Wedding vases come in a variety of shapes and serve many purposes for wedding decoration. Vases are frequently used to decorate the ceremony space. Some brides also like to use a floating candle in a vase for the unity candle. Wedding vases are most frequently used to create centerpieces for reception tables. Some prefer one larger vase, while others group several smaller vases together for a unique look.
Floating candle centerpieces are the perfect way to create an elegant focal point for a table. Floating candles can be used in virtually any glass container, so the possibilities for floating candle centerpieces are endless. It is very simple to add color and texture to floating candle centerpieces. Just add colored rocks or flower petals to the water, and instantly change the look.
Bubble ball vases can be used as floating candle holders, flower vases, or even a fish bowl. Bubble ball vases are about 5 inches wide, so they are a good size and can be used for a variety of functions. These vases can add a modern touch at a very low cost. Bubble ball vases are perfect for use in the home or office, but can also make a great centerpiece for special events.

Glass star bowls are a unique decoration that can be used for any type of special event or in the home or office every day. Glass star bowls are made of very thick, high quality glass, and they easily accommodate 2 or 3 inch floating candles. This bowl could also be used to hold candy or potpourri. Glass star bowls are crystal clear and will add a special element to any setting.
The feelings of calm and peaceful tranquility that can cause complete relaxation throughout your body and mind seem to go hand in hand with the flicker and glow of pillar and tealight candles surrounding a hot bubblebath. You use them to calm your thoughts. Candles are like a magical relaxation tool. So when you need all of those elements to work in favor of your emotional wellbeing, there is no better solution. Candles are affordable, beautiful, practical, and so easy to get a hold of.
Tealight Candles, by design are generally considered to be a one use candle. Granted, this one use can have a duration of up 7 hours with the extended burn tealights, but most people find that they are the perfect size for a casual get together, party, peaceful reading session, or long soak in a hot bathtub. What’s perfect about them is that they can easily be tossed and replaced with little to no mess. New scent, new color, new atmosphere. Simple as that.
Groupings can be accomplished through the use of many items, such as glass, metals, colors, heights, and any combination of these elements. In those places where you would normally think on a smaller, less noticeable scale, try a set of taller, more robust candles like pillar candles. Place the tallest candle in back, a shorter candle near it, and then place a mid-sized candle along side the pair. This offers depth and an added sense of elegance. These can be displayed with the cylinder vases shown or the regular round glass holders.
Cylinder vases combined with floating candles make a perfect centerpiece for any wedding table that is extremely elegant and more economical than fresh flowers.
Of all the centerpiece ideas out there, these are among the most popular. You can do so much with them and you can also add different objects to create the right feel and perfectly match your theme. Like the centerpiece pictured above, you use an assortment of cylinder vases, fill them with flower petals and water, then place 3″ floating candles in them. Add a few matching color votive candles in glass holders as accents, and you have an elegant centerpiece that will be the focal point for your reception hall.
