my centerpieces

well where do i start well i had no idea what i wanted for my centerpieces so i decided to google it..lol. i seem to google everything these days... well i saw some really nice ideas like tall flowers but i dont really want alot of flowers as with my luck they will probably all die...lol so i thought about other thigs i could have... me and the H2B thought about fish bowls with purple fish but then there were problems with that too, like we would need more than one fish in each bowl then times that by like 10 tables that is alot of fish and what would we do with them when we are done i dont think we want like 50 fish round the house lol so we decided that wasnt really a good idea. so i decided i wanted some sort of candles and i found these amazing smelly candles at asda for £3 for 50 and they smell of winter berrys i think and they are purple!!!!! so we went on the search for different vases, i thought i wanted like either square vases or rectangle but they seem a little bit expensive, on a trip to asda i found these 6 little purple tealight holders at a steal of...are you ready....50p each, how great is that so then i had to work out what i was going to do with them so i thought i could get some mirror plates and put the six on the plate and put water in them then float a candle in it, so last night me and my mom went to the 24 hour asda to pick up some more of the tealight holders and yes my luck was not there as they only had black, red and clear ones which was quite dissapointing, but, yes there is a but, right next to them were these bowls at £1 each which would mean we only needed one per table unlike like 50 of the tealight holders. so now i am going to place one of the tealight holders in the bowl then fill the bowl with water with purple food colouring, then attatch 3 balloon stings in the tea light holder then top that up with either purple water or some kind of sand or beads i dont know yet but below is a photo of what it will look like without the balloons and the water will be more purple.

Also my mom just had an idea of using die-cut butterflies to decorate round the edge of the bowls.
