SeashellsFavor Idea: If you're having a seaside wedding, package beautiful conch shells in pretty see-through pouches, and tie with a beautiful quote by William Blake: "To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wildflower... hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour...". Or, if you are having a Catholic wedding, here is a beautiful and unique gift idea: give your guests these meditation shells blessed in the water at The Shrine of Lourdes in Southern France....

Seashell Arrangement
Here is another one of those interesting, lovely flower arrangements we talk about. This time the vase is a large shell. Perfect for summer decorating. I think I've seen these large shells at Michael's. Seashell Arrangement How-To1. Choose a sizable shell that sits securely -- without rocking or falling over -- when its aperture, or opening, faces upward. Begin by soaking a block of floral foam in water until saturated, usually a few minutes (the moist foam will then keep your arrangement fresh for 3 to 4 days). 2. With a sharp knife, cut the foam to fit inside the shell...

Seashells and flowersFiled under: Flowers, Grooms, Theme weddingsFloral arrangements which incorporate sea shells are natural complement to your beach wedding. Or perhaps you are having a destination wedding with only a handful of people in attendance, but you'll be throwing a larger reception when you arrive home. For either event, a creative florist can put together a display that will have the soft and colorful elements of blossoms, while using elements -- shells, sand, driftwood -- to make striking centerpieces which create the ambiance of the shore.Perhaps your bridesmaids could carry a smaller cluster of she...

Modern Finds: SeashellsI recently went to the beach, and since then I’ve been looking up beach-themed weddings. Even if your wedding isn’t beach themed, having a few gorgeous seashells here and there can be fun and decorative. They come in so many different shapes and sizes, and can be used for things like weights, candle-holders, or just decorative pieces. - christine Photo Credits: Row 1: Chocolate Seashell Cupcakes via Sweetopia | Shell Bouquet via Martha Stewart Weddings Row 2: Visionari Photography | Candles via Wax101 © christine at betsywhite for Flights of Fancy, 2011. | Permalink | No comment | Add t...

Seashell Wedding IdeasWe'll be taking a trip to Florida over the summer with two other families, which I am over the moon excited about, and I've had beach crafts on the brain ever since we booked the condo. I've come across quite a few awesome seashell crafts, bouquets, and all around home decor ideas, but I also came across some pretty hideous stuff. One should never give their grandma a glue gun, a bag of seashells, and free reign over the house. Just because you scored an awesome deal on 100 seashells doesn't mean you need to use them all! Less is more, my friends, less is more... Have a great weekend, everyon...
