Anytime someone on here is looking for a planner/designer on here I am referring them to you! You are awesome.
No worries!! I just figured you were busy :). And thanks for the compliemnt - always nice to receive. :)

RE: the fishbowl ... I really think it just depends on WHAT you put in it and how you surround it that keeps it from looking cheesey. One wedding, I used fish bowls, filled the bottom with salt half-way up. Then I placed lime-green mums in a circle above the salt and put a small class of water with gerber daisies sticking out of the top. The arrangement was so different that you really didn't even notice that it was a fishbowl.

I think the same thing would work with your turqouise blue water and floating colorful gerbers - or you could do blue colored sand and press gerbers so they face on the outside - that would look cool and different as well.

I'm not very good at how to attach photos (I tried several times), but here's what they looked like (to give you an idea).

That is so cute! Not at all what I was thinking= not cheesy. LOL. I am from the midwest so I thought I had seen every fishbowl and mirror centerpiece there was~ Here are some other things I like that I have pulled from this site and others.

I think you have great style and you don't even need to ask anyone what you should do :):). The most economical version (of course) is the first photo you posted, but I also think the second photo posted shouldn't be too pricey!! When you get into orchids and lilies, of course, prices start to go up :). (loved seeing your dress and absolutely adore that veil!!! wink.gif:).
