Beach Party – Seashell Candle Holders July 24, 2008

Whether you’re inviting friends to your beach house or throwing a beach theme party on your rooftop, seashell candle holders will add an authentic flare to your beach party decore.  Use real seashells and place a votive candle or tea light (removed from the tin holder) in the open side of the shell.  If you have any lying around, sprinkle tiny little shells inside the candle and watch them float in the wax as the candle melts.  If you aren’t on an actual beach, fill a shallow bowl or plate with sand and nestle the seashells in the sand before lighting them.  A fun use for those shells you collected on vacation, and a great way to create ambiance for your beach party.

  1. Love these! So beachy! We’re always looking for beach wedding ideas. Here is an idea we came up with for these mini lanterns that we sell in our store. They make great beach wedding centerpieces on long tables and add elegance to an evening beach gathering. Here is the link to the lanterns: http://www.beachthemeweddingshop.com/mini-lanterns.html.

  2. This is a cute idea…I will somehow link this post on my seashell blog.
