Things that float- desparate for some ideas.

Things that float- desparate for some ideas.

I need some big time help here. I have most of my floating candle centerpiece done. I want to use the floating candles, but dont want them to freely float. I was hoping there would be some kind of marble or bead that floated that I could fill the empty space with. My colors are pink and fuschia, and my last last last resort is going to be cranberries (since red is going to mess with my color scheme). I dont want to use rose petals since I alredy have a base of floral. Any other suggestions? I am desparate for ideas.

This is what my centerpiece basically looks like (I am not using the marbles at the bottom and I would like to use less candles)


This is the idea that I am going for, but i dont want to use red

You can use white cranberries.... I'll try to think of more ideas...

What about the decorative soaps, I am not sure if they float, and I don't know how long they last, but it's a thought.

Also, what about the 'bead' wax that they use to make your own candles?? It's almost like pebbles.

Faux pearls, artificial grapes (haha), plastic ornaments??

I was going to say the bead wax as well. Comes in every color and will def. float.
