Choosing Beach Wedding Centerpieces
Choosing your beach wedding centerpieces can be frustrating but is also a lot of fun! While your choice will be influenced greatly by whether or not you have a theme such as "beach party", "tropical", or "mermaid fantasia", there are a few ideas that can be used without any specific theme, but which will also complement any beach wedding theme. Your choice is limited only by your imagination. Here are a few ideas to get the creative juices flowing:Ideas for beach wedding centerpieces: 1. Hammer a couple of nails into large pieces of driftwood. Skewer some tea light candles onto the nails. Lay a sand coloured table runner
on the table and place the driftwood "candelabra" on top. Add some sand, shells and tropical flowers if you like. An inexpensive but stunning beach wedding centerpiece! If you are not the DIY type, but you like this idea, then just get ready-made Driftwood Tea Light Candle Holders 
2. Get some sea sand and place a few handfuls on the center of the table. Place a large shallow glass bowl either on top of the sand or buried into the sand. Fill with water and beautiful seashells. To finish off the look float some pretty Sealife Floating Candles 
3. Fill a couple of Fish Bowls with live fish. These beach wedding centerpieces can be given to your guests to take home or you can take them home as a reminder of your wedding day.
4. Fill a tin bucket with sea sand and place a large pillar candle or two or three tealights (Island Paradise Soy Candle Tealights 
will work wonderfully ) or several thin taper candles in the sand. Decorate with seashells.
5. Large conch shells make understated but elegant beach wedding centerpieces. Just complete the look by placing a few lumeria blooms on the table amongst a few tea light candles. You can also purchase or make your own conch shell candles. Or even opt for these "Seashell" Shaped Ocean Mist Scented Candles 
7. A sand castle also makes a truly beautiful beach wedding centerpiece. You can make your own by buying plaster castles (available at craft stores), covering it in some wood glue and rolling in sand.

Create a beach scene on your tables by first making a beach out of a few handfuls of sand on a blue tablecloth or overlay. Place some Miniature Folding Beach Chairs 13. Fill a shallow glass bowl with some clean sea sand and coral pieces and complete with a scattering of pretty shells and votive candles or perhaps even some Seaside Tealight Candles 14. Place large pieces of driftwood in the center of the table and finish off with a pillar candle, shells, starfish and exotic flowers, or alternatively with a string of white fairy lights or themed lights. If you have no electricity (or you are worried about wires on the tables, try these Battery Operated Fairy Lights 15. A few simple tealight lanterns (like this Nantucket Fish Hurricane Lantern 16. For a bit of a modern (but still inexpensive) twist on your beach wedding centerpieces, try this easy idea: fill two different sizes of clear, square glass vases with clean, white beach sand and decorate with coral, pretty shells, starfish and seagrass.
Finish off with a few scattered votive or tea light candles or even some shell candles. This is very easy to put together yourself and can be created from items you have collected while strolling along the beach! 17. Another inexpensive idea is to fill a large clear glass pedestal bowl with a little clean sand and some pretty shells. This is great for a day wedding if you don't need any candles. Should you need some candles, then place a pillar candle in the center of the shells and scatter a few smaller votive candles or tea lights and shells around the arrangements. 18.
