My parents are celebrating their 40th on the 21st of this month. They are having a second wedding, and asked me to "take care of" the centerpieces for the reception. This is what I came up with:

mat and coasters for the candle holders





Detail of the coaster



The candle holders, hand painted by my friend and business partner Jaime Manlett.



Detail of how the knotwork will show through the bowl. The bowl gets filled with water, with 2 floating heart shaped candles in it- one red, one white. (A note- I'm sure the critique I will recieve is that I should have made the big mat diamond shaped to flow better with the smaller candle holders. I thought of that after I put the whole thing together... Live and learn, I guess!)





Hope they like it!! I'm pretty proud of it. I love the way the cross turned out!!
