Decorations

Hi,We are having a beach wedding in February, but are coming in and leaving via cruise ship, so we are going to do a 2 hour cocktail reception in Nassau and then have dinner with all of our guests on the ship.  The problem I'm running into is trying to find something to make the tables look nice.  We can't too much along as we are traveling.  The tables are outside in a grassy area by the beach and will have white tablecloths.  I want to make things look more like a wedding though and have some sort of centerpiece.  I don't want to buy a bunch of flowers since we'll only be there for 2 hours.  Was thinking of sprinkling multi-colored starfish on all the tables with different colored sand pails in the center (we are going more fun than formal) - I can't figure out what would be nice in those sand pails though!  I don't think candles would work because it's during the day and it's windy.  Any bright ideas???  Thanks!

    I think that your idea sounds nice. Although I would try to dress it up just a bit and go with a metal pail like the ones below and put a candle inside and do starfish in their natural color on the outside.

    Thank you!  I really like the looks of that first one - Do you know where I could get it??

    I just used google images to get the pictures but I'm sure if you look around Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or even Wal Mart you'll be able to find something like this. Even if it's not a specific beach design find one with punched holes it it and insert a candle set in sand. Also, look for the pails now. These places should be getting rid of all of their summer decor so you should be able to get it for a decent price. Good luck.

    What about a glass vase partially filled with sand and seashells?
