Since I had a nearly unanimously positive reaction to the tissue paper flowers, I’ve decided to go ahead and use them for the wedding. Thank you so much everyone for the kind feedback! I’ll make them a few at a time over the next four months–it’s a great DIY project since I don’t have to be in KC to work on them, unlike most of my other projects.

Last night I started experimenting with different centerpiece arrangements. Since my budget is pretty much shot, the only things I can afford to buy is one more type of vase. I bought “samples” of a couple different types, and would really appreciate feedback about which arrangement looks best.

**When you look at these, please visualize them with many, many more flowers in each vase, the tealights all lit, and blue “squished marbles” where appropriate**

A:
(This was my original plan, and I have everything required for it already–I wouldn’t have to spend any extra money to use these. In this one, I’ll put the squished marbles in the clear vase. Also, I don’t have one of those long lighters, so the candles aren’t lit–but of course they will be at the wedding!)

B:
(This one is my favorite! But if I go with this, I’ll have to buy 7 more of the cylindrical vases, at $2.00 apiece. I’ll also put the squished marbles in the bottom of the floating candles vase. )

C:
(Similar, only with a small blue cylindrical vase. I’m just afraid that it’s a little bit less proportional looking.)

D:
(This one is sort of hard to see, and I apologize about that. But it is the roundish vase from “A” put into the floater bowl–for a much more uniform, monochromatic look. The only color in this one would be the squished marbles.)

E:
( All blue! That’s an unlit floating tealight in the big blue vase, which would of course be lit at the wedding )

F:
(This is sort of the reverse of “A”)
