I'm so excited by these! My FH is a welder and there were some off-cuts from work that were just going into trash, so he brought them home and showed me his wicked-awesome idea for centrepieces! He's going to weld them together to make a teardrop-type look and put them on a simple metal base. Then we'll hang lace covered votives from the centre.

This really helped me to solidify our sort of "theme" - metal and lace. My colours are blue-silver-white, which will play nicely with the metallic look. Also, no flowers! I'm not huge on flowers but I had no idea what else to do, so this will save us a ton of money and still look stunning. AND my dress is all lace overlay. Things are coming together!
