Question on using round mirror as base for centerpiece...?
I have 14" mirrors for my wedding tables to use as centerpieces but wondered if anyone had elevated them a little using a base of some sort. Anyone have any ideas? I thought about raising them about an inch or so ....What do you all think?
If you are using mirrors I would say to add some candles so that the mirrors actually serve a purpose. You could place a crystal bowl with floating flowers and floating candles on top of them but I don't see the point to raising them up. The mirrors are great to reflect candlelight.

Decorate Your Wedding With Mirrors
Every bride is looking for that special design element to set her wedding apart. One idea that you may not have considered before is mirrors. With their reflective quality, elegance, and drama, mirrors can be the perfect decorating tool for your wedding.
There are numerous ways in which mirrors can be used to set a tone. They can be hung on the wall, certainly, but mirrors can also be incorporated into centerpieces, and even used on fabric. This surprisingly versatile element can do so much to spice up a wedding reception. Mirrors are an old favorite trick of wedding planners because they have the power to visually expand a space, reflect other decorations and increase their impact, and to add glamor to any wedding.
The centerpieces are a great place to think about using mirrors. They can be rented and used to make a low budget centerpiece appear to be much more grand and full. A tried and true trick is to set a floral centerpiece surrounded by candles on a round mirror in the middle of each reception table. The candlelight will look spectacular dancing in the reflective surface of the mirror, and the entire display will appear to be larger than it is.
For a modern wedding, try setting centerpieces on mirrored boxes. They are a sleek and stylish way to add levels to your table decorations. Keep the floral arrangements on the mirrored boxes sleek and contemporary. Tall clear cylinders of submerged flowers would be gorgeous. The mirrored boxes would also be great for a Winter Wonderland wedding. They are an ideal base for centerpieces created from white birch branches, draped with dazzling crystal teardrops that sparkle like bridal jewelry.
Mirrors can also be used above the reception tables. For a cool retro wedding, rent '70s inspired disco balls to light up the night. Use small disco balls over each table, or rent one giant one to hang over the dance floor and watch your guests boogie the night away. The reflective mirrors on the ball send beams of light dancing around the room, which creates a fabulous twinkling effect on crystal bridal jewelry and any metallic embroidery on your gown. An alternative is the chic and elegant look of art deco style mirrored chandeliers. These are very cool and work beautifully for a cocktail reception.
Certainly, mirrors can be hung on the reception walls. Large ones in ornate gilt frames are a nice accent when you are trying to create an opulent atmosphere. Mirrors can also be placed strategically around the reception site to make the space appear larger and to give it better light. Even simple mirrors with plain edges can be used for this. Think about situating them in places where they will also visually multiply the number of floral arrangements to make your decorations appear more lush.
One place where you might not think about using mirrors is on fabric, but it can be quite lovely. Tiny mirrors are often embedded into traditional Indian fabrics, and the catch the light in a most festive manner. This special fabric can be used to create delightful table runners to layer over the standard white tablecloths at the wedding venue. Once you get the hang of it, you will see that there are in fact numerous ways in which mirrors can be used to enhance your wedding.
