Best Sparkling Diamond Themed Candle Centerpiece Recipes
HOLIDAY SPARKLING FRUIT CENTERPIECE
Beautiful and easy presentation. When we were non kid we back lit the glass cake stand with low candles, now that we have our son we use a small standing night light set just part way under the cake stand to illuminate the centerpiece and keep it kid safe. Not knowing how large you'll make your centerpiece you'll have to guesstimate on the quantity of fruit needed. On occasion I also toast the whole walnuts and while still warm thread (needle and dark thread) them to look like pine cones without the jelly and sugar coatings.

SPARKLING DIAMOND THEMED CANDLE CENTERPIECE
There are so many variations of creating an elegant centerpiece for the main tables, or each table of a wedding reception. With Themed weddings, simple centerpieces work best, since there are colors for the tablecloths, napkins, and floral. If you don't want to use candles, then using battery operated lights also work in the vases, along with adding filmy tulle, or other diaphonous material.

To make this centerpiece, you need 3 to 6 large pillar candles, and a few medium candles, color of your choice, votive candles, lots of glass or plastic faceted beads (plastic is cheaper, but glass looks more elegant. For large centerpiece, set up candles inside of vases, or hurricane lamps, or other crystal type glass receptacle.
