Reception Centerpieces...Ocean Themed

I dont know if you have seen submerged flowers but they can be beachy. You will need large cylinder vases and a beachy flower. Use sand or seashells at the bottom. You can even dye the water blue or something...

I think the picture is a gel candle but you can google submerged flowers and do it with water and a floating candle...

Also Google (select images) beachy centerpieces and all kind of cute things come up.

I've also seen where people will use a nice fish bowl or just a low round glass vase & put sand or seashells at the bottom. You can fill it up with water & put a floating candle on top for some glow too if you'd like...I'm using the submerged flower idea for some of the reception centerpieces.

How about something invlonving sand dollars or dried star fish?

Here are a few I like. We are leaning towards the white orchid.

Oohh! Ocean theme!

Some more...

Just a few more!

I have a "nautical" theme going... we're doing floating gardenias in a fishbowl with glass pebbles in ivory/champagne , tea candles around the bowl, and scattering shells around that. I'm adding a navy accent by using our favors (ribbon bookmarks with ship wheel and starfish charms) wrapped around the napkins as a napkin ring

Wow...amazing!Thanks for all your help ladies....the wheels are spinning now!

If you are looking for glass candle holders, try the Dollar Tree! Everything is a dollar and they will ship to your nearest store!

I am getting 100 for our destination wedding and having them shipped to my W.C.

Interested in the discussion. We are having a destination wedding in Mexico on Feb 24, and a month later we are having our at-home reception. We cannot have sand or lit candles...so we are kind of at a loss, but these pictures sure have helped give me some new ideas to try out and play with. I also shopped a lot of clearance sales at random stores like Target, Walmart, Michael's, Hobby Lobby, local stores as well for glass wear, glass stones, rocks, shells, etc. I have bought a variety of different jars and vases however I was at a standstill with what we were planning on doing so thank you for the inspiration so I can get these accomplished and off of my shoulders!
