I have loads of table diamonds which I love and want to incorporate into the design, but otherwise I'm a bit stumped.
We have one idea, which involves, polysterene, spray paint and dragonflies - my brother is working on this (he makes models etc - runs a magazine about them).
If that doesn't work out then we have to try to think of something else that is cheap but looks stunning - anyone any thoughts?
I had round bowls from ikea with floating gerberas in our colour scheme and glass beads at the bottom. It looked really effective on the tables. If you are having trouble incorporating dragon flies into your centre piece, how about having them on the name cards or in the wine glasses instead? I love dragon flies - good choice on theme!
Well we have some large dragonflies that we could stick on the side of whatever we have.....
I definately want something quite simple (but funky) as the venue is quite decorative already (pic below) and Chris has said definately nothing tall - not sure why, but at least he's having some input
The bowls could look quite good..... just a matter of sourcing them. Will check out ikea....

Love the photos of the venue, looks very elegant. I think our bowls worked out about £3 each in Ikea, then we ordered gerberas (same as bridesmaids flowers) to be delivered directly to the hotel and they cut the heads off and put them in the water with the stones etc. It looked quite simple but effective, and saved lots of money! I would lend you our bowls, but after the reception I got the staff to put the displays in the hotel rooms of my family and they all took them home. Now when they have parties they get them out as decorations and put floating flowers or candles in, and I'm a bit gutted as I didn't get to keep one for myself!
Ok about the only ones in ikea at the moment are these..... i'm not sure if these'll look quite right.... what do you think?
Anyone any other ideas on where to look?
I was looking at exactly the same one as youjust now on the Ikea website, though not sure if the stand looks posh enough. If I were you I would go down to ikea and have a good look because in my experience they didn't show all the bowls on the website, because the ones I chose weren't on there when I was looking for our wedding. I can't remember if we found them in the kitchen section or maybe even the garden section? Plus, if you go for a visit you may find something else that you prefer.
Also, it may be worth looking in the 'housey' section of ASDA, just a thought...
should have shouted Ive just finally bitten the bullet and just got rid of most of our dragonfly stuff
