Centrepieces

For autumnal weddings — fill a vase with walnuts and pinecones with a stems of deep red roses sticking out.

Fill a clear wide bowl with water. Add some lilies and floating tea lights. This creates a beautiful sparkling effect.

Fill square vases with glass gems and add flowers (dried, fresh, silk) fitting with the colour theme of your day.

Choose a tall, thin vase, fill with coloured water and add flowers to suit — orchids look good here

Using a clear, tall square vase, fill with natural coloured shells and star fish. Great for themed weddings.

Fill a vase with lemons for a fresh, zesty look!

For winter weddings — add branches with small lights in a vas and place on top of a small mirror — the sparkle from the lights create a lovely Christmassy effect!

In a tall clear round vase, add water and some lilies and place a floating candle on top.

Create a glass pond by fill a large wide bowl with beach pebbles, water and floating candles. Candles glimmer and reflect off the glass.
