Filed under: Do-It-Yourself, ReceptionsFloating candles are an ideal way to create a peaceful, romantic atmosphere at your reception. They are one of the simplest centerpieces to make, too. Simply choose an attractive receptacle -- a wide, shallow clear glass bowl works very well. Fill it with an inch or three of water, place the candles on the surface, and light them. Done! There are many easy ways to add a little flare to this basic idea. You might choose to put some pretty river pebbles or glass beads on the bottom of the bowl, or float flower petals or metallic (inflammable) confetti on th... |

Etsy is a treasure-trove of wonderful goodies, I can’t tell you how much I love it. I spotted these tiny floating candles, made from beeswax filled acorn caps, and just thought they would be beautiful for an autumn wedding. In bowls of water, perhaps like below with addition of colourful autumn leaves, they would look simply stunning on your reception tables. What a genius idea they are – what do you think? They’d go really well with this idea for place cards made from oak leaves. They are available from Etsy seller Green Baboon Designs.... |
I am not a person who talks to myself much. If I were, today I would have sat here saying, “Woooo-hooooeeee!” My heart said it quietly to itself though when it came to my attention that our small, sparkling diamond floating candles were featured on one of my all-time favorite websites, apartmenttherapy.com. The San Francisco edition included them in a fun round-up on sculptural candles. Though our pretty diamonds are in the mix with some rather unusual picks (like a skull and a hoof), we were absolutely thrilled & grateful nonetheless. We happen to get a kick out of them, as well as ... |
