Me and oh are thinking about what type of centrepieces we would like and unsure whether to go for balloons or flowers??
Also how much did everyone spend on decorations?? xx
CommentAuthortweedwedding
I think our centrepieces cost about £15, we're having candles and flowers on a mirror plate with tiny 'dew drops'. Our florist mocked up a demo for us and they look gorgeous :-) xx

Ours were bout £12 each, fishbowls with water beads and fake flowers, on mirrored plates with scatter crystals x
Thanks all.. Seems the fish bowl idea works out cheapest :) xx

Have a look in the Range or Poundstretcher - that's where my friend got her's from and she found them to be the cheapest place :-) xx

We bought all our bits as well, so can sell fish bowls on now x
Now Mrs Cobb!!!!!! :-D
CommentAuthorMrsSaraParry!
I'm not really keen on balloons so I'm biased. We're having fishbowls on mirror plates filled with water pearls and fresh gerbera flower heads. The fishbowls were only £3 from Argos, although I don't know if they have any left... depends how many you want as to whether there would be someone on here selling theirs after? I know I'd be happy to sell mine xx

We are hiring our birdcages for £4.95 each, then i am buying flowers from a wholesalers, and lights off the bay, so all in all each centrepiece will cost around £20, but they are exactly what i want and do look amazing xx

We are having a mixture of candelabras on mirrored plates, 3 tiered fishbowls with water gems and butterflies in them and large martini glasses filled with flowers. All in all, they cost around £20 each. The company im using showed me some pictures of the displays and they are beautiful. The company is called Woodyatt Warner.

For our centerpieces we're having little galvanised steel buckets with colour co-ordinated ribbon around the centre and a contrasting bead, with a cream rose bush inside and a heart-shaped table number and it's costing £4.47 each which I'm pretty pleased with. We're giving them to various parents g'parents as momentos of the day too so we've saved some money on gifts too!

I like candelabra's and our venue has 2 styles to choose from really tall and not too tall, so where having the not too tall with candels and flowers with some simple traditional table arrangements as well. We're lucky as our venue has an in house florist so the table decorations are included in the price.
CommentAuthorMrsL2Be
We met up with the decorations people and have decided on having both now :) xx
CommentAuthorClareS
We're having lanterns with big candles and flowers around the bottom. Doing them for £15 per table I think Our venue always uses lots of candles around their room so don't really know what else to use. My reception room is having a refurb after christmas to extend it slightly. They'll be inviting us to an open evening once it's all completed so I'll be taking a pad and pen to get further ideas.
CommentAuthorloustew2012
for during the day were having the venue candleabra and they supplying candle colour of our choice but not yet decide on anything else flowers etc and at night a mirror plate with purple tealight holders and table crystals. not getting balloons cos they will not last on the table 5 mins and dont have a lot of time to turn them round probably for the night time guests. this is included in our package at the venue. x

I don't know yet how much the deco will cost because I am collecting it as I am going along.
We're having antique books as centerpieces and around will be scattered ceramic vintage 50s kitch deers and some toadstools. We won't have any real flowers but tissue paper pom poms in vintage glassware I am collecting.
Apart from the centerpieces there will be lots of bunting, tissue paper pom poms and paper lampshades for decoration.
It’s so great to find that one special person
you want to annoy for the rest of your life....
CommentAuthorpennieb-MrsRiley
We had fairly tall clear glass vases filled with 2 anthuriums and some silver spirals on a mirror plate surrounded by 3 tea lights and some scatter gems. It was pretty simple, but really effective. As to cost, I can't be too sure as the MIL did the flowers, but I would say probab;y not more than £10 per table x
Now, finally, Mrs Riley
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

ive brought vases in different shades of green (3 vases for £4.99) will half fill them with sand (bottle £2.99) and brought some 3 stem ivory roses (£1 each). they will be put on squared mirror plates (£48 for 16) and i have scattered green stones (£2 a bag) and crystals (£3 a bag) also ive brought some bubbles (£13 for 48 bottles) to go on the tables for the children. some tea light holders (40p each from ikea) and some little tea lights (£2 for 100). im having 15 tables so for each table ive spent about £9.50 which is pretty good i think

I have black lily vases that i was going to put red roses in but i found a lady that does a fantastic package that includes chair covers back drops and candlebras which ive convinced my other half to have so we are having those with red and ivory roses in them and then the vases I have will be thank you gifts for ppl (which is what they were going to be anyway)
