Anchor silk flowers using clear floral marbles is a glass or vase of water, add a floating candle and voila! an easy economical centerpiece. Add some votive candles is a coordinating color or the same color as the flowers and you have a great centerpiece.

 

Be sure to test the glasses out to be sure they are able to withstand the heat of the floating candles, I've seen centerpieces shatter when the glass was not meant to withstand the heat of candles burning.

Martini glasses as centerpieces? With a little help from you or  your florist. If you are looking for an interesting centerpiece for a buffet table or bar this is a good option. So easy to do and perfect for silk flowers.

Easy DIY Wedding Project

Looking for an easy DIY project to use for centerpieces for your wedding? How about these floating candles surrounded by different size pearls floating in water?

 

This is an EEEBCDI (easy enough even Bill can do it) project. For those of you who aren't familiar with my blog, these are projects that are so easy even my non-crafty husband was able to pull one together with no stress (not necessarily no mess though!) Which means if you are looking for a project to have your fiance help you out with this is one he should be able to handle without a problem no matter how much he insists he 'doesn't do crafts.'

 

Choose white or cream pearls depending on the color of your dress. You could even buy colored pearls in blush or pale pink to bring some color to the centerpiece. Pick up pearls at your local craft store or buy them online.

 

One caveat when buying vases to use for any floating candle project: Be sure the vases can withstand prolonged heat from the burning candle. I've been to weddings where the vases exploded from the heat. Needless to say it was a little messy.

 

So have some fun, grab your fiance, and pull together these easy DIY centerpieces for your wedding day together.
