DIY centerpiece: Grouping of Vases

I haven't featured a DIY centerpiece in a while and just could resist posting this one...

***just to let you know, I did not do these centerpieces, everything was provided by the bride and her coordinator.  Carmele, the bride put everything together, and Courtney of After the Engagement added the final touches.***

What you will need:

• sets of 3 clear glass cylinder vases of different heights (i.e. 6" tall, 9" tall and 10"tall)
• sand and/or rocks and or glass stones
• cymbidium orchid stems
• floating candles (1 for each vase)
• petals or dendrobium orchids for the tabletop
• votive candles

What you need to do:

• fill each vase with the materials you desire (i.e. sand, candle and orchid or cymbidium orchid stem with rocks, glass stones, etc.)
• set out at reception
• fill vases with water, leave about 3" left at the top
• pop in the floating candle
• add votives to the table tops along with petals or dendrobium orchids
• light candles and you're done!

You will end up with amazing centerpieces that look like this...

These centerpieces are so beautiful and can be done on a budget while still looking amazing.  Good job Carmele and Courtney!
