Centerpieces?


Well, today my momma and I have decided we'll be doing our own centerpieces!  It just seems like for the amount of money we need to pay the florist, we could do it ourselves and make it looks AMAZING, and then get to sell everything afterwards!
Today we were on the hunt for at least 30" trumpet vases, like so:
The centerpieces will look like this:
 
(actually how the whole reception will *hopefully* look!)

simple, right?  WRONG!  how do i keep the vases from tipping over?  fill then with water?  sand? pebbles?
should i get clear? frosted with LED lights in the bottom?  black?!
so many decisions!  but i'm happy we'll be doing it ourselves.  we're pretty much doing this whole wedding by ourselves, so why not the centerpieces too ;)
btw, only 10 of the cp's will be these tall ones.  the others will look like this:
we already have the alternating height square vases for the candles.  now i just need to decide on candle color and rose petal color.  hmmm...this is gonna be tough!!

that's all for now!

Love,
The Shumans
