just to let you all know i bought my table centrepieces today, just by luck really as we popped to one of these deigner factory outlet places and in one of the candle shop there was table rings(wreaths) whatever there called,they are the exact colour i needed and were just £1.29 each,just need to get candles for the middle now they had 2 sizes so i bought 18 of the smaller ones which are about 5" from one side to the other for the guests tables and 2 larger ones which are about 8" across for the top table which were £2.20. so i had a bit of a bargain really all for £27.62 considering it would have cost me £83 at full price!!

so now i just need to find the candles !

so some advice for those who have a designer outlet near them,take a look there for your table decs before you buy them elsewhere.

I think we're going to have vases of flowers so I need to buy lots of vases.....Apparently our Co-op has some nice ones!! either that or Ikea me thinks...

Ikea's got some ace vases, Roz and they're dead cheap.

My mum bought loads of white roses and orchids in silk really cheap.

And she's going to put them in wooden biscuit barrells!

Sounds odd but they look grand and a are a bit different!

The whole lot only came to about £80.

But Claire definitely has the bargain of the day!

well done Claire.... that was such a bargain. There are some bargain candle places online - I'll see if I can dig out the URL's for you.

I wanted to have candles too but we are having a marquee and as its summer seems no need so I'm a bit stuck on what to do for table decorations?

Well done Claire on your great find, which I could have candles like you
