Novices at Best

We are novices at best - but which centerpiece is your favorite? I'd love to tally your vote and hear any constructive criticism. Of course, the bride will have final say - but there is still a lot to learn. We're having too much fun to let someone professional take over.

I love love love #1! It's gorgeous! I also really love #4 but have to say that #1 is my favorite! You should start a business, I am serious, those are unreal! I am definitely impressed!

Seriously, I have to comment again these are so beautiful. They are so unique to the traditional centerpiece. Which one do you think Emmy will pick? I love all this stuff, I sooo wish I was there to help. The minute I get to California you guys better put me to work, it's so much fun!

I like #3 and #1, depending on the overall look you're going for. So pretty!

I like #1 and #3. Before Ayden I worked a little in the floral industry... so it's always fun to see arrangements. Here are a few tips I've learned: if they're going on a table as a center piece be sure they are low enough for people to see those across the table, make sure you use flowers w/little to no fragrance if your serving food, you don't want an overload of smell. Hope that helps :)

#3 for the big table and #1 for the fun tables. They all look great! New business in development?

I love #1 and #4. I love the vases wrapped with leaves. My friend did her bouqet in a similar manner with these big looped leave off the stems and then the flowers. Hard to explain, but I think you are going for the same idea. I am very impressed!

I think number four is beautiful, but I think the only one that really doesnt jump out at me is number five...so it is a tough call. You guys are really good at this!

angie said...

thanks! we have until may - so we are going to keep playing. but its nice to have a direction. anyhow, after we floated the white and green orchids in that vase they stayed perfectly beautiful for two days and counting - just something nice to know in case you ever are doing your own decorating!

For now said...

angie, mom- you guys are amazing!! truly brillant!! Whatever is on the tables will look wonderful! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

I like four. Clean, simple and understated.

Good work!

Man, I wish I was at the Robinson house. I feel like I'm missing out. How many times am I going to say that on this blog?

I really love the clean, modern look of #1. I actually really like the idea of using water as part of the visual effect--instead of just as something to keep the plants going. Water is soothing. I also really like #5, so vertical! This would probably be too tall for a table centerpiece, but would be cool on a food table or by the sign-in book.
