I bought silk ivory rose garland… the kind on the green plastic "chain". On sale they were $6 each. I bought 5 of them.

Then I bought small "fishbowl" glass bowls with a fluted edge. They were $1 each.

I also bought floating flower candles. They were $4 for a bag of 9.

I made "candle rings" from the rose garland by taking about 10" garland and cutting it at the plastic chain. I took that and made a ring out of it and secured it with twist ties like the ones that come with smaller garbage bags.

Then I simply filled each bowl with water and added the floating candle. They were very simple, elegant and inexpensive. If you wanted to, you could color the water with food coloring to match your colors. If you go online to ebay and look at candle rings, they looked exactly the same, sometimes nicer and they were so inexpensive.

I only used 3 garlands for the actual centerpieces, I used the rest for other areas of the hall. Total cost $43 for 17 centerpieces… that is $2.52 each. I put 2 on each table and scattered lavender silk flower petals and purple hershey's kisses on the tables. It was awesome.

I love the glitter idea. My colors were lavender and ivory. I used ivory candles in the water because I couldn't find my color.

Best of luck to you. I wish I had a picture to send to you. I wish I knew you so I could send you all of them. I have it all except the floating candles in storage and it is only a year old. Email me. Seriously, I would love for someone to enjoy them again.
