orchid table centrepieces

[~Gee_Whizzy~]

Negrita, did you do the centrepieces yourself of did you get a wedding decorator/florist to organise them??
How long did the orchids last for in there? Just as our wedding is so small, I will be the one putting it all together.

check out this one ladies.. what do you think?? I think they're perfect...

I was lazy and got them done! but for your wedding, i think you would be fine in doing them yourself - the centre pieces i had lasted the whole duration of the wedding and im assuming they would've been set up before hand so a good 12+ hours. - i know i've got a pic of my centrepieces somewhere, i'll see if i can find them for you!!. they are very similar to the last link you posted, only the vases i had were really tall

Can be done with fresh orchids, we used them for a large event I organised a few years ago, suspended them in water, pebbles in the bottom of the vase and a long wide green leave was wraped around the top of the vase. It is a stunning way to display flowers and I love it

You can always speak to a Florist and ask about them and just say you want one for a gift, because as soon as you mentioned the word wedding, double the price

Are you buying the Orchids from a florist? What if you went in and explained what you wanted to do with them, and they would hopefully tell you how long they think they will last, and possibly any other little tricks, like how to weigh the flowers down etc..
eta: oopsy! I see Beema just said the same above...typing slow with 1 hand at the moment lol
