There are so many stunning details involved in wedding planning. Those who are currently planning their own wedding are feeling the pinch of these details. The big details are the greatest challenge, but once the biggest of the trails have been trekked, it is time to enjoy the fulfilling mini-details that will make the splendor of the wedding moment a true bliss.
The ambiance of a wedding reflects love and togetherness, but the specific items that you use for that ambiance are up to you. Centerpieces are a major feature to any wedding reception and finding a unique idea that reflects your personal taste can be a lot of fun.
From flowers to candles, simple displays are easy to make, and easy to help you stay within budget. With today’s retro and classic styles a taste of elegant flair can be used with decorative genius at a small price.
For a brilliant display of creativity try using an exaggerated-size wine glass flower vase (available at discount stores such as Wal-Wart). Add colored marbles or a few smooth rocks, fill with fresh, clean (or filtered water) and buy several small to medium sized beta or gold fish and add 1-2 fish per large vase. The vase should be big enough to hold 2-3 quarts of water to supply the fish enough oxygen to last the length of the reception. Add a sprig of cut vine or a few small flower-heads to float on top of the water for color. Most beta fish come in varying colors and may even accent your color scheme. Then give away the fish to guests who have tanks at home! This can be relatively inexpensive if purchasing the vases in bulk.
For another tasteful flair try this impressive idea. Amaze your guests with a stunning glass pond on each table. Using a large, flat-bottom glass basin (try a 28″ + flat-bottom glass bowl) fill ½ of the way with clean water. Find smooth stones that will match your ensemble and sprinkle them across the bottom of each basin. Find small, floating glass tea light holders that will be equipped with a tea light of specific scent and color. Add the tea light equipped holders to the water to float gracefully. Add a flare of extra color by adding small fresh cut flower-heads to float, or add a big sprinkle of glitter to the water to add a reflective hue off of the candle flames.
For a natural hint of color try using 10″x10″ clear glass pedestal vases fill ½ full with clean water. Add small seashells to cover the bottom of the vase and add 2-4 floating candles, your choice of color. With a pedestal vase the stalk leaves room under the vase to display items such as flower petals on the table or seashells with tea light candles in-shell. Even take a few inches of fake ivy vine to wrap around the stalk.
Make your own personality come alive with your creative ideas. Any idea can be personalized to your own taste. It is your wedding and everyone deserves a wedding that accentuates their style in their way.
