She has a variety of styles that are sure to please!
Table-Number Centerpiece
Here is a great little idea from MarthaStewart.Com!
Enamel pails overflowing with fresh green and white hydrangeas are charming for an informal reception table. The buckets do double duty as table numbers with the addition of numeral stickers. Self-adhesive vinyl numbers are available on the Internet in many sizes, colors, and typefaces. Tiny pails that echo the shape of the centerpiece are filled with pistachios and prop up the place card at each setting. The rim of each pail has been colored with black permanent marker to match the black numeral and the text on the place cards.
Coffee Bean Centerpiece
I am completely and utterly obsessed with coffee, but that is not the only reason I love this centerpiece idea. Adding coffee beans to a centerpiece adds texture and interest to flowers. The candles resting in a pile of coffee beans also add a nice touch and incorporate well with the centerpiece. When the candles are lit, the aroma of coffee is sure to fill the air. Yum…. Plus, adding the candle design will save you a lot of money in the way of flowers!

Ribbon Seating Display
For an all-frills setup with little fuss, slip seating cards in between rows of ribbons. Cover foam boards (ours are 20 by 30 inches) with satin and grosgrain ribbons; randomly layer narrow ribbons over wide ones. Pin the ribbon ends to backs of boards, inserting straight pins at an angle to secure. Slip in envelopes by their flaps or bottoms.
Bridal Shower Idea~ Purse Seating Cards
Want to make a big impression as the hostess for a bridal shower? Then you have to have these cute little seating cards. These purses may not hold guests’ belongings, but they’re a charming way to designate their seats (table numbers are written inside). To make these cute little purses, use 3 1/2-by-5-inch folded seating cards (we used pink for women, brown for men). Unfold cards. With a utility knife, cut 2 slits wide enough for ribbon in the fold, 1 inch from each edge. Insert ends of 3-inch-long ribbon into slits; it will stay in place without gluing or tying.
