hour, not Venetian Hour.
