Traditional Classic

“floating candle Wedding Centerpiece“
Create Your Own Floating Candle Centerpieces
Getting married can be unbelievably expensive. With so many things to spend for like the wedding gown, catering, flowers, church, souvenirs, invitations, and so on, your savings can be depleted in no time. Even buying of wedding centerpieces can be just too costly.
It is a good thing that there are tricks you can do to save money on your wedding. One way to do that is to create your own wedding centerpieces, which is not only cheap but will also give you the opportunity to personalize the centerpieces and enable you to bond with your bridesmaids.
A floating candle centerpiece is one of the best options that you have. Not only is this exquisite and beautiful, it is also very easy to make that you would not feel any stress while engaged in this project.
To help you create wonderful floating candle centerpieces, here are the basic steps to keep in mind:
1. Choose the right candles
Since the candles are the focal point of this centerpiece, you need to choose the right kinds to display. Candles come in a wide variety of shapes, colors, and sizes and you have to choose based on your personal preference and in accordance to the theme of the wedding.
For example, if you want your wedding to exude romance, heart shaped candles is the best way to go. If you want to have a simple but elegant wedding, white round candles are ideal. Now, if the theme of your wedding is Irish, choose thick cream candles.
Aside from the appearance and style of the candle, you also have to choose good quality candles that have long burning time, no smoke film, lead-free wicks, and low soot wax.
2. Look for a bowl
The next thing that you have to look for is the bowl where you will be placing the candles. A goblet or small stemmed bowl is perfect for a single floating candle centerpiece. A wide bowl, on the other hand, is ideal for a group of small candles. You also have the option to use pedestal bowls for a three-dimensional effect of light, triangle or square bowls for a unique display, and hourglass shaped cylinders to express artistry and creativity.
3. Add special touches to your centerpiece
Decorative pieces help make the centerpiece look even more beautiful that it already is. You can embellish the centerpiece with real or silk flowers, quartz crystals, sand, marbles, colored stones, natural pebbles, seashells, or gems to add a more dramatic effect. You can even put in a few drops of food coloring to give color to the water.
4. Pick a base for the centerpiece.
Another important part of the centerpiece that many people overlook is the base. The right kind of base can finish the look of the centerpiece. You can choose from mirrors, loose flower petals, decorative plate, or a fabric.
Creating floating candle wedding centerpieces is easier than most people think. With creativity and resourcefulness, you will easily be able to make personalized floating candle centerpieces that will add classy ambience to your wedding event.

Garden Wedding Motifs
Garden weddings are always beautiful and romantic. There is nothing quite like celebrating the start of a new marriage among the beauty of nature in all its glory. The garden also makes an excellent wedding motif, whether your wedding will actually take place outdoors or whether you will have an indoor affair. Make your wedding even lovelier with the addition of one of these wonderful garden motifs.
One of the best things about a garden style wedding is that it can be done to suit any style or taste. Gardens can be lush and wildly romantic; they can be formal and cultured; they can even be cheerful and homey. Your wedding garden motif can be tailored to fit your personal idea of the perfect wedding.
The most classic garden motif would be flowers. There are numerous ways that this basic concept can be applied. For instance, if your wedding will be a magical Shakespearean “Midsummer Night’s Dream” affair, your ideal motif would be something along the lines of a whimsical fairy perched atop a flowing arrangement of wildflowers or morning glories. This would make a lovely image to have engraved on your invitations.
On the other hand, a floral motif can be much more classic or restrained. If your idea of the ideal garden wedding involves a floral embroidered silk organza ball gown worn with delicate pearl earrings, then you might select a traditional design, such as a bouquet of roses tied with a flowing ribbon. This design can be used throughout the wedding, from the invitations, to the programs, to the favor boxes, and even on custom napkins.
There are plenty of other pretty garden motifs beyond flowers. Gardeners love ladybugs, and this little red and black bug would make a very cute and lucky motif for a wedding. You can even go so far as to have tiny glass ladybugs perched in the centerpieces and bouquets. This would be a fun theme for a less formal wedding, as it is whimsical and not at all stuffy.
The English country garden has a special appeal all its own. To capture this spirit in a wedding motif, think about using an image of a watering can with a pair of Wellies. Those old boots that can be found piled up in the entry hall of every English country home would be a great design idea for a casually elegant wedding. There is a shabby chic vibe to this particular garden theme, such as the bride wearing a simple linen wedding gown with a pair of drop pearl earrings and a broken in pair of ballet slippers.
Garden themes can also go grand. A very gracious motif would be a custom wreath designed with the initials of the bride and groom intertwined in the the center. Use a very fancy script font with an abundance of flourishes and swirls. The motif can not only be used to decorate all of the paper goods, but can be created in real wreaths which can be hung on the doors of the church as well as in the reception venue. A beautiful keepsake would be to have this same symbol embroidered in all white on hankies for the bride and her bridal party.
Even within a basic framework, such as a garden theme, there are countless ways to personalize your wedding with a custom theme. Whether your style is serious or relaxed, topiary or daisy, there is a garden motif that can be used to express your wedding style beautifully.

Pearl earrings
are a classic accessory for the bride. They also make lovely gifts for bridesmaids.
Can someone give me a ballpark for wedding flowers?
My fiance and I are crunching numbers for our wedding/reception. I would want a SIMPLE bouquet, not a big flower person for me and my 4 bridesmaids. Plus we would need boutiners (sp?) for then men. If we have at the venue I want (a mansion). They have a TON of floral and candles already set up for our ceremony and reception so we would only need the flowers mentioned above. If we have it at a hotel ballroom (ceremony and reception) I would think we would have to pay for some flower or greenery for the ceremony site and the centerpieces (about 15 tables) as well. Can someone give me a ballpark figure? I’m trying to convince my fiance that the extra we pay for the mansion we would save in floral. (They will set up ALL our stuff for us at the mansion, wo we would not a florist to come, we could just pick up the flowers at Sam’s)
