Ideas

There are some floating candle bowls that are shaped just like a fish bowl. These can be fun to use is a variety of different ways. First, they can be used in the summertime to create a festive look for a beach party. Seashells can litter the bottom of the bowl and also places on the tables to pull the entire look together. The floating candles can be shaped in the form of fish, sea shells, star fish or other sea creatures so that each floating candle bowl looks like its own fish tank. Some of these floating candle bowls are shaped like half of a coconut and are filled with a floating candle that looks like a mini-island. These bowls can be placed on a little pile of sand to complete the look, with a little umbrella that is used in drinks propped up beside it.

Other floating candle bowls are in an hourglass shape, which creates a different look for the centerpiece. One idea to use with this shape of floating candle bowl is to fill the bottom of it with colored glass pieces and then float glass bubbles in the water to add to the sparkle from the candle. The candle can be plain, but it could also be a floating flower candle, in the color or theme of the event. These flower shaped candles can be in a variety of different types of flowers, such as orchids, magnolias, and water lilies.

Floating candle bowls can also be made to create a festive look for the holiday seasons. For instance, the bowl can be filled with cranberries and filled with water. A white ribbon can be tied around the outside of the bowl and the candles that are floating within should also be white for a Christmasy look. A great look for Thanksgiving can also use cranberries, but it can be surrounded by colored leaves rather than a ribbon, and the candles floating within can be shaped as leaves or a couple leaves and then round fall colored candles.
