Pretty
in Pink! This centerpiece would be very appropriate for a spring or
summer wedding, with its rose petals and soft color. You can easily
create a centerpiece like this using fresh rose petals, but we'll let
you in on a little secret - the ones used here are faux!
Made out of acetate, a silk-like
material, who would know they aren't the real thing?
Creating
the Centerpiece is Easy! Here's How:
1.
Start by selecting an attractive clear glass container for the
centerpiece. Here, an elevated bowl on a glass pedestal was used, but
feel free to use a more standard style of bowl for equally lovely effects.
2.
Fill the container with fresh water.
3.
Select your floating candles. For our centerpiece, square floaters
from Candles Just Online
,
were chosen because the atypical sqaure shape adds terrific visual
interest to the overall design. You can mimic this look entirely if
you use sqaure floaters in your design, or you could select another
style of floating candle to create your own look. We recommend Candles Just Online
for
a great selection of styles of floating candles.
4.
Place the floating candles in the water. To mimic the look in the
photo, crowd the candles in the container - for this particular
container, four candles was about all it could hold, and we crammed
them in! If you prefer a different look, use fewer candles.
5.
Now its time to add the Pièce
de Résistance - the rose
petals, also available from Candles Just Online
.
It's the rose petals that really cap off the look in this particular
centerpiece design and give it that super-romantic, super-soft visual
effect. Just place the petals on water and around the candles, and be
sure to also sprinkle them on the
table, around the centerpiece to finish that wonderful setting!
See
how easy it was to pull the whole look together?
