If you saw this picture from this post:

And was wondering how I would make these into some kind of sense for a centerpiece, you weren’t the only one. I decided to mock up a table since I had unwrapped all this stuff from newspaper. After washing my hands for 9 hours to remove the newsprint, I came up with this line up:

I included a cake plate, a large candle holder, a medium candle holder and two small tea light holders. I’m digging the vintage eclectic. Here’s the view from the back side:

I may stagger these a little bit more, instead of being such a straight line, and I’m also considering maybe some fresh greenery to lay on the table. Since the long tables won’t be very wide, I think with the china settings, the favors, salt/pepper shakers, and the serving platters for family-style serving will fill the table.

The tablecloth won’t be so “I’m Damask, Baby!” on the tables either. We’re going with a crushed ivory tablecloth that I think will help keep the focus on the sparkle of the glassware. You’ll be seeing this damask again though! Start looking forward to it.

Are you obsessed with mocking things up first? How many trials did you do before settling on a centerpiece?
