Beach
Themed Wedding Centerpieces
by
Rose Smith
Decorate
your tables with some fun-loving beach-themed centerpieces. Each centerpiece
is easy to put together, so anyone can do them.
1) Buy
some children's pail and shovel sets. Use these as your centerpieces.
You can fill them with fresh fruit or candies (lifesavers would be
perfect). You could also fill them with sand and place several sea
shells placed on top.
2) Buy
large, pillar candles with sea shells embedded in the wax. Set the
candles in a low, flat dish that contains a bed of sand.
3) Fill
clear glass bowls with colored water. Layer the bottom with sea shells
and "starfish" (fake of course). Float a candle on the top.
4) Another
bowl idea. Fill with water and tint it blue with food coloring. Buy
some of those fake tropical fish you see in novelty stores. Float
them in the water.
5) Last
idea with the bowls :) Place colored sand in the bottom of the bowl
(available at craft stores). Fill with water. Tint it a light blue
if desired. Place a "castle" on the bottom of the bowl (you
can find items such as this at any pet store that sells fish). Add
a bit of fake seaweed for affect.
6) See
if you can track down some lighthouses to use as centerpieces. Check
out your local hobby store.
7) Make
seashell candles. Use large seashells and fill with melted beeswax.
Insert a wick in the center and let set.
8) Create
colored sand bottles. Get some unique shaped bottles and pour colored
sand into them. You can make some very interesting designs using different
colors of sand (which is available at craft stores). Insert a taper
candle into the top of the bottle.
