Center Pieces???

Tonight on my way home from work I made a pit stop at AC Moore.

My goal? To gather some materials to start to craft an ideal center piece!

I'll let you know how it all goes.

(it's great that I'm finally using this blog for it's original intent!)

Update (The next day):

After spending a little bit of time toying around with different pieces and colors and requesting advice from anyone floating around the house (if you know anything about our house - you'll know it's not unusual to have "random people floating around"), I think I came up with an idea - or at least a starting point.

The most difficult part of the process was trying to match the possible table cloth materials to the items I was chosing for the center pieces. Since Mom is making the table clothes, I have an almost endless supply of material choices - but there are a couple I've already got my heart set on.

Another hurdle was that I was almost limited to the style I was going for. Ryan really wants goldfish on the tables (when we first got engaged it was one of his first and only suggestions - so I will make it happen) so I had to find a fairly large/glass container for them to go in and figure out how to inforporate the colors/style of the wedding into it from there.

Below are some pictures of pieces I've used to start to craft an idea.
