Ask a Question
Centerpieces
I found these centerpieces and thought they were gorgeous (the vase part). I have been discussing with my florist just how we are going to replicate something like this. We have found vases we are thinking of using but now on to the difficult part. I have not been able to find the fuchsia colored marbles. I have done search after search and have only found a few things. I found hot pink acrylic sea glass (2nd picture). This would work great I think except that it is $11 a bag. Since the centerpieces are 24 inches high and we will need about 25 I think this would be extremely pricey. Since not just one bag will fill the vase. I am not even sure how many bags will fill it.

The other thing I thought about using was cherry flavored rock candy (3rd picture). Let me know what you think.


Other ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Hmmm, I see what you mean! I think the cherry rock candy will get too sticky? And it might up pricey too b/c they are so small and come in little packs. Have you tried Walmart or save-on-crafts.com? I know they sell marbles in different colors. Or how about using beads? I hope you find something! I will keep a look out!

What about clear marbles and those led lights? They come  in pink.

This is what I'm talking about

It won't look exactly like this but I find it to be refreshing and chic.

I don't know if you've found anything for your vases yet but there are these bottles of what lookes like sand (size-wise) and when they get wet, they expand and look like ice. You can get them in clear or colored. The gal told me if you order the clear and change your mind or want to make your own color, you just add the dye to the water and then the "beads" soak it up and voila!!

Oh, they're called "water jewels". Craft stores should carry them. I know Michaels does anyway....GL!
