We are going to key west to have out wedding. Usually traditonal weddings, one person takes home the centerpiece. Obviously with everyone flying in I doubt they would want the floral centerpiece. The wedding will be held outdoors, so it will be hot! I wanted some suggestions on different beach themed centerpieces, one idea I was thinking about was having a bowl with water and seashells and having floating candles and flowers, anyone have any other suggestions. Something simple but unique!
I need help with centerpieces for my destination wedding~?
You could have various shapes and sizes of glass bowls filled with water, floating flowers and floating candles and/or glass bowls filled with sand, sea shells and a small pillar candle in the middle of each bowl (set up in the sand).
Or, you could get a little more creative and fill small square glass vases with sand and sea glass in your wedding colors or just blue and green to go with the beach theme with a small pillar candle in the middle. Or if you want a tasty centerpiece which could also serve as their favor, have the small square glass vases on each table filled with sand and then get the pretty rock candy on sticks and place them in the sand. You can order rock candy in any color you want to go with your wedding colors. Tie a small favor tag to the stick with a little message or even their name to double as a place card. The centerpieces would be colorful and they can take home a stick of rock candy as their favor.
Yes, most places WILL allow you to have glass, especially if it's vases, I see it done all the time. I don't think they're going to make your guests eat off of paper plates and drink out of styrofoam!
Reply:A large, low dish with sides that come up at least an inch. Fill with sand. Put one huge or several small candles in the sand. You could put a few large flowers around the display if you think it needs more.
Reply:yea,I don't think you can have glass anything on the beaches,but if you can the clear candles with the sand and small shells inside of them are really cool...it looks like the beach..and you could have your wedding date put on them..maybe with the clear stick on labels,cheaper
Reply:We're having a beach wedding, and my sister suggested putting a glass dish with some sand and flat seashells in them, and asking everyone at teh table to write a brief wish to you both (give them a sharpie too)...you can keep all the shells in a large vase in your new home as a keepsake of your wedding day...I think it's a really nice idea.
Reply:I like your idea.
Reply:If you can get your hands on some giant conch shells (with the critters gone and the shells boiled so they don't smell of course!) put them upside down and place a few gorgeous orchids coming out. Place 3 or more in the center of the table, surround w/ candles if you can. Voila! If you can find them on the beach before the wedding, they are free, and you will have a modern simple, but still beautiful object for the center of your table.
Reply:I say forget the glass, and just do the seashells. Most beaches don't allow you to have glass bottles, so i'm assuming they would give you a hard time. Besides, the bowls can become expensive. Depending on the time of day, you can use candles also to set the mood for the evening. A cheap idea for favors-- hit the local gift shop and pick up the preserved star fish. They are easy to travel with, and won't melt like candy. Good luck, have a great wedding.
Reply:What about big conch shells with a few candles around them?
Something like this....just with the candles around it.

Anyone know of any good websites to find beautiful wedding floral arrangements?
I'm not talking about weddingchannel.com or theknot.com. I'm looking for actual florist websites that have pictures of wedding centerpiece arrangements and a variety of bouquets. I've done google searches and haven't really found what I'm looking for. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Anyone know of any good websites to find beautiful wedding floral arrangements?
Check out this website. On the first page select which state you live in. After that, it will show a list of all florists in that state. After that simply click on any florist and their link to their official website is shown. Click on that and you will see each florists portfolio of pictures, arrangemetns and pricing.
Hope this helps.

Reply:most local florists you will be utilizing should have photo albums of items they've done. If they don't, I wouldn't bother with them. I actually "accidentally" ran across my bridal bouquet while flipping through a magazine on an airplane. The ad was not for bridal flowers it was for Swarovski Crystals (they had their crystals hanging from a bouquet). I ripped out the page and took it to my floral designer said "scrap my original request, make me this!" (of course I didn't have the Swarovski's but it turned out just exactly like the one I found (with "fake" crystals). Have fun!! Visit lots of area (within 90 mile or so radius) florist shops and spend some time looking at their photos.

