Instructions

1

Place a tablecloth over the table. Choose any color you like. Research whether your reception venue has circular or rectangle tables, or if it owns or rents tablecloths.

2

Put the square mirror in the center of the table.

3

Arrange the three cylinder vases on the square mirror. Space them equally apart.

4

Bend the flower stem at the base and very slowly place it into the bottom of the first vase. Wrap the stem in a spiral shape around the inside of the vase until you get to the top. Do this with approximately six to seven flowers. Slowly add water to the vase. Fill the second flower vase with loose flower petals. Add water, to make petals float. Place decorative items, such as rocks, shells or tulle, inside the bottom of the third vase, then add a few stems of your chosen flowers. Fill this vase with water, so your flowers stay fresh.

5

Place six clear candle holders around the square mirror. Use candle holders of many shapes. Add the votive candles inside these candle holders.

6

Arrange nine colored tea light holders around the table on the outside of the square mirror. Add the tea light candles to these holders.

7

Sprinkle flower petals throughout the center of the table for added effect.

8

Place your table settings on the table.

9

Fold the napkins in the middle of each table setting. Make a pocket in them for the wedding reception menu.
