The girl who is doing my flowers and centerpieces for my wedding is also a friend of mine and she really wants
its your wedding, BUT, mirrors make a great impact, they sparkle and they will double the light if you have candles on them or double the color if you have flowers on them.
and mirrors are back! take a look at any home decor magazine, they are coming back. all different shapes and sizes!
what you should do is look at what she wants to do, have her make up a couple of sample centerpieces for you to see and then make up your mind!
p.s. just saw your additional comments - river rocks/twigs on a mirror? perfect! it will give the impression of a small pond of water! very artistic idea and very feng shui!
good luck with your wedding and may your marriage be full of love and happiness!
Reply:I think mirrors are fine,you should put some petals around the mirror so it doesn't stand out so much
Reply:Tell her you have trouble visualizing it and after you look at it, give her your honest opinion. It's all you can do.
Are you paying her or is she volunteering? If she is doing it on a volunteer basis, I think that you can allow her to have a little extra input since it's something that is clearly very important and a "gift" to you. If you are paying her, have it the way you like it.
Reply:I think mirrors can be very romantic-especially with candles or floating candles added. Just make sure you do something you love and want! So do a test one, and see if you like it, if not, then don't give in!
Reply:If you would rather not; tell her that. But I would give it a chance first and see what it looks like. Perhaps it is better looking than you think.
Reply:Like you said, see how it looks before you make up your mind. You might have one picture in your head, but she might be thinking of somehting completely different.
Personally, I love the mirror effect. It might have been an 80's thing, I really don't remember (besides those big ugly panelled mirrors on the wall) but they're everywhere now, too. I see little mirrors in all the bridal magazines, on scrapbook pages, on dining room tables, all over!
Once you see it, if you still hate it, don't let her pressure you into it. See what she's talking about, then let her know. If she's a true friend, she'll care more about you being happy with what she creates than she will about the mirrors.
Reply:well u can have the mirrors and them u can have sumthing real modern as well. Combine the 2 and see wat u get. Im sure the girl just wants to do the best for u and is trying real hard to work things out for the best. u can see wat u like and dont like then u can tell her to get rid of the dislikes. the mirror idea is not so outdated.
Best of Luck
Reply:I don't like the mirrors. You should have what you want. Thank her for her input and then suggest what it is you want. In your decor of woodsy nature the mirror wouldn't work as well as something else maybe a small woven grass place mat or a wicker tray.
Reply:No, I don't think mirrors are 80s-ish ~ they are used all the time to add elegance! HOWEVER, I would not use them for your centerpieces! It is different if you are having a clear glass vase full of roses with a few votives, then fine.....BUT NOT with river rocks and twiggy pots. Yes, you are right on that....it won' look right. Keep it woodsy. It sounds nice. Good luck!
Reply:I actually think that mirrors sound lovely. But if you don't want them, just tell her. Don't get into a long discussion about it, just tell her you'd like to try something else.
Reply:I think, if done correctly, with river rocks... it would be quite lovely. It would tie in with your theme, mirrors are often used to represent water in, like, diaramas and what not.
I dont think they are outdated at all... if done correctly. I went to a wedding this past weekend that was mirrors with a candle in the middle surrounded by fake rose petals. THAT is dated!
Reply:I really like them
Reply:Yeah I think it'll kinda look tacky,but who knows if it fits with the centerpieces and looks good with them then go for it!It is your special day so don't be afraid to say NO!
Reply:I like the idea, but you should have whatever you want; don't let her pressure you into anything.
Reply:mirrors are actually quite popular right now, but I'm with you, I don't care for the look. I am sure it would look just as good with out the mirrors. But look at it from a few different styles, who knows what might catch your eye. Good luck
Reply:Mirrors can be very stylish and elegant but definately see what it looks like first. Ultimately, it is your wedding and if you don't like it, just say so, and you don't have to have it. I'm sure your friend is just trying to make your centrepieces look fabulous.
Reply:mirrors sound beautiful. but deff see what it looks like first who knows you may like it. and if not its you and your husband that have the final say so in it.
Reply:I think the idea was not bad at all.But, its your wedding day,only once in a life time,so make your own decision,dont let something to ruin your life forever.
Reply:At least see it first. Because actually mirrors are still used under lots of centerpieces. They give a little sparkle and interest to the table.
