As
weddings become more and more glamorous, lighting has started
to play a big role in today's wedding decor, including wedding
centerpieces. Special lighting effects and techniques have been used
at high-end weddings and celebrity weddings for some time now, to
give them that signature 'fantasy' effect. But for the
"average" bride and groom who don't have the luxury of a
high-end budget, these kinds of fabulous special effects have been
out of reach. Not anymore! We say everyone is entitled to a
glammed up wedding... celebrity-style special lighting effects
included! Here's how you can do it, for CHEAP! Your guests
will be awestruck! Make your own lighted wedding centerpieces...
Making
Lighted Wedding Centerpieces is Easy! Here's How:
1.
Start by selecting an attractive clear glass container for your
centerpieces. Here we've used a contemporary rectangular vase, but
you may use any shape and style of clear vase -- or even a clear bowl
for a floating flower design. Use your imagination to customize a
look all of your own for one of a kind wedding centerpieces!
2.
Place our inexpensive water-activated
diamond lights at the bottom of the centerpiece vase or bowl
(available in the SuperWeddings Wedding
Store).
3.
Fill the containers for your centerpieces half way to three-quarters
full with fresh water.
4.
Now simply add your choice of cut flowers and greenery, and...
you're done!
What's
really terrific is, because of the stunning special effects created
by the underwater diamond lights, your floral arrangement can be
really simple - it does not have to be elaborate because the drama of
these lighted wedding centerpieces all comes from the lighting. This
means you can easily do all your wedding centerpiece arrangements for
yourself - you don't need to spend money for a professional floral
designer to create your wedding centerpieces, and you save money on
your wedding! (Of course, if you do use the services of a
professional florist, you can still provide the lights to be used for
adding these stunning special effects to your wedding centerpieces).
Now
see? An awesome, high-end looking wedding really IS possible on ANY
budget. You can DO IT YOURSELF and WOW your guests with a little
guidance and inspiration from SuperWeddings.com! Nobody will ever
know how little you spent for this fabulous "custom"
look for these stunning lighted wedding centerpieces!
