Centerpieces

I've been doing a lot of thinking about what the centerpieces would look like. I am going to use this blog post to keep track of ideas, so it may be a bit jumbled!

Each table will have a square piece of purple fabric with a diamond of the damask piece inside. I think I may use paper for the damask, because I bought a roll of wrapping paper in this print - mainly because I found it and knew it would be cheaper than buying individual pieces of paper or fabric. I still need to figure out which size square would fit properly in the center of the table.

One third of the tables will have tall Eiffel vases with floral arrangements. The remaining tables - I still need to figure out. I might do the remaining tables with the same centerpieces or have two alternating centerpieces for them.

I like this idea of using rubber bands around vases and spray painting them. I think a trio of different sized cylinder vases would look nice.

Some cheap cylinder vases:
- 7 1/4" by 3 1/4" Cylinder Vases from Dollar Tree $1
- 4" Glass Candleholder from Dollar Tree $1
- 3.5" by 9" Cylinder vase $3.99
- 4" by 12" cylinder vase $7.92
- Set of 12 10.5" by 3.25" cylinder vases $39.99 ($3.33 each)
- Set of 12 4" by 10" cylinder vases $49.20 ($4.10 each)
- 12" by 5" cylinder vase $6.49, 6/$32.94
