My h2b is a genius!! For those of you ordering fine sand for your table decorations in white!!! DON'T BOTHER! Save your money and use table salt!! I ordered a 10lb bag of sand that is tiddley!! Its only when he looked at it that he said 'You got done, should have used table salt' that I thought AHAAAAA! Genius!! So I am now doing a few jars with salt and using the sand in the others! Will save me a fortune as sand was 15 pound for the bag and I need lots of it!! :) Will upload a mock up of my table decorations soon.....Watch this space! :) xxx
Edited to say - Obviously don't use water with the salt! Lol! You don't want to be able to gargle with it! Not sure how well it would work with candles either! :D

Genius! I've been thinking about centerpieces and secretly wondering if I could botch the whole thing as it's a huge cost, but with the salt I could put together something quite cheap!! Great post haha sometimes the easiest solution is overlooked by us brides lol
