Decoration
center pieces
I want varying heights on my center pieces, some low and wide others tall and thin. For the tall ones I want to use a thin square shaped vase with just a few calla lillies or amarylus's (amaryli?) or whatever flower I decide on in it. I have two different ideas on that. For the other I want to use 8" fishbowl, the round, bubble-like ones and put decorative white and clear rocks in the bottum with an LED light buried in them. Then I want to float two small or probably one big flower floating on top and have a white and a black fancy goldfish swimming inside. The LEDs put off very little heat but I am worried about the sound vibrations. How awful would that be, center pieces with dead fish?!! I guess the fish will depend on the size of the venue we choose. The best part is these came to only about $12, fish and flowers included. The others came to about $5, with flowers. Average $8.50, not bad. I have 10 nieces and nephews coming from my family alone so I'm sure it won't be hard to find them all homes at the end. I saw a similar center piece at my prom (back in the day) but they had the bowls on this set up which held them above a candle(no fish of coarse! but that's the first thing i thought it needed). It was really beautful how the light emanated from under the flower and illuminated the whole bowl. I sure the effect will be pretty similar wih the LED light. Man I can't wait to go look at venues!

Just so no one worries, I have a 50 gallon fish tank and lots of experience with their care. I'll be absolutely sure they're properly set up for at the reception or I won't have them.

That tulip arrangement is just my style. I have an almost identical picture (with white tulips) in one of my blogs, check it out. I also have quite a few floating ones added on there.

and LOL I agree it would be pretty bad if one of the fish died and just floated around at the top, but I also have to agree that the idea would certainly be unique and a great conversation starter!

Make sure you use distilled water that has sat for a few days at room temperature. Also make sure that you know what is going to happen to the fish after the reception is over. Talk to a pet expert and make sure that the flower that you are putting in and any rocks are safe for the animals. Better yet, look for rocks at a pet store.
