Hi all,
I don't think I've posted on this board before, so hi!
I was hoping someone might have some ideas on how I can use some silk wildflowers and tulips that I bought from Michael's. We were originally going for a casual feel for the wedding, so when I saw these on an awesome deal I snatched them up. Now fiance has decided he wants a more formal feel so we're wondering what to do with all these flowers we bought. We both still really like them but aren't sure how to make them work for centerpieces.
The major problem is that while I love the flowers I don't like the way the stems look, so I've been trying some different things to hide them. Here are some things that we've tried.
What do you guys think about these? Or do you have any suggestions for something else we can do with them? We are also thinking about putting a mirror underneath the vases and some candles and using a Sangria/wine colored tablecloth
Thanks bunches everyone!

Idea 1-Glass beads, wrap stemms with ribbon (sorry it's blurry)

Idea 2-Fill entire vase with beads

Cover Vase with cloth/paper
