All different styles as all different bodyshapes. 2 had strapless style, 2 had 1 shoulder style, 1 had sheer covering over shoulders.

On every table, I made some glittered candle holders in various shades of purple and pink, even a touch of red! We had the table numbers placed on mini wooden easels, which were also watercoloured.
