Many couples are tired of seeing the same expensive floral arrangements as wedding table centerpieces over and over again, and are looking for new and interesting ways to decorate their wedding tables. In the quest for finding new and unique ideas for wedding centerpieces, fishbowl wedding centerpieces have sparked a pretty sharp controversy. Fishbowl wedding centerpieces are not a widely used decoration, and yet the mere thought of having them gets many people a little hot under the collar. So, if you are looking for some relatively new and unique wedding centerpieces ideas, then here are some great pros and cons to using fishbowl wedding centerpieces.
Advantages to Fishbowl Wedding Centerpieces
Goldfish and other types of fish are beautiful creatures and I can see why couples would want them to help decorate their wedding. The color of the goldfish with the movement of the fish can create a feast for the eyes. Also, fishbowl wedding centerpieces are easy to create. Collect as many fishbowls or other vases that appeal to you, and fill the bottom with decorative rocks, plants or even flower petals. Another thought is to put just a few long stem blooms into the fish bowl, allowing the fish places to hide and swim through, which they love! For an added touch of fun, attach a small fish food packet to each fishbowl and allow the children at the tables to feed the fish. Plus, once the night is over and you are packing up your centerpieces, they can be handed out to families or guests as a fun reminder of your wedding. If you fear the fish won't be cared for properly, then you can always donate the fish to a nearby school or daycare.
Disadvantages to Fishbowl Wedding Centerpieces
While many people believe that fishbowl wedding centerpieces are a great idea for centerpieces, others get a little hot under the collar at the idea. This could be because many brides do not research the necessary living conditions for the fish they are purchasing, resulting in the premature death of dozens of fish. Many types of fish are pretty hardy and can survive the night if it's not too bright or the vibrations of the music aren't very loud and long. Other people are concerned that the fishbowl wedding centerpieces could be somehow mistreated by bored children or immature wedding guests. If this could be a potential problem with your wedding, then it may be prudent to choose another wedding centerpiece for your wedding tables.
Fishbowl wedding centerpieces can be an extremely beautiful centerpiece if done correctly and with some regard for the fish. There are many different kinds of beautiful, hardy and colorful fish that will do well in fishbowl wedding centerpieces. Just be sure to do your research so that the fish you use can live a long and happy life.
