I bought tall shot glasses (50p each in Habitat, later found at 3 for £1 for the same glasses in a pound shop), and I painted the flowers I'd painted on our invites, order of service and menu's on them, then wrote (in outline glass paint) "Fiona & Paul - 13th July 2003" around the glass.
I then filled these glasses with sugared almonds, it looked really nice...a lot of work though.
I had planted flowers as my table centrepieces, chosen only a few days before to match my colours, kept it very simple, and close family members got to take one home with them at the end of the night. They still have them in their garden, and they call them their Fee & Paul flowers, which is kinda cool.
