Centerpiece Mockups and Wedding Band PIP

veijes

Here are two of the centerpiece mockups, let me know what you think. For the third  one we are doing carnations in a low bowl.



Still trying to decide on lemons in this one or just "black" water like the one above.



I also did a mockup of a corsage from a little piece of extra hydrangea, I thought it was cute....



And finally, the best part, my wedding band! This isn't the actual one, they had this one shipped in from Cali just to see it again before we paid for it. My e-ring is now being shipped to Cali and they will make a custom ring to perfectly fit in the nooks and crannys of my e-ring, exciting, but now I'm ringless for 3-6 weeks

I LOVE those centerpieces! I think they look very classy and elegant!
I have to say I kinda like the black water for both. Are you using real or fake flowers? If real, are you worried about them taking in the black at all?

Very pretty.  I also like the black but would  worry about the flowers taking in the color.  But this could also be really pretty in the end.

yeah that's an experiment I do with my preschoolers: we put white daisies in colored water to see what happens.  It doesn't take real long...  I would be careful with that!

I also like the black water....or maybe lemons uncut??  I have no idea what that would look like, but it might bring a more vibrant yellow.  Or, I know they probably aren't as cheap, but could you find black vases so you don't have to worry about your pretty white flowers changing color?

I really like them!  Ditto PPs about the black water but otherwise they look great!

Ditto PP regarding black vases. If you already have all of your clear vases there are definitely ways to make them black, like spray painting the inside. I personally prefer the black over the lemons.

The black water doesn't turn hydrangeas black or colored at all, I've tested this a few times, I even had the hydrangeas in the black water for a week and it only turned the stem darker after a few days so i don't have to worry about that. I know carnations take color really fast and I tried roses and they starting taking color after about 6 hours so we will probably stick with hydrangeas. I am also going to put damask tape on the cylinder one right above where the black water ends, it looks really sweet!

For some contrast, could you add a white table square under the black vase and a black table square under the lemon vase?  The lemons are getting lost in the damask print, and I think having some contrast under there will make everything pop a lot more.

I love the black water, but if you wanted to incorporate yellow I would have to agree with linzstyle and maybe do whole lemons for a more rich yellow color.

Everything looks great!

I agree w/ LS on the lemons - my eye is more drawn to the damask than the lemons. I like the concept of the lemons, but the black water with white hydrangeas really "pops". Looks good! I LOVE the flowers - so "ruffly"!

I agree with PP, it looks to busy with the lemon slices and the damask. I'd try either whole lemons or no lemons at all. That must be hard going 3 weeks without your ring! I forgot it at home one day when I took it off to bleach a shirt and it drove me crazy not having it on!
