Very nice, I agree about adding something a little shimmery to it.

Even some silver Christmas balls would work.

I think it's really pretty. For shimmer you could go to a place that has artificial flowers (I think Michael's has it when the christmas stuff comes out) it is baby's breath that has glitter on it, so you could add silver or gold baby's breath and it would just add a hint of sparkle.
The only thing I would change would be all white floating candles since there is already color in the surrounding flowers.
Great job!!!

I think you did a nice job, but it does look very fake. Maybe when it gets closer to xmas time you can get the real evergreen garland. The flowers look too fake, i would choose other flowers at micheals or something that look real.

I'm sorry I didnt want to hurt your feelings but i think its better that you know so that you can make changes to it and adjust it. I dont think you should scrap the whole idea I think your idea is great, but just make changes
Sooooooo pretty, I love looking at xmas flowers/Cp's. Great job

I'm all about stuff being bold, so I would try to use more of one color (like red) rather than red and white and 'fill it in more'. Also, I am not sure if you need more stones in the water or less. Overall though it seems like you have a great start and can probably just play with your existing materials to get it just the way you like it

It's really pretty!
The only thing I'm not crazy about is that there are two red flowers and one white one going around the wreath...I think I'd perfer them all in one color.
Also maybe try putting all white and clear marbles in the water, and then all red floating candles. Or all red marbles and all white floating candles.. I think it'll make the color pop more.

AWW!! Don't be upset!! We're just trying to be helpful so that you can have a great centerpiece!! I think it is a cute idea!! I like the idea of the wreath around the glass bowl- it just needs a bit of finetuning (JMO).
How about if you just used the red berries and pinecones on the wreath and placed a red silk flower under the water in the bowl? You could add some of the marbles to the bowl also.
