    I've seen quite a few centerpieces on inspirational boards that had the beads. Did you want to use flowers on top or candles?

    Thanks kimi..I actually JUST found a video that i just watched on how to do them.apparently if you layer the clear water beads with flowers you will get the floating flower effect inside the vase..the keep pouring water in after everything is layered so its transparent and the water on top i can put a floating candle..kinda like this..but my vases will be taller with the candle on top...i just hope they turn out as good as the video..Smiley smile

    We are using them for color in our centerpieces and lighting them with submersible LED's. We are putting our kissing balls from the ceremony on 5" cubes filled with them.

    If you also use distilled water I've heard that they will get a touch bigger than regular tap water..... This is something I've heard don't know if it's true or not, but give it a try.
