Finding Supplies
These simple ideas will help you produce charming centerpieces for your guests. Take a trip to your local craft store and purchase vases, various sizes of glass cylinders or whatever item you would like to hold the water. You will also need floating candles. They can be found in various sizes and different styles. If you are crafty you can make these yourself by purchasing block wax, molds and wicks.
Creating Themed Designs
Candle centerpieces are versatile and can be used in various themes. To produce a romantic centerpiece choose a smaller glass container set on a bed of roses with white floating candles. If your wedding theme is spring with soft bursts of color, place a mirrored tile on the table with a taller glass cylinder with a daisy submerged in the bottom or sprinkle daisy petals on the table, and inside the water place pastel glass rocks and a white candle. Beach scenes are equally easy to create. Start with a round mirror tile, place sand on the mirror along with scattered seashells. Inside the glass container use sea foam green and shades of blue glass rocks or sea shells with a white candle.
The ideas are endless when creating the perfect centerpiece for your reception. Candles produce a romantic glow and will be breathtaking amongst your guest. Plus, the soft glow that is illuminated from these simple creations spark conversation around the table.
