Anyone have a nice idea for a round table? Need about 8 of them. Don’t want anything that has to be done fresh hence flowers are out.

Candlesticks or a combination of different heights of colored candles.

Here’s an idea: per table, get 3 cylindrical vases of different heights: 1 tall, 2 short. Fill them with a single color bead— I’ll post a link from amazon. Fill with water, and float tea lights at the top. Place the 3 vases on a mirror tile in the center of the table.

I will tell you though, it might be a lot easier just to do flowers! Any semi-upscale supermarket with a flower section will be able to order stuff in advance and even arrange it in a vase for you. About 6 weeks ago, I was in charge of centerpieces for a Sheba brachos and did just that. I walked in, told them my color scheme, and we picked out 4 ready made bouquets. It took me about 10 minutes. Most Whole Foods have nice floral departments. (In my area, I find that the nicer supermarkets have very nice flowers, on par with flower shops, for much less).

I can’t seem to post a link to the beads I am
Talking about, but on Amazon look for “pearl vase fillers”— you can get them in tons and tons of colors

You can do interactive centerpieces...the artistic or creative element up to you, but basically, put writing utensils and paper/cardstock/notecards or something in the center with directions to leave "Brachos or advice," or "thoughts and wishes" for the couple (depending on the crowd.)
After the sheva brachos compile notes and give to couple.

#1- fake flowers submerged with candle
From dollar store
Tall cylinder vase
Fake flowers - cherry blossoms work well.
Colored glass beads
Wide thick flat candles

Place beads bottom of vase
Stick in 2-3 stems flowers (cut to size)
Fill with water
Float candle on top. Light.

No one could tell the flowers were fake.

#2 - got this idea here - buy glass heels. Fill with mints. Have card - Mint to be in a Mazeldik shoe. Was adorable. Everyone had s good laugh. And it was done petty.

#3 - pictures of chassan and kallah I’m pretty framed.

Can you get cake platters from the gemach
You can put miniatures pastries on each for an edible centerpiece

Buy potted orchids in advance! They sell them at Trader Joe's for not that much. Maybe $13? You can fancy up the ceramic pot with organza or scatter tea lights in glass holders (the dollar store sells them) around the pots.

Depending how late in the week it is:
Take a few good pictures at the wedding and have them printed at Walgreens or something. Buy cheap frames (2-3 per table) and put in pictures from the wedding.

I have these vases and a couple different color feathers. It's super easy to make and looks very cool.

You can get nice balloon arrangements as a centrepiece we’ve had them few times in the past

I've used beautiful wine racks as centerpieces and it displayed the expensive wine that was bought for the occasion anyway.

I saw something really cool. You but a kit. You print a monogram on a special paper and transfer it onto a candle. It looks pretty in the center of tables. You can do a cluster of 3 candles diff heights
