So I made a mock-up of my apple centerpiece idea. We went to a local farm on Sunday, and bought apple cider donuts, hot apple cider, white mini pumpkins, some funky squash, and this...
I didn't think I was going to love it as much as I do. So that's exciting, the FI thinks its a little too plain and he was trying to come up with ideas on what to do to make it stand out more. Like something around the base? Or maybe we can add small flowers on the table? Any ideas?
I think I am going to add brown ribbon around the center of the basket. And I have to figure out table numbers or names. We were playing with the idea of trying to find a different kind of apple for each table and naming the table after each apple. But that sounds difficult.
So many options!

I like it-- natural, "rustic", simple. I think a satin-y brown ribbon would dress it up, maybe even around the rim. You could also put a stick of some sort (or an actual tree-stick) into the basket, propped up by the apples, that has a little flag (leaf-shaped maybe?) making it a table number thingy. Plus, I'm assuming you'd put the little votives around it somewhere on the table ? Just an idea! :)
ReplyDeletemary and I are the same person. just wanted to reconfirm that notion, in case anyone forgot.
