We are going to key west to have out wedding. Usually traditonal weddings, one person takes home the centerpiece. Obviously with everyone flying in I doubt they would want the floral centerpiece. The wedding will be held outdoors, so it will be hot! I wanted some suggestions on different beach themed centerpieces, one idea I was thinking about was having a bowl with water and seashells and having floating candles and flowers, anyone have any other suggestions. Something simple but unique!
i love everyones suggestions so far, the rock candy is a great idea!!!
Answer
You could have various shapes and sizes of glass bowls filled with water, floating flowers and floating candles and/or glass bowls filled with sand, sea shells and a small pillar candle in the middle of each bowl (set up in the sand).
Or, you could get a little more creative and fill small square glass vases with sand and sea glass in your wedding colors or just blue and green to go with the beach theme with a small pillar candle in the middle. Or if you want a tasty centerpiece which could also serve as their favor, have the small square glass vases on each table filled with sand and then get the pretty rock candy on sticks and place them in the sand. You can order rock candy in any color you want to go with your wedding colors. Tie a small favor tag to the stick with a little message or even their name to double as a place card. The centerpieces would be colorful and they can take home a stick of rock candy as their favor.
Yes, most places WILL allow you to have glass, especially if it's vases, I see it done all the time. I don't think they're going to make your guests eat off of paper plates and drink out of styrofoam!

i am getting marry soon and would like to get marry at the beach
Answer
Hi Ingrid! I have a niece who is getting married to a doctor colleague in June of this year at a beautiful Philippine Island called Bora (short for Boracay) where the white sand is so fine it's like treading on sugar. I can just imagine your excitement at this point as you plan out your special moment.
Being a florist of many years and having attended and organized many weddings, I think that the best focal point and centerpiece in your wedding should be the area/spot where you will take your marital vows.
Everyone's attention will be on you and your groom. I would suggest a gazebo-like area or an arch of beautiful, fresh flowers with your color motif (be it the color of your flowers or the ribbons and the decor that will go with it). A red carpet can lead to the altar with more flower stands along it's sides.
You didn't mention what time your wedding will be, but if it's timed in the late afternoon, the sunset at the background, the tides turning, the scenery around will be big plus factors. When the sun is down, the caterers can attend to the lighting of torches around the reception area to create some ambiance. A bonfire at a distance will also be good but someone has to monitor it so that young kids won't get too near it. If you are Asian, you might also consider having a pig on the spit cooking in the background or a roasted calf. In the open air, the fresh breeze and the wide expanse of the sea is already quite a big bonus.
If you think there is the possibility of rain, consider another option. Big canopies so that you do not get wet, Same with the guests.
The next place that will draw the attention of your guests will be your buffet table where you should put a massive centerpiece- a combination of flowers, fruits,with maybe a mini beach umbrella.
Of course, the table where you will put your wedding cake is also going to draw raves if you add some mini beach balls or cocktail umbrellas as decor aside from the usual flowers.
Your wedding giveaways should also have a beach motif.
I do hope you will have a great and memorable wedding at the beach!
