Lightbulb Centerpiece help

I am planning on using mason jars for my centerpiece with water and river rock on the bottom, and a daisy flower floating in it. I am using the mason jars because we have a whole closet full and thats much cheaper than buying new glass bowls. I am just confused on what else to put around it. Just the mason jar would be very simple, what I'm looking for, but also very empty. The tables will be bigger and not the usual 4 to a table. Does anyone have any ideas for what else to put around it?

you could have a ribbon tied around the neck of each mason jar, and maybe have daisy heads scattered around the mason jars as well. Another idea is to have a few mason jars at each table (possibly with votive candles as well). Another idea is to get fabric that matches your colors and use as an accent under the mason jars.

I think the fabric swatch under the jars would add both color and interests...scattered daisies would be a great touch too.

You can have votive candles or tea lights around it. The glow will be beautiful

Place the entire piece on mirrors as well. This gives the centerpiece a shape and the mirror sort of enlarges things.

Scattered daisies will be a lovely add as well. But dressing up the table is not all in the centerpiece. The color of the linens can add to the decor as well. Table settings also makes it beautiful. Even if it is simply putting a daisy head in a napkin at everyone's place.

I also saw on a tv show where a planner took ribbon in the wedding colors and used it as a table runner. This is a good idea because it sort of stretches out the centerpiece.

You can also get colored paper, put ribbon around the edge, and put them under the jars.

Hope these things help.
