Pomanders
The pomanders for the table scapes consists of softball size wiffle balls, Hiawatha moss, 35 silk rose heads and a lot of hot glue.
We first glued the moss over the entire ball. Then we glued the roses over the moss. Leaving a open spot to attach the ball to the candlestick.To prevent the ball from falling off the candlestick. We glued a rolled up piece of card stock inside one of the holes of the wiffle ball then we glued the rolled up piece of card stock inside the candle cup.
Candle sticks
We didn't have enough pillar candle sticks, so are inexpensive fix was gluing canning lids to the top of taper candlesticks. To give the candlesticks a heavier look we glued the canning rings to the lids and covered the rings with black ribbon.
Runners
For the rose petal table runner we used this tutorial
Here and simply added more petals to make it wider.
All candles we used were electric. We bought them after Christmas very inexpensive.
Card Cage
For the card cage we simply spray painted an old decorative birdcage gold and glued black ribbon around the cage. We used to same Christmas ornaments masks we had used for the aisle markers. We painted the masks and silk roses with gold spray paint. (We did take the roses apart and paint each layer of petals after they were dry we reassemble them.) Then we tied and gold wired ribbon into a bow on the ring on top of the cage and glued the painted roses and leaves underneath the bow the gold birds were clipped on either side of the bow to the leaves. For the bottom of the cage we cut out a circle of black card stock slightly smaller than the cage. We centered gold sticker letters to spell out the word "cards" to the card stock. Then centered the card stock circle and glued it to the bottom of the cage. For a more personal touch we put their names on the black ribbon next to the mask. To make it easy we printed out their names in a pretty font put a piece of wax paper between a piece of satin tape and the paper and traced over it with a gold paint marker. We removed the tape and put it on the ribbon.
