I love Vietnamese lemongrass chicken. I was on the West Elm website cruising around and the description of lemongrass accessories piqued my interest. Thank goodness it did! I found little bulb vases in a lemongrass color (on the very right in maroon below) for $3.99 each. I bought 20 of them. It turns out that shipping is free and there was no sales tax. Score!

I’m also trying to decide on the grey and clear/white vases to complete our look. So far, I think I like these from CB2:

These are going to go on top of the different fabric table runners. Since I’m doing all the flowers myself (I know, I’m insane), I decided that instead of huge arrangements, I’m going to do a vase with a single flower on top of a fun fabric. We’ll still need about 75 stems, but that’s easier to manage than hundreds. Also, this way, I can mix and match different varieties of white and yellow flowers.

Our big problem will be the round tables. I didn’t realize that we’d have to decorate 5 round tables. For me, they are harder to design because of all the space in the middle.

Are all your reception tables of the same shape and size? If not, how are you adapting you centerpieces to fit the dimensions of your different tables? I need ideas!
