I need ideas for table centerpiece for a dinner motzei shabbos. Flowers are too expensive and I need to prepare the hall before Shabbos so not good. The hall we're hiring has a restriction against candles (even when they're unlit), sparklers so they're out too. Any ideas, especially something that's not too complicated and look attractive would be good. I have about 12 round tables. preferably something classy and elegant, please?

How about fake flowers? A glass cylinder filled with water and one or two branches of fake orchids on each table or cylinders of varying heights looks very simple yet elegant. Some of these fake orchids look so real you would never know unless you touch them.

hmmm I dunno. Artificial flowers sound a bit cheap to me. It's a kind of things we have in the mikvah waiting room... Anyone else with other ideas?

Use LED lights instead of candles. You could do a large silk bloom (sorry, I know you dont' like fake flowers) with a wine glass upside down on top to create a dome, and an LED light on top. Like this
But with LED candles http://www.flashingblinkylight......html

I'm not a fan of fake flowers, either.
You can pick up cheap vases at the dollar store and a few bouquets of flowers (even from the supermarket) and make your own cheap flower centerpieces. Will the hall be locked over Shabbat? If yes, you can set up the flowers on Friday. Be sure to put the flower food in the water, and ask the person who works at the floral department for help in choosing fresh flowers and nice flower combinations.

cheap glass vases. fill with glass marbles, add some twigs sticking up out of the center. or:
floating led candles:

place them inside a clear, textured bowl. something with a texture like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Couronne.....+bowl
have them float in the bowl filled halfway with water. add food coloring to the water to make it purple, green, or blue. hopefully, the led lights will cast a colored glow on the tablecloth.

For my wedding, we decorated baskets, filled them with fruit, had the guests partake, and donated the leftovers to a food pantry.
