What you'll make
Picture each table with three soft white bottles tied with twine and lace, a single white poppy leaning out of two of them and a candle glowing in the third as the evening gets darker. Guests pick them up to look closer, and nobody guesses they started out as empties from the venue bar. About $12.24 a table.
