Let’s talk about water beads and wedding reception lighting. We’ve moved so far away from the original days of kitschy water beads that kids used to play with and have since found new ways of using water pearls and LED candles to create elegant décor for almost any occasion.
Have a look at some of these ideas to get you thinking about incorporating LED candles and water pearls into your party decor.
Cost effective, long lasting, versatile and easy to use – these are just some of the many things we love about our water beads collection. In addition to this, they can be used in floral arrangements to prolong the life of flowers. To give arrangements a real pop, you can also place submersible floralytes into your vases and light up your arrangements at night.
Here are some beautiful examples of how to execute this gorgeous look:

It’s such a simple, yet effective idea. As dramatic as this look is, you could also calm it down by adding in a bit of beach sand with hessian wrapped around the vase to get a beach look, add a bit of shells even.

At the bottom of your choice of vase, use ribbon and patterned gift wrapping paper to serve as a contrast to the coloured water beads of your choice.
For lighting at a wedding, the twinklier the better, right? But nobody has time to relight candles after every breeze, so the solution is simple: LED candle lights. There are so many options to choose from, but here are some of our favourites:
A gorgeous way of bringing light in or outdoors. Did you know that hanging floralytes can also be hung inside paper lanterns? Simply attach to the little wire expander inside the lantern, and you're good to go.

These berries last for ages and bring such a stunning touch to any water feature pieces. They're water-resistant, so they're great for use in floral arrangements, too.
