For a truly unique centerpiece idea, create enchanted worlds of light as the softness of pastels and the glimmer of metal come together in candle sleeves and a runner of sheer metallic fabric. The little bags dress up votives, while the sleek glass cylinders filled with water hold floating candles. The runner makes a stunning backdrop for any celebratory centerpiece. Fill them with water and floating candles, then veil them with the gossamer colors of our Iridescent Sleeves. By Illuminations.com

VICTORIAN SHADOWBOX

After spending so much picking out just the right wedding invitation, why stuff it in a drawer after the wedding to be forgotten? This shadow box project will not only personalize your home, but it's a great way to display your wedding invitation.

Personalize this project by using perserved flowers from your bouquet if they were fresh, or use parts of your silk bouquet. Use a ribbon color that matches your invitation or that you used as a one of your wedding colors. And instead of painting the shadow box gold, you can stain it, leave it as is, or paint it to match the decor of your home. Regardless of how you decide to put this craft together, you will have a wonderful keepsake of the happiest day of your life for years to come!
