Illuminations 2007 Holiday Fragrances: Gingerbread Moist gingerbread, fresh from the oven and seasoned with brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, clove, vanilla and a hint of honey, has never been more tempting. Snowman_Illuminations

Illuminations 2007 Holiday Fragrances: Snowmen Tapers Set Stylishly elongated, these four will inspire plenty of fun before they melt away. A perfect hostess offering or last-minute gift, the set arrives in a vintage-style metal tin with four glass ice cube shaped taper holders.

 

I love Illuminations! They have some beautiful candles, holders, and decorative pieces. Great for a party, wedding or the home. For instance; these crystalline vessels, hand-blown in Poland, are topped with a beveled rim, angled outward to splendidly amplify the dancing flames within. Crafted with thick, light-catching glass walls, the sparkling cylinders encourage creative compositions. Submerge our realistic acrylic Ice, add holiday objets d'art or seasonal floral sprays, and top with premium floating candles in rich, vibrant hues. Hand-blown and shaped in a captivating swirl, our glass trees are created with a core of emerald glass embedded with molten gold accents, and covered with a luminous exterior of clear glass. Place them inside our clear cylinders or arrange elegant, candlelit groupings atop a mantel or buffet. Elegant Trees and Beveled Glass Set includes: 1 each Large and Small Beveled Glass Cylinders, 1 Beveled Glass Votive Cup, 1 Large Glass Tree, 2 Medium Glass Trees, 1 Small Glass Tree, 2 Ice Scatters and 2 Sets of 6 Mini Hunter Green Floaters.

Paper Roses .... Origami Flowers 

Looking for an alternative to fresh flowers?  If you like paper, or at least folding it : )  you could make origami flowers.  You could also host a craft party with your bridesmaids and friends to make your bouquets or centerpieces.  One great site to look at is  Lisa Shea's who makes colorful origami flowers that can be used as a floral alternative in bouquets and centerpieces.

There are a ton of paper options, so you’re almost guaranteed to find something that matches your wedding color scheme. I think a mix of textured and monocolor flowers would look awesome. Of course, if you’ve got all the time in the world, you could try making your own origami flowers with Origami Paper: 24 7" x 7" Sheets in 12 Colors (Origami) and long green pipe cleaners. Directions for various sorts of origami flowers can be found here, here, here, here, and here. If you want to go all out, spring for

Origami Flowers: Popular Blossoms and Creative BouquetsFolded Flowers: Fabric  or, Origami with a Twist of Silk Ribbon.  Just remember, practice, practice, practice.  Practice makes perfect  :  ).
