The soft colors and flower petals in this design make it a very pretty wedding centerpiece idea if you are decorating for a spring or summer wedding. It also happens to be an extremely simple project, so you can easily create this fabulous wedding centerpiece yourself if you'd like to do your own wedding decorating! The rose petals used here are faux, but who would know it? Tiny 'water droplets' on the petals make them look oh-so-real. Of course, you could use fresh petals if you were so inclined, but these are so much more hassle free - no wilting or withering, and very easy to re-use again and again.

Instead of using floater candles in this design, tea light candles are placed in shiny clear glass holders that float atop the water - we love this idea, and your wedding guests will too! The glass of the holders captures the reflection of the candlelight to really enhance the overall effect of the design.

Creating the Centerpiece is Easy! Here's How:

2. Fill the martini glass or other container you have selected with fresh water.

4. Place the floating glass holders in the water. For the centerpiece in the photo, 3 glass floating candle holders were used in the design.
