another brave DIY attempt

And of course after the invitations are out, we forgot how many problems it has brought to us, we went for another DIY project attempt. The centerpiece! This time, John's idea. We both decided to go with a bowl of water with floating candles & flower petals to save cost. John said leave it to him to handle this project. Me? Worried and happy at the same time. Happy that he is willing to be involve with wedding planning. Worried that ..... what do guys know about weddings?? So again, many visits to the store and fights later....
this is what he came up with. Okay, it looks pretty easy but wait till you see this.....
the led lights shining from the bottom of the glass bowl!!!
he totally made the led lights himself.... where later we found out you can just buy them ready (cost the same with making one your own) Result from this DIY attempt: failed & many fights. The centerpiece does looks pretty but when adding up the cost, it would cost the same as having a simple flowers arrangement as centerpiece. We decided it's not worth the stress, time and money over this. We obediently handed the centerpiece project back to our florist.
