Hey all
Need a bit of advise. I'v come across these water beads and really like them, dont know why but I do!!!!
Anyway, for my centerpiece's, I'm wanting fish bowls, with white Calla Lilies and I was thinking of putting a few, not to many of these water beads in the bottom. But I dont know if they will look right together and I would just ruin them by putting these in.
I do have pictures in my profile, of how I want my centerpiece to look ( flowers are the wrong colour though!!) and also a picture of these water beads.
Can you please honestly tell me wht you think please, as I'm not really very good at this kind of stuff. Thanks .xxx

My BIL2B had fish bowls, filled the bottoms with the water beads, hid a fake candle light thing in the beads to light it all up and then had a big cala lily sat in the middle and had bear grass around the inside of the bowl. Not sure I've explained it very well but sounds similar to what you want and it looked stunning, I loved them and it looked so pretty lit up x

All of my dreams come true the day I married you, Mr Walker

I really like the idea behind the water beads but not sure if they would work with your centrepieces as I think they might obscure the lillies. Is there any way you can try it out?
- CommentAuthorFlossie
I love these beads.....i'm having them in purple.....looked at your table centres.....they're lovely btw, but don't think the beads would work well with that style, they might distort the shape of the flowers. The beads are quite heavy coz they soak up water so think it would probably be best just to have them in water.
Hope this helps. x
- CommentAuthorMrsBroady2B
Yeh I would have some purple as well Flossie as thats my colour theme. My mum came up with a good idea though of how I could use some. At the night do, there will be more tables than there was for the wedding reception, so for the extra tables that wont have centrepieces on, I was going to get some ballons, but she said about tying the ballons to some small but heavy weight and place it in a not too big vase, filled with these water beads.
And melody, I love the idea of having a light in them. That would look brill at the night do. :) xx

We're having water beads and a submersible tea light then big gerbera heads in hurricane vases as our centrepieces. Gonna make one up over Easter and have a look but in my head it's nice!

What on earth are water beads and submersible tea lights!!!!

I feel very dense right now!!! Lol

*off she trots to google things.......*

Xxx
- CommentAuthorMrsBroady2B
Looks lovely Emsy5000. I really want the light's in them now. Think they will great at thr night do when the light's are down.
Also having a peek at your other pictures, thats a lovely idea making your rings. Where did you do that?
- CommentAuthorkrisw86
i'm having water beads in vases for my centrepieces. just gotta sort out which flower i'm having in the vases, or whether i should just stick with the beads.
lullie, i'd google it. it will give u all the info on them u need. xx
- CommentAuthorMrsBroady2B
Oh lulliebuscuit, you should have a look, they are brill. They are these tiny looking beads, then you soak them in water for a few hours and they soak it in and expand. They come in loads of colours. Not too expensive to buy eaither.
- CommentAuthortilomilo

i have the clear water beads and they are lovely your centre pieces sound very much like mine but im having 3 stacked on top of each other pics are in my album xx
- CommentAuthorWeeMintyMonkie
I like the water bead idea!

I had some in a vase at home for a while!!

- CommentAuthorKayteeG
I think the beads are nice, but I don't think that particular style centrepiece needs them to be honest - they look lovely as they are and the beads might be a bit too much x
- CommentAuthorKaya
We had waterbeads, in fish bowls with flowers on top, on mirrored plates. Looked lush. x

Now Mrs Cobb!!!!!! :-D
- CommentAuthorshellay
we have them in our goldfish bowls, and a large burgundy rose on top, they look amazing, i would definitely recommend them :) x

I have know my soulmate for 27 years and on the 6th August
I married him and became Mrs Garnham.
It was most definitely the happiest day of my life.
I love married life !!!!
- CommentAuthorKaya
This is a quick mock up we did at home before the wedding, it's clear and purple beads, we had mirrored plates and scatter crystals too, and had the flowers in lilac, cadbury purple and orange x

- CommentAuthorBex
These all look beautiful, my MOH is going to help with the centre pieces as she is really creative

I like the idea of the water beads with the lights in at night - what kind of lights do you put it? Will the water in the beads not affect them?

xx
- CommentAuthorLaura
How much are the fishbowls roughly?X
- CommentAuthorKaya
Our fishbowls were £9.50 from marks and spencers x

Now Mrs Cobb!!!!!! :-D
- CommentAuthorKaz
Some sellers hire them! (on the bay)
Some sell them quite cheap but it does depend on how big you want them!
Stuck a link on your wall laura xx

WARNING:
I say the first thing I think of!
- CommentAuthorjo2013
