Centerpieces, centerpieces, oh my...
For some reason, I have become obsessed with the centerpieces. I just can't make up my mind about what I want do...
I think that the potted plant idea might be too much work... plus I'm not sure how people will react to them... and I'm not sure if that's the look I want anymore
I bought these hurricane vases at AC Moore awhile ago. I think they're between 8-10inches high. and I got a great price for them because they were on sale. Possibilities for this include the candle with either moss or flowers on the bottom, and probably a ribbon around, I could also use them as vases and put flowers in them, or even a combination of the two. I'm not totally sold on this idea either... will they look great on the tables??
Another idea I had was lanterns... but the problem is finding fantastic lanterns at a fantastic price... This is proving to be much much harder than I thought. I did find some cute ones at the Christmas Tree shop today... but then again, I'm not totally sold on that idea either...
And then this weekend, while I was at Trader Joe's, they had a bunch of cute orchids... for less than $10... Orchids are gorgeous, they bring a little asian into the decor, and they're very elega
nt... My only question is will there still be a bunch of orchids in May?? I don't know what their season is?Finally, there's always flowers. I still have to investigate a couple of grocery stores. I have heard that you can get centerpieces, bouquets and everything for pretty cheap at places like Stop-n-Shop or Roche Bros. Hmmmm.....
I think this picture is from theknot.com.... It's gorgeous. But I have no idea where they found these adorable little lantern things... It's on my list of favorite pics of centerpieces I have seen so far though...

so many choices!! i say use the hurricane glasses since you already bought 'em - maybe you could do something with herbs and moss at the bottom to make them kind of look like the lanterny one?
