They use local and seasonal produce when possible, plant trees, have a apple orchard, make all there own breads, chutneys and preserves and have just got a bee hive! So when I was asked to think of table centres for a wedding couple, my immediate response was plants! When this was turned down as they really wanted flowers... I started to think instead of me going out to buy vases what containers did riverstation have? Tin cans! The kitchen staff thought I was crazy!... How could I possibly turn a tomato tin in to something good enough for a wedding... Well I did and here is how I did it...
I collected as many different sized tins as I could, including tea tins and bottles...
I then covered them in old wrapping paper and used spray mount to stick them on. I often seem to accumulate a lot of ribbon in my job, so I dug some out and wrapped this around also..
Dun..ah...the finished product!
And on the tables for the day..

Since, I have discovered a few people using cans for flowers and food but these must be my favorite to date!
