The problem is that there is no "rest of my decor" yet! I'm trying to settle on something so I can get a theme going. i like the taupe with silver & red- we'll see...

I'm either going to carry on the plane in boxes, or ship to Mariana ahead of time...

I'd suggest filling vases with floral foam and moss. you could also do reall orchids from the home depot.

I agree with velvet seeimg too heavy but it didn't photograph that way at all. As long as it's cruched you may be okay. I think that will turn out beautifully!

Are you intending to use tealights or votives?

Jeff really wants to do real flowers, I'm worried about finding them. We thought about ordering from the wholesaler posted somewhere on this forum, but you have to order a ton!

I'm undecided on the fabric for the runners, I like the velvet- but it's mostly the red color I'm most interested in.

I definitely will do votives- I just didn't have any at home, so the tealights were just for demonstration.

You can get one at an arts and crafts store so that it looks flat on the table and if you pick out a really good one it won't look like felt material.

That's a good idea- I'll check into that!

Jeff was helping me! We really like the orchids too. But, i would like to find something to do with the glitter grass- it's just so funky! Maybe for our AHR if we do one...
