Tranquil Centerpieces: The Best Tabletop Fountains for Special Events
If you're planning a wedding, company event or other important occasion, you know how hard it can be to hunt down just the right centerpiece. The item you place in the center of the table can have a great impact on the overall look of the room, and will be in the line of vision of your guests throughout nearly the entire celebration. Choose a special centerpiece that will really get them talking. Tabletop fountains are ideal centerpieces and add a dash of the unexpected to the room's decor. The fountains we've chosen below are reasonably priced, fit a wide range of decor styles and look great from every angle.
Envirascape Rustic Illumination Lantern Fountain
This fountain centerpiece is a steal that packs a far bigger punch than a vase of flowers. Perfect for outdoor celebrations like wedding receptions and garden parties, this tabletop water fountain features a realistic-looking candle inside a black lantern. Water streams up from inside the illuminated 'candle' and disappears into a hidden basin. The light hitting the moving water will cast a beautiful reflection, especially at night.
Riverbend Illuminated Tabletop Fountain
Perfect for those who prefer a streamlined modern look, the Riverbend Fountain mimics the style of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The movable top tier allows you to adjust the water flow for a customized look and sound. The river rocks inside could also be replaced with clear glass marbles, colored rocks or any other accent you'd like to incorporate. Softly illuminated from within, this striking fountain will add serenity and style to any occasion.
Silver Spring Illuminated Tabletop Fountain
The modern design of this fountain will blend seamlessly into the design vision of those who want flowing water and a romantic feel with an edgier look. The multiple tiers of this fountain allow water to cascade down into the basin for a stream-like water sound. Crisp black and silver make a span statement while the natural river rocks add a softer touch. The river rocks can easily be removed or replaced with something that matches your color scheme.
Why just have flowers on the table when you can combine them with the tranquil sounds of a water fountain? This beautifully designed tabletop fountain is crafted of ceramic, copper and slate. The natural materials combined with the soothing green hue of the vase make this an ideal centerpiece for relaxed affairs. It features the eye-catching detail of a sculpted flower on the vase and water streaming from the top of the vase down slate tiers into the basin. The vase can be used to place flowers in for a unique effect.
Not sure how to deal with the electric cords? Your best option is to cut a small hole in the center of a table runner that you can pull the plug through. Tape the cord down onto the tablecloth under the runner, and it will be invisible to guests. That way, you won't be ruining expensive tablecloths (particularly when you're renting) ' seek out budget-friendly fabric to use for the runners or check discount retailers. This works best with square or rectangular tables that are set up end-to-end so you won't have cords running along the floor. Talk to your event coordinator about the best way to handle the cords if you're using round tables.
