beach themed wedding tables image
Lisa
I am having a beach themed wedding reception and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what I can use to make sandcastle centerpieces for the tables.
Answer
I'd make it out of an air dry clay, like Model Magic, or if you want to do a castle with squared corners, make it out of foam core and low melt hot glue (for strength), then paint it with glue and press sand onto it. If you actually make it from sand, your chances that it will survive the reception are slim to none, and it will weigh about ten pounds. You can also do round towers out of mailing tubes....or go to Michaels and ask the frame shop manager for the discarded cores of the kraft paper they use for the backs of pictures. The foam core/cardboard tube is the most cost effective, if you are on a budget...and if you are NOT on a budget, contact me and I'LL make them for you! lol
If you email me, I'll send you pics of a castle we did for a summer camp project. Type in Sandcastle as the subject.
I think the theme sounds great! Good luck!

Can anyone help with our wedding theme?
We are planning to have our wedding on the beach, or outside in general. But we don't want a beach themed wedding. We have been trying to find ideas where we can use top hats and canes, with a gothic feel. We were thinking maybe victorian or 1920s. Any theme idea would help. Our wedding colors are black, red, purple, sliver if that helps anyone.
Answer
I would do a Victorian themed garden wedding at an old Victorian manor house, castle, or inn. This would more fit top hats and canes than a wedding at the beach.
Want to add some true authenticity to your Victorian wedding? Have the celebrations in the morning - before 1880, couples were required by law to hold their nuptuals before noon.
Everything about the Victorian wedding is lush with elegance. Black, white, and silver will work very well, and maybe red roses all over.
For a mental image, think of those beautiful pictures that are all black and white, often showing a little boy pecking a little girl on the cheek, with flowers behind his back. The clothing is very formal, lots of lace, top hats and gloves.
Victorian Wedding Flower Selections:
Brides were very careful in choosing their flowers for their weddings. They chose flowers with specific meanings. Some of the popular flowers were: roses (check meanings for each color), lilies, gardenias, stephanotis sprigs, pansies, hyacinths, baby's breath and orange blossoms. Bouquets were small nosegays (tussie mussies), which are small, plump bouquets of flowers.
Table Decor and Centerpieces
Set up tables so they are cozy and personal, no more than 6 people per table (use round tables).
Use linen napkins with decorated wooden napkin holders at each setting.
Fill a galvanized watering can with fresh summer flowers as a centerpiece.
Scatter rose petals around table.
