Save on your centerpieces

Would you use a goldfish as a centerpiece? That’s today’s question. In my opinion it's a neat concept, however not for a centerpiece. I'm a huge animal lover but I’m not a vegetarian, I think I would have a hard time eating while those little eyes were staring at me.

I love the concept of underwater centerpieces. They look larger than you think and budget friendly. You can group small centerpieces together (like above picture) keep it simple though, you don't want to make it look to busy. When meeting with your florist go in with a budget in mind. Collect lots of pictures of what you like the look of, think about the mood that you want to create and your theme - colour or place.Think about the size and the season of the flowers.  Ask about rental vases or if you can bring in your own, this way you can control exactly what you want to spend.If they know what your budget is they will be able to recommend the best ideas. Plus they have the skills to create stunning displays.

Below are a few of my favourite centerpieces:
