Wedding Decoration
My First Eiffel Tower Centerpiece

OK, I put the first tower together because I was dying to see it. It will definitely take some tweeking. Kind of like my artificial christmas tree, I can't rest for 2 or 3 days until it is all perfect.

The pink is not exactly the color I was looking for but I suppose it will do since I have about $500 worth. Anyway, what do you ladies think??

They are very pretty! I think the feathers need to be spread out a little more on the bottom layer but otherwise they are perfect! Great job!

tiffbride10, i added a picture of the bouquet holder i used. they make ones that fit perfectly in these vases but they are twice as expensive so we bought these and are going to use clay around the top to make them fit.

futuremrst, you're funny! i feel like a need a beer anytime i start on wedding projects (it makes me think clearer lol). i am looking into different light sources right now. lithium batteries and LEDs. hoping those work because i will need 48 floralytes and the cheapest i found them is $3 a piece! google "throwies" and you will see the DIY lights i'm talking about.

Im doing these also!  My feathers are going to be red though!  I love them, but I agree that there needs to be more feathers!  Are you happy with them so far?

I love them.  The fuller ones look great, and the pink and white are beautiful together.  Great job so far.

thanks ladies! this is one of the things i am most excited about! on first glance, i thought i would never have these. they are very expensive if you don't do your research. after all is said and done, they are costing about $30 a piece and i am positive that i can sell most if not all of the supplies afterwards so we can get a little money back. :):):)

michellef1122, i am completely happy with them! but i am very particular so i am going to have to start them pretty far in advance so i can get them just right.
