I wish I had my camera with me last night, because I went to this dinner for work... and I loved the centerpieces they had, they were simple, but very beautiful and elegant.
In a short, glass, square vase, they had 12 red roses with the stems cut short so that just the actual flower was sticking out of the vase, and grey stones at the bottom of the glass. In the direct center of the rose arrangement, they had what appeared to be twigs or something coming out and sticking just a bit higher than the roses. the vase was sitting on top of this round bottom of some sort that had tiny circles where light shone up through through the glass to illuminate the centerpiece... it was really pretty. sorry people, that's my best description without a photo ha ha...
for my wedding, I was set on calla lilies but lately I keep seeing breathtaking pics of rose bouqets, centerpieces, etc. that just elicit such a feeling of romance... so yeah, decisions, decisions!!!
