Centerpiece Flowers
Here are some very poor quality pictures taken with my cell phone camera of some grocery store flowers. The colors are a bit off, because in the store they were the right color purple. Anyway, this is just to show we could easily pick up bouquets of flowers to do the simple one flower Martha Stewart centerpieces Nicole likes. The bouquets are 3 for $10 and when going with the smaller flowers, there are about 12-15 per bouquet. The bigger the flower, the less you get. I don't know if buying flowers like this is less expensive at a flower shop, but I doubt it. Someone could check into that. Also, we should start collecting small vases and glasses because we will need a lot of them. Assuming one next to each setting, we would need about 200? Or, one between each setting (1 per every 2 settings) we would need about 100 (I think that would be a little sparse, though). The Martha Stewart pictures show 2 per setting, I think. Then we would need about 400 glasses/vases. I know it sounds overwhelming, but when everything is divided by table and broken down it is really quite manageable. We don't need all the same kind of vase, or glass, after collecting them we would separate them into similar styles and group them that way. We would also need some sort of racks or boxes with dividers (like the old beer bottle boxes) to set them up in. Then on Friday we could get them set up ahead of time and store them in Grandma's basement.

Wherever we get them from, we will have to order them in advance to make sure we have enough when the time comes. I'm not sure if grocery store flower shops do that or not. Do we know if the tables are round or rectangular? If they are round, we could do fewer vases in the center.
