Use colorful fish as table centerpiece inspiration.
When planning a beach-themed party or a birthday bash for a fisherman, create a handmade fishy centerpiece. If you object to using live fish as decor for ethical reasons, make charming centerpieces inspired by the real thing. Incorporate fishing accessories or tropical colors and plants into the design element for an authentic look. Does this Spark an idea?
Floating Fish Candles
Set a colorful and charming table using whimsical floating fish candles. Fill a large clear glass vessel or fish bowl with light blue-tinted water, and place a handful of vibrant rocks or stones on the bottom. Create a realistic aquarium look by including a few plastic plants in the design. Set tropical fish-inspired floating candles on top of the water so they can glide freely around the vessel. You can also use fish-shaped floating tea light holders filled with brightly hued candles.
Underwater Display
If you are hosting a birthday party for an avid fisherman, create a one-of-a-kind centerpiece that reflects his passion. Fill a long, shallow clear glass container with a mix of fresh greens and leaves, as well as a few stones, to resemble a lake or river bottom. Set realistic-looking fish ornaments or figurines among the greens, along with a few fishing bobbers. You can have a florist make the green arrangement for you, or design one using faux plants to save money. Set out fish bowls filled with gummy worms so guests can munch on sweet treats throughout the party.
Fishy Table
Set the stage for nautical decor by covering the dinner table with new fish netting. Create a fish-inspired garland using tissue paper and place it down the center of the table, under the netting. Design a simple centerpiece by filling a large glass fishbowl with an assortment of new or vintage fishing lures, or an interesting combination of both. Fill a tackle box with candies, cookies or other treats and set it next to the bowl; allow each guest to take a lure and edible goody home with him as a favor.
