Centrepiece trial run.

So.. this is a trial run of our centrepieces. The pencils in the pots will be cake pops btw ;) Haha! We're not sure quite how we'll end up attaching the pinwheels to the sticks as we HATE the look of them just glued onto the stick. They look so ugly from the back like that. We're also not sure if we're going to keep the bamboo sticks natural or spray paint them a metallic silver. I kind of like the natural bamboo but not 100% sure yet.

The white star shaped thing next to it is a light. We have 2 of those per table, too. We're also going to have a couple of toadstool tea lights (cutting the wicks off so they can't be lit), blue polka dot menus, red polka dot napkins with a blue pom pom napkin ring, tiny wee bottles with pinwheels on sticks and a tag with each name on for the place names, a few ultra mini versions of the pinwheel you can see in the back on my wall (in place of scatter crystals), some lit tea lights and blue chair sashes with red pom poms hanging down from the bow at the back. We want to have quite a busy look to the middle of the table as the setup we're going for leaves a LOT of space in the middle.

All of the pinwheels have been cut, they just have to be assembled and placed on sticks. But that'll need to wait until we've decided how we're going to do the sticks and how we're going to attach them. And for a time when it's not after 4am! I have my sister and nephew over tomorrow (well, today!) and we want to get some photos of the baby so I should probably clean up the resulting mess and get some sleep... Colin and the puppy have been in bed for hours.
