Seashell/Sea Life Tea Light Lanterns

Click for larger image
Whether you live at the beach or not, these Coastal Garden Lights look amazing at night.

You can find these lantern style tea light holders at most craft stores (also home improvement stores).

Simply attach any sort of sea shell or sea life to one or all sides of the lantern and you have an instant coastal theme!

Hot glue is probably the best way to adhere them to the glass.  Depending on what type of lantern you use, you can also try putting shells inside for a different effect.

They look absolutely gorgeous lit up just after sun down.  They also look great at a Luau.

Heart Cockle Centerpiece

Click for larger image
Everyone is looking for a great centerpiece idea.  It can be especially difficult to come up with unique ideas for weddings.

Here we incorporated branches from trees in our yard, some hot pink nylon ribbon and Heart Cockle (True Heart) seashells to make a gorgeous display.

We placed three 1.5' branches so that they intertwined with each other and then loosely wrapped the nylon ribbon around.  Then we placed the Heart shells at our discretion around the display.

The contrast of the dark branches and hot pink ribbon with the white shells looks amazing.

You can use any type of shell that fits your theme however the Heart Shells are highly recommended!
