    Hi Ladies, Need some help. I think i may be going a bit over board.

    I found these beautiful candle holders in hobby lobby (using tall ones on 7 guest tables and smaller ones on head tables
    TOO MUCH BLING??? HELP :  wedding NW A 3513 DT Crystal Bead Pillar Stand and Cylinder

    Instead of using candles, I'm filing them with white hyrangea and white roses.
    added are two pedestals with white votive candles so the light will still bounce of the crystals.

    After getting that together, I thought, I wanted to add some height on the floor so, I ordered crystal trees to use on the other 3 floor tables ( 2 reserved tables, one on right of dance floor, one on left and then at the top of the dance floor, one of the crystal trees will serve as a centerpriece there) these trees are a littles less than 4 ft tall and will be accompanied by tall taper candles (pic below)

    So now that I've got all the tables dresses, I looked at my dance floor that sits right in the middle of the room and thought, "Hey I can hang crystals from the ceiling and I actually found them. (pic below)

    I think that'll be beautiful!  Sometimes when you have a big venue you need stuff like that to make it pop and not look empty!

    That is going to look absolutely gorgeous!!!! I love it!!!!!!!

    You can never have too much bling. I'm with crebre though, are you going to have some kind of candlelight? That will really make the bling sparkle.

    Thanks Ladies, Smile and yes each table with the candlesholders have 2 pedestals that holds votives candles and also 4 votives that sit on the tables (wal-mart had the votives in cups 12/$6 so I got more than enough of those). The tables with the trees will have 2 tall tapers each and 4 votives on the tables. Finally, my venue has recessed lighting so i think it will pick up all the sparkles!!

    Thanks alot, I really needed some opinions before I got too out of hand!! Wink

    I Love them - never too much bling!  :)

    You could add those electric tealights to the bottom before the flowers...  That would look amazing!

    I think I am going to go with items like this versus flowers, I"m a more modern/contemporary person..looks great!
