Center Pieces

Water beads come in packages and soaked in water to give the look of gel balls on colour or clear. I used that along with LED lights in vases rented for our reception.

Buy dollarama vases and flowers for simple ideas to give away instead of keeping to sell after.

Your speaking my language with non floral centerpieces. I'm going to be doing some greenery with candles, lanterns, or bell jar lights and table numbers in metal picture frames. I have most of the supplies already so won't need to buy much. They can be done very inexpensive if you already have or can find inexpensive votive holders or other soft lights.

View quoted message That sounds really cool! What are water beads??

View quoted message The led lights are really cool. We got a package of 10 for something like $15 (make sure they are submersible). Then we found glass vases at the dollar store for $2.5. You can do so many things with them.

A cool idea is water beads. You put the led light in the bottom of the vase then fill the vase with water beads you have soaked overnight. The light reflects of the beads. You can then leave it just like that or put a floating candle on top.

The led lights we got can be set to a bunch of different colours and have a setting where there fade to different colours.

There's tons you can do:
- 3 different vase with LED lights in them
- lantern with candles inside OR birdcage with candle inside
- Candle holder but big feathers on top
- wine bottles with branches in then (painted gold)
- picture frames with your and your FH photos

I second the glass vase and candle idea! Probably the most economical choice lol.

Ooh cool idea! Thanks

We are doing glass vases with floating candles and rocks! If you can find people selling their glass vases used from their own wedding, they are usually pretty cheap, and if you live anywhere near a beach or even a rural area you can find free rocks (lol)!
