It was a great idea, though, and certainly easy for anyone to do. I just hope she didn’t try to eat the pencils, TeleriB!

In a grim DIY mood, I marched from the diner (Jersey girl!) to the strip mall, where I was sure I could make <i>something</i> out of components available at the CVS and WaWa. We had an autumn-themed reception. Fresh apples from the WaWa, index cards and yellow #2 pencils at the CVS, plus a fat black marker and tape. Numbers on two blank cards, tape to/around pencils, stick pencils in apples. One guest did indeed eat the apple on her table. At the rehearsal dinner, I realized that we didn’t have table numbers.

Those are fabulous. Mmmm...Brussels sprouts. Delish. But I would never have thought of using them in a centerpiece. Your florist was, indeed, most awesome. Wow, Riona! Those are fabulous.

Each featured a different vegetable, and we used the vegetable names as table names. I really really loved them, especially the brussels sprouts, peppers, and radishes. http://flickr.com/photos/rionam/195941988/in/set-72157594208071390/ http://flickr.com/photos/rionam/195942749/in/set-72157594208071390/ Because we like to cook, our awesome florist made vegetable centerpieces for us.

Of course, being the DIY queen, I'm going to simply make my own and not buy yours, mwahahahahaaaaa! But I bet you could really sell the idea to people. Mmmm...agua fresca as a centerpiece...I'm drooling. Once again, NtB, I stand slack-jawed in awe of your wisdom.

Looking at the first centerpiece makes me want to lose the flowers and pop in a ladle. Hey, there are edible centerpieces (choco-dipped fruit, cake, cupcakes, etc.) so why not a drinkable centerpiece? ...now, to market my idea...
