RSVPs today were friends of my family, Josh & Tiffanie (decline) and Matt's cousin, Dan, and his girlfriend, Desiree.

I got the black gems in for one of the centerpieces today! I only need the square vases to come in and I'll be done!! Here's a picture of the centerpiece that I finished as well as the one for our sweetheart table:

Center of Attention

Matt and I have added three new centerpiece ideas so that we have a total of four different ones for the expected 20(ish) tables. Here is what we are going to do (complete with pictures):
1. low bowl with black gems and four round silver floating candles

2. globe vase with black glitter sand and a silver ball candle

3. square vase with silver diamonds and a white square floating candle

4. cylinder vase with silver pearls and three round white floating candles

And for our sweetheart table, we'll have a large low bowl with black and white gems and the leftover white and silver round floating candles.