I need ideas for floral centerpieces for a navy blue wedding??
Blue is a relatively rare color for flowers, but there are several beautiful varieties of flowers that go well in/with blue.
If you want to stay with primarily blue flowers, I would suggest looking at hydrangeas, delphiniums, and irises. Hydrangeas come in a few shades of blue from a bit darker to pale, almost purplish hues. Delphiniums are blue, but are smaller than many other varieties of flowers. Irises can be blue, but will have a yellow swath on one of the petals, which is great if you plan on accenting with yellows/golds/oranges.
Of course, if you are using accent colors, you can always use arrangements in shades of the accents to compliment the rest of the decor.
If you have a lot of money to spend on the wedding, you could even buy blue roses, which are beautiful, but are often not a true blue as they are dyed. A truly blue rose has been developed, but I do not believe that the botanists who genetically engineered that gem have been able to produce enough separate plants to mail out yet, and so the cost for the blooms is astronomical.
I need ideas for floral centerpieces for a navy blue wedding??
I love yellow with blue. For something non-traditional, how about sunflowers? They are so cheerful and less expensive. You could also go with gerbera daisies in both yellow and orange. Orange is a complementary color of blue, so tiger lillies may also be nice. If you want to go more "classic", I recommend yellow roses, regular or calla lillies. Also, regular white daisies with the yellow center may be a more muted pop of color. I also like the blue hydranges with the purple tips.
Reply:Mines a red wedding and I got a fishbowl and put a red pillar candle inside then poured in some sparkly clear plastic crystals and set on a candle mirror, its lovely you could do the same but with blue candles, or even put in white flowers and use food colouring to dye the water navy blue x
Reply:try fuchsia, Ivory, maroon or maybe yellow
ask the florist you pick if they have a book of their previous work and see if anything jumps out at you.... good luck
Reply:Tall Cylinder glass vases....multi blue or sea glass stones, shells and starfish inside, with just a few pieces of floral coming out the top.
Reply:Tall cylinder glasses filled with white carnations, white rocks, white ping pong balls, then insert tall, tall white gladiola or calla lilies and one or two plumes of navy grasses. Very striking would also be keeping it simple and striking by just 3 red roses in a glass vase in centre of each table set on top of a round mirror. Navy is such a clear, clean, crisp color that the more simple you keep it, the more elegant it will be.
Reply:I say totally go with the white. It won't look sailor-ish, it will look crisp and classic. If you are afraid of it, I would say the next best choice would be pale blues. Do not do pink or lilac - gag!
Reply:Hi and congratulations!
I'm am assuming when you say a "navy blue wedding", you mean that the bridesmaids dresses are navy blue. I am assuming, again, that you want flowers to compliment your navy blue color scheme, as no flowers come in navy blue.
I love bright yellow with navy blue. I would have WHITE table linens, a navy blue vase, and YELLOW roses (my first choice), or YELLOW sunflowers, or YELLOW tulips, etc.
OR....you can go with a blue hydrangea....still in the "blue" family. Put them in navy blue vases:
http://www.rosesource.com/20_Stems_Light...
ORANGE would also be a bold complimentary color!
Good luck!
Reply:I think yellow would go nicely with the navy color scheme. Maybe yellow roses or lilies in clear vases with votive candles around them.
Reply:I'm hoping that you have some other colors, because flowers don't come in navy. And if you go with white, you run the risk of having a nautical/sailor wedding. I would go with something in pale pink. Or a lilac color, but it really depends on the rest of your wedding. And any other colors. You should post some more details.
Reply:Navy blue? I don't really know if you can get dark blue flowers (unless they're fake or dyed) but red roses would complement navy blue very well. And, it avoids the sailor look a bit. Just don't mix in white...then it will be a 4th of July wedding!

Non-floral wedding centerpieces?
Please help...Im thinkin' gold fish???
Non-floral wedding centerpieces?
I would stay away from using the goldfish as the centerpieces. What are you going to do with them when the wedding is over?
If you want to do non-floral centerpieces I would go with the floating candles. You can check out this website. They have a lot of good ideas for floating candles centerpieces...you can also buy the kits from them, but they are a little pricey and you can probably do most of it yourself.
http://www.surroundings.com/
Reply:I'd avoid goldfish as I really feel it is cruel to a living creature to use them as decor. A lot of the time the stress of being shoved into a new, and quite a strange, environment will stress the fish. It doesn't take a lot of stress to make a goldfish kick off either, and it really isn't pretty having little fishies belly-up in your centre pieces!
A friend of mine is having several small and beautiful cakes made up in place of a traditional tired wedding cake, and setting one on each table. They'll act as an edible centerpiece. I think it's a cute idea, plus it kills two birds with one stone!
Best of luck!
Reply:Floating candles in decorative bowls or vases. Those mini water falls that people often use on end tables. Those Japanese rock/sand gardens. Paper lanterns. Fruit bowl centerpieces with peaches, cherries, or apples. Decorated wooden birch houses which could be painted the same theme colours of the wedding. Herb garden center pieces are becoming very popular and are a useful for members of the wedding party to take home. I hope you find what you are looking for.
Reply:i went to a wedding and the fish water smelled so bad and some of the fish died by the end of the party . If you do that do some research i do not know why the fish died old age , shock or colored rocks you got me. Every body still calls it the wedding with the smelly fish. Just do your research. MY FH has a son and he was so mad when someone gave his son a fish ( pet ) with out consulting him because my FH had no container no food and had an extra job then the fish died two months later. I think your idea is fun just do research.
Reply:What about beta fish in a glass bowl with colored glass that goes with you color scheme.
Mirrors with rock salt and a candle in the center.
Ivy plant, it's not floral!
Pictures of you and you fiance, when you were younger and while you were dating.
Places you have visited, New York, Hawaii, etc. each table could represent a place.
Hope this helps!
Reply:ooh you could always do one of those edible arrangements things, but I think thats pretty expensive. They are really pretty though.
maybe origami or seashells or candles, like 3 different tiers of candle.
or what about small potted plants like baby trees that guests could take home with them?
hmmmmm.....
really pretty fish would be cool too.
Best of luck!!

