wedding table centrepieces -one down FOURTEEN to go :op

The wedding I have been making invitations for is looming ever closer and now I am at the stage of making the table centres.  Today I made the first one and I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.  To be honest I had to make each individual flower separately so there is a lot of work in preparation and only about two hours building the cone and hotgluing on the flowers.  The flowers took three days to prepare.  Full 8 hours shifts as well, Oh my goodness I have alot of flower making ahead to complete these.

I also made 120 origami flowers and stuck them to the place cards.  The bride saw this idea in a wedding magazine and it was priced at £150 each, and place cards £5 each.  I made them for a lot less!  She was delighted with the result but even more delighted that we created this look for such a huge saving.
A good day all round!

I'm sure the bride-to-be's first thought on seeing this was WOW!
You may have got the materials cheaper but the time element can't is something else. Major undertaking but a job really well done.
