    I had a question about my centerpieces, so I'm posting a picture of the mock-up that I did.  We're using my father's bonsai collection, with purple tableclothes, burlap runners, river rock and votive candles.  This is for a long table, but it would be easy to modify for a round table.  Also, you'll have to excuse the uneven cutting job on the burlap - I was in a hurry!  Smile  Hope this helps!

    Those look awesome! Very natural, eco-chic vibe going on. I really love bonsai - my uncle has his own bonsai side business.

    Thanks!  I'm really excited about them.  My dad got into bonsai a few years ago, and he's getting pretty good.  That, and he's the curator of the bonsai collection at the gardens where we're getting married, so the transportation shouldn't be a problem.  I also LOVE using something that's important to someone in my family.

    That is an awesome idea!  I haven't seen bonsais used before!  I really like the look of it with the burlap!!  Clean up the edges and it is 100% gorgeous!

    what a neat idea!

    I love when brides go outside of the norm and so something that is "them". LOVE IT!
