Fish Bowl Centerpieces: Using Fish Bowls In Your Centerpieces

A fish bowl may not immediately come to mind when you're planning your next centerpiece, but maybe it should. They offer a lot of versatility without much expense. They are also simple enough to not take attention away from what's inside of them. If you're scratching your head trying to think of ideas, we'll help you out.

A plain glass fish bowl can be used to hold many items, including fish. Centerpieces with live fish have become popular wedding reception decorations. If you choose this option for your wedding, make sure that the fish are going home with guests who really want them. The idea sounds cute, but a lot of people just don't have time to take care of a little aquatic friend. If you're decorating your home and already have fish, why not get them closer to the action by incorporating them into a centerpiece. Tie a ribbon around the top of the bowl to match any occasion, or place items on the table around the bowl, such as matching votives or tealight holders. It's always important to make sure you aren't adversely affecting your fish, so make sure they're in an area that will be healthy for them.

Another idea is to fill a fish bowl with water and one or more floating candles. There are numerous ways to personalize this centerpiece to your liking, including dyeing the water to your favorite color, or by adding river rocks or decorative stones. Floating candles come in a variety of colors and shapes to suit any season or occasion, from roses to autumn leaves to snowflakes. For some added glamour, put a mirrored panel or a metallic charger plate under the bowl. These centerpieces often have a very soft and romantic look to them and are great for any occasion.

For a tasty edible centerpiece, fill the fish bowl with candy. This is a great option for Halloween, as well as Christmas and Easter. Individually wrapped Halloween candy can be displayed in this bowl which makes it easy to see what you're reaching for. Tie a red or green ribbon around the top for a Christmas look, or a pastel ribbon for a bowl filled with Easter eggs.

If you have a green thumb you can turn your plain fish bowl into a terrarium and try growing some small plants in the bowl. This centerpiece will have people talking and trying to figure out what other talents they don't know about. Visit your local greenhouse to find out more information about which plants work best in terrariums and how to get them started.

As you can see, fish bowls can be used in a variety of ways for both home and special occasion decorating, and these are only a few ideas to get you started!
Why not use one as a vase for some gorgeous long stemmed flowers? Give it a try and add some beauty to your home.
