Centerpiece Help!

So my MOH and I have starting making centerpieces for my reception (we need 20 of them!) and need some help because we don't think it's enough for a 60" round table.


 It stands at about 9" tall and is about 3" in diameter. We made them with silk flowers and a cylinder vase from the dollar store!

What else should we have with this on the table?

    That's really pretty! How about just some simple tealight or votives?

    Yeah, the only thing I can think of is votives around the base and maybe a mirror on the bottom, which will make it feel bigger.

    We are using a similar style vase and setting them on a 12" round mirror (renting) and placing votive candles around them.

    Are you having some kind of table runner or fabric square under them?  That would also probably help the whole centerpiece look bigger.

    I think that that is perfect! You could also switch it up and get some sort of branch or curly thing for some of the centerpieces to make them appear taller. Otherwise I think what pp suggested, the mirror and votives would be perfect. GL!

    ditto apnk, If you had a square or circle of fabric under it for color and then you could sprinkle additional petals over it (if you didn't want to do the votive route).

    Also, I might go with a smaller/narrower ribbon for the bow.  I think the size you have on there just overwhelms the rest of it and in proportion makes the CP appear to be smaller than it probably is.
