yep deff
My sister is having a beached themed wedding and I am her maid of honor. I would like to really help her out there is a really tight budget being that she has a 4 month old son. I really need ideas on party favors and also centerpieces. The wedding will be on the beach and the reception under a pavilion. Any ideas on really cheap and easy centerpieces and party favor ideas? I would be VERY greatful!!!
Answer
Think sand, water, thin wispy fabrics like tuile, silks, and silky polyesters. Favors could include candles that smell like "ocean", "sea mist", or "fresh linen". Or you could do picture frames, or candle holders, votives, etc. check this link: http://weddingshop.theknot.com/weddingwarehouse/SubCategory.aspx?scId=Unique%20Favors(KnotShop)&sscId=BeachFavors(KnotShop)&cId=Favors(KnotShop)
You might be able to re-create many of those ideas on your own. Since summer is coming, check the clearance sections of target, Michael's craft stores, Jo-Ann's Crafts etc.
For centerpieces, get sand!!! That's going to make your life easier and you can cary the "beach" indoors! If you can afford flowers, try a wide,shallow bowl filled with sand. Cut Gerbera daisies really short and burying the stems into the sand. then Place tea lights or votives around the flower tops in the sand. The if the flowers are real, they won't last more than for the night but of they are fake, they will last forever. Or try this...
a few days before the wedding, prepare the sand in shallow wide bowls. Mist the sand down with a spray bottle to get the sand wet enough to write in or leave an imprint. Then with a stick, write the couples initials or name with the wedding date or whatever you want. Leave in a dry place with little to no wind so that the sand will dry out and slightly harden. Then on the wedding day, their love will be "written in the sand"! Use candles for extra effect. If you do this, you will need to think about transportation so use lightweight, maybe even clear plastic bowls. Also, sand gets heavy so if you have a lot of tables or use too much sand, it could be heavy.
Good luck!

I am having a tropical themed wedding in June. I am laying organza squares on top of the round white table linens and then putting down ti leaves with a glass centerpiece bowl and floating orchid blooms (much cheaper then orchid plants) I go them from here http://www.hawaii-tropical-flowers.com/fresh_hawaiian_lei/loose_orchid_flowers.html with a couple candles on either side.
