If I had to guess, it is just floral wire wrapped around the stems to create a "garland" and then wrapped around the vase.

The vases look like they don't have any water in them.

Here are some more pics. I guess the orchids are in the vases but lay across the table instead of standing up.
It won't like to the site but I saved it to my album. Here it is.

It's from this photographer's website. He has photos from other angles too. It's the last featured wedding on the website.

To me it looks like a branch of orchids coming out of and arched over the top of a flat round vase, reaching over to the next branch coming out of the next vase and so on etc.

yes, i finally see it now that there are more pics! Chat Icon

i have to figure out how to tweak it with only one mirrored charger on each table. maybe smaller round vases and do 2..

or maybe lay them on the tray through the various candle holders

What shape are the mirrors that you are using? Could you do a cirlce of small vases on the edge of the mirrors?

Re: ok, help me figure this centerpiece out

i llove the rectangular ones. so im thinking long rectangular (8in x 24in)

with 6-8 small votives

three various size tall votive holders (floating candles)

and then 3 or so branches of orchid intertwined laying on the glass. im also doing purple lighting so it will hopefully reflect nicely. and the orchids are various colors.
