Kind of cool, I've definitely never been to a wedding that had that. Some of your guests can take them home too! That's a very unique idea....
my friend went to a wedding in NJ and they did that - she thought they looked really cool
Yes!!!! my best friend's wedding, she had beta fish in red and blue with different blue and red rocks on the bottom of the bowls. She scattered orchids around the bowls with few votives. She got married in 04, and i still have my fish from the wedding!
I went to a wedding where the centerpiece was tall (bottom was the tube) with fish and the top was the flowers. It looked really nice.
i personally do not like the idea. you would have to hope that enough people at the wedding actually want to leave with a pet so they all have a home at the end of the night. also, though they are easy to care for, not everyone knows how to or is willing to put in the effort for the little guys, so you would have to send them home with food, fishnet, and care instructions as well. plus that is a lot of stress for the fish with the travel to and from the reception, not to mention if the flowers are in the same water as the beta it can harm it. i don't mean to put a damper on the idea, i do think it looks awesome (of course i do, i am getting married in an aquarium!). i just don't like the idea for centerpieces. good luck! ~lacey
I thought this was the coolest thing and did it at my graudation party. It really will not put a good mood on the party if there are fish belly up in bowls on the tables. It sounds cool but it probably wouldn't be great for your wedding
We are thinking about doing this as well...we both love to fish and thought it would be a nice addition to the wedding. good luck
I found a pic with live fish as a CP, I hope the pic comes out.
You can also have the centerpieces as a giveaway, at the end of the night. Only have the people interested in winning them enter with the DJ. Just an idea.

I was wondering what people's opinions were on having fishbowls with live fish as part of their centerpiece.
Does anyone have other ideas for unique centerpieces?![]()
Unique idea - I love it!!!

when my mom's friend did this she people only took the flowers home.. the fish stayes
My sister had centerpieces with live fish for her FH's surprise bday party... some people got drunk and thought it would be funny to eat them!
i know that my moms friend didn't take them home b/c she hates animals.. even fish, maybe the florist keeps them for other parties??i don't know exactly
Don't have a picture but I once seen a centerpiece with all white feathers...it looked SO pretty!!!
