Thought long and hard about this one. The girls at my work laughed when I said I "finally" had my centerpiece idea, and that this was the one! I think I maybe can up with five previous plans to this one.
But with that, said, this really is the one. I found the idea on Ruffled blog, but I am going to change it to fit my taste. Luckily, since it involves, wood, saws, and drilling, I can ask my fiance to help without feeling bad. No tissue, glue guns or thread and needles here!
I am going to get some small simple frosted votives (if I can't find the right ones, I will add the effect to clear glass ones with a spray effect.) I think the most important element of this whole design is LED tealights instead of real ones, since my wedding is outside, from being a bridesmaid in other weddings I know that you can spend 20 minutes running around re-lighting tealights, and then finally succumbing to the fact that the wind IS going to blow them out. Plus Hobby Lobby has LED's 50% off ever other week. Can't beat that. I tried a pack of the votive styled ones, and they ran for four days straight before I gave up and assumed they were good enough to last the one night. They still work! (The package says will work for 72 hours)
