Martini Centerpiece
Crystal pearl soil and LED lights in Martini Glass

So my idea for the centerpeice has been somewhat evolving.

its basically a martini glass with flowers, lights and cool pearl thingies in it.

i found a florist in brampton who will do the centerpeices for approximately 25-26 a table. all i have to do is provide her with the led lights and the pearl soil.

i found the waterproof lights for approximately a 1$ each on ebay for 100 ( and thats cause i got 50 free - ebay) i got pink and uv purple and white (not shown)

the pearl soil was also approximately 45 dollars for 28 packages including shipping - ebay

the martini glasses and the roses are coming from the florist.

let me know what you think .. ill post a mock up later

I was thinking of doing something like that with martini classes, minus the lights.

Thank you sooooooo much!!!!
I just ordered them today!!
I paid a little more than you did: $1.56 a piece, but that's still saved me a lot of money with the prices of other sellers!

I LOVE YOU!
Thanks!

Where did you get these big glasses from? Not the martini one but the ones with the pearl soil and the pink light in them?

the large champagne flute my mom got from bowring at one of their sales.  i think she paid 30 dollars for it. but you could probably go to walmart and find something similar for less.

I have been trying to find LED lights like this that are 'bright enough.' It seems like all of the ones I find seem bright, and then once you put the beads/crystals in there there is barely any light. Do these illuminate well once all of the beads are placed in the glass?

actually it depends not only on the light but the gel beads your are using.  i prefer the clear because the colour really shows through, use a filtered water. something i didnt think of was the possibility of adding sparkles to the water when your growing the gel. that way its even more sparkly. as for the lights the white is really strong even the pink lights the uv is a little mellow but the picture i have with the large champagne glass only has 2 lights in it.

the brand that i used was really good and cheap and bought it online  but you can now find the stuff in dollar stores,  the only thing you really need to do is use filtered water

You said that you got a florist in Brampton who would put it all together for $25 - 26 per table. Can you tell me the name? We are getting married nearby and need to find someone who will work with us.

Thanks :)
