    Hi Everyone,

    This is my first post on Weddingbee... been checking it a lot lately and thought it was finally time to join!

    Here is what I'm thinking for centrepiece ideas. Do the flowers look too fake? If we go with real we would probably use white roses from Costco.

    I'm making all the black/pink ribbon boxes for favors.

    Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    Very cute!! I might fill up the vases a little more so is looks a little fuller, but overall a very sweet look.

    Cute, add more rocks and try a one with ribbon around the larger vase. A mirror can also tie it all together, you can find round or square mirrors in the dollar store.

    i agree with a mirror below the vase, and a ribbon around! Super cute though.

    I think the flowers look great. If you have the time and the inclination there are so many gorgeous things you can do with paper flowers. One of the Bees posted about it a few months ago (sorry, having trouble finding the post but here is one of the inspiration pics).

    I really like this look. They don't come across as too fake, at least to me. :)

    I would definately tie a wide pink or black ribbon around the vase, it'll bring everything together and will hide the stems a bit more.

    Super cute idea!  I have to be honest with you though, to me the flowers look like they're fake.  That's not necessarily a bad thing though, it just depends on what you want.

    love your colours, it looks like a pro wedding setting. Nice work!

    watch out if you do use mirrors underneath, Ive seen photos that are ruined by the flash bouncing off mirrors on tables, it really damages the lighting and you cant tell until you see the pictures.( incase any of your guests are using disposables or other cameras without the digital viewing available). Maybe try it at night at home, dim the lights, light the candles, and take photos across the table, so you can see how they turn out.

    I totally love it! I think the flowers look fabulous! I think it would look great with a ribbon the color of your tea lights tied around and agree with the comment about filling the vase a little more. But otherwise, awesome work!

    Love it! Personally, I don't care about whether fake flowers look real as long as they look pretty. I have no compunction at all about decorating with fake.

    I'd fill that vase up to the top, though. Will give it more drama.

    I agree with filling the vase up more!  More black stones and then a pink ribbon tied around the vase. That will make the flowers 'pop' and give it a more centered look. Great colors though! I thought about black & white + an accent color. It's so modern but still elegant :)