What are the newest and most cost effective for floral centerpieces, for a summer tent wedding?
I'm planning a wdiing for mid July, on a Sat. night in a tent. The overall effect will be formal, as the tent will be draped with creme organza, the tables will have an overlay of sheer ivory, w/ gold ribbon entwined, and the tble will be adorned w/gold charger plates, etc. I need some ideas for a very sophisticated centerpiece,(Low on the table) and need some suggestions. Is Green hydrangea, viburnum, creme and or coral peonies available in July?..And what kind of container and style? Thanks.

Reply:Green hydrangea and peonies may still be available, but it will be pushing it. You may have to find a florist willing to search for you, and you may have to pay a little more.
Is this an air conditioned tent? What state? How hot will it be?
These things will affect the flowers. With regard to container and look I would do a very contemporary, elegant,hi-style look with minimal flowers in an a-asymmetrical shape.

It was very inexpensive and I got sooo many compliments that people have ask to borrow my stuff.
Reply:Instead of a floral centerpiece you could put a small cake on each table. Then you wouldn't have to get a large cake either. The cake should be large enough to serve as many people as there are at each table and then you could sprinkle flowers and have candles around the cake on the table.

Reply:Congratulations first of all! My fiance and I are going a slightly more simple route with our reception....we're doing color coordinating candles with a champagne flute on each side of the candle with personalized color coordinating M %26amp; M's filling the flutes. But everyone else's suggestions sound amazing too. Wishing you the best of luck with your special day! :D
Does any one have any ideas for non-floral wedding centerpieces?
I am getting married 09/06/08 and my colors are hot pink, black, and white. I am trying to stay away from floral centerpieces at the reception, but I have no idea what to do!! The table cloths are going to be black and I would like to use the hot pink as an accent...but I need help. Any ideas please??

We used large glass bowls (like rimless fish bowls), added colored stones in the colors of our wedding to the bottom, filled them with water, and added scented floating candles. They were gorgeous, and affordable.
Reply:A think a great idea is to use framed pictures of you and your spouse with backs facing each other. Candles next to them add a romantic touch. Something like this:

You should easily be able to find black picture frames pretty cheap and you can attach them together using swing brackets or even taping them together. It looks like this person used matting frames.
Reply:i love the m%26amp;m's in the vase idea also if you didn't want to use m%26amp;m's they have those colored balls you could fill the vases with. another idea i love is getting some fish bowls and getting bright colord beta fish to put in them...only problem with that is what happens to the fish after. if you have kids comming maybe talk to parents before and see if they would like to take them home {find homes for them before hand}.
i personally love non floral centerpieces...and they are cheaper!
GOOD LUCK! :-)
Reply:Use mirror fragments, glass beads/pebbles (used to fill floral vases), confetti, etc. around the table. Candles are always nice (just don't used scented candles because the smell will take away from the flavor of the food), but ask the venue if you are allowed to use candles, and make sure you have something to protect the table cloths from the dripping wax.
Reply:You could buy some tall drinking glasses or vases and fill them with white beads or fake white pearls and put a hot pink flower or floating candle on top. Or, group a couple of small vases together and wrap them with strands of fake pearls. Put water in and a few drops of food coloring to make the water pink and add a hot pink floating candle.

Reply:nice colors, hot pink and black! those are mine too!
not to mention you have "MY" wedding day to.
this is what we were going to do, get a fishbowl kinda thing with black/hot pink rocks with flating candles.
Reply:A round mirror purchased from a craft store with pink candles in glass votives. Sprinkle some flowers petals around it and you have a very elegant centerpiece.
Reply:I say do three vases at different heights on a mirror add water with hot pink rose petals and a floating candle on top. These centerpieces look awesome.
Reply:fill a glass bowl with black and hot pink stones, fill the rest of the way with water, and floating votives on the top.
Reply:I would do a clear cylinder tall vase with like peppers or limes in it... depends on the wedding colors these days those are very popular!
Reply:Fill a Large Vase or Jar with hot pink M%26amp;M's or Candies. Put votive candles around with some white rose petals.
Reply:A friend of mine had fish - bettas, I think. It looked really neat (the guests took them home at the end of the night).
Reply:Balloons.

What other options do I have for non floral wedding centerpieces? Do you have any pics of some ideas?
I using large rectangular tables and larger fish bowl centerpieces w/ smaller fish bowls on each side of the larger one. I plan on using flowers in the larger bowls, but would like to use something differnt in my smaller bowls. Do U have any recommendations for non floral centerpieces using smaller fish bowls? Or just pictures of non floral centerpieces in general?

Ok the big one with flowers then if it 4 small ones I would love to see two of them with colored crystals (in your wedding colors) Then the other two you may do water with a floating candle how lovely... This would look so amazing and elegant.
Reply:I suggest using small floating candles in the smaller bowls. That is what we are using in our small bowls. :)
Reply:what is your theme?
Reply:Really anythng, but please don't use fish. Sure they look pretty, but then you need to find something humane to do with a bunch of fish.
