DIY Candle Centerpieces

Photo and directions from Martha Stewart

Looking for an easy way to make your own candle centerpieces? Martha Stewart offers brides (and other hostesses) an easy to make summer centerpeice.

Candles make eye-catching centerpieces and these sand and shell centerpieces add ambiance to any occasion. I'd love to use them at a beach wedding reception.

These are easy to make and great for outdoor because they keep the candles from blowing out. I prefer the tone on tone look shown above but you could go with colored sands or candles as well.

Just use candle adhesive to secure the tapers to the bottom of the heat resistant glass vases and pour in some sand around the candles. Then add a few shells  so each centerpiece looks like a piece of the beach.

Pink and chocolate is a popular color combination for weddings. Create this elegant tablesetting with a Victorian Hurricane Vase candle holder. Accessorize with some acrylic beads and colorful pillar candle to create a beautiful stunning centerpiece. You can use any color combination to suit your wedding colors.  Using two colors makes your tabletop stand out.  You could also add mirrored mats under your candle display.  Just be sure it can take the heat.  Caution these candles are arranged for photo purposes only and should be 2 1/2 inches apart in reality.
