DIY Fabric Flower Topiary Centerpiece Idea / Inspiration
I also thought I would make fabric flowers since my mom and I are seamstresses, we have a lot of scrap fabric. I didn't end up making them all though. I bought yards of fabric flower trim (1.5" and 2.5" big) then separated them, cutting off any mesh they're attached to. I did this for every colors besides the nude / taupe color. For those I bought yardage of mesh fabric with the flowers throughout it and separated them as well. Once they were all cut out, I laid them out together in bunches. I wanted to make sure I was evenly distributing the colors.
I liked using the turned over candlestick holders because they have a wide bottom (as you can see in the picture below) to help the poms balance better. I also used two slightly taller crystal candle holders I found at a thrift store. They worked okay but like I said I preferred the dollar store ones.
In the end, the result is really pretty and can totally be customized to match your events color scheme.
For my parents reception, there was 25+ tables and each tables centerpiece was set up differently. I bought a lot of different candlestick holders in both crystal and others I spray painted silver. I also bought crystal clear vases from the dollar store and thrift store and painted them inside with Krylon Looking Glass Silver-Like Aerosol Spray Paint and adorned those with shorter mauve colored and bleached peacock feathers.
To keep the paint on the inside of the vases, I taped plastic bags around the outside. Since it was a silver wedding, we had to use silver / gray but we paired that with dusty rose / mauve pink and ivory with pearls to create an overall theme. To keep all the pieces together I put them on top of silver platters with strings of pearls.

Mauvelous Sweet Fifteen Quinceanera Theme
For this theme I've included black as the neutral as inspired by the above gown. Adding black lace is a pretty touch especially with roses. If you can't find mauve roses then try "dusty rose" which should compliment any mauve very well.
Tea Party Sweet Fifteen Theme
Tea with the Queen! Yes, if by queen you mean the Quinceanera girl because she is the queen for a day. This is a classy affair, pinkies up. For decorations use teacups, tea pots, lots of flowers, lace and pearls. I forgot to mention it in a picture but it be cute to add gloves to your outfit. Food for this occasion can be quite simple. Think finger foods, petite sandwiches, biscuits, crumpets even and plenty of desserts.
For this theme I chose a Champagne/Blush very pastel colored dress and paired it with brighter bolder colors like yellow and wine red. You can do the same. You don't have to be so matchy-matchy. Don't limit yourself to just literal flowers either, try to use floral prints too, whether in dresses or in like tablecloths for example.
For favors give out something like stainless-steel Tea Infusers. If you want to get more specific with your tea party theme you can go the Alice in Wonderland route or easily do vintage.
