... assorted shells and other sea ceatures arranged on a plate...
... it doesn't get any simpler than that...
... instead of a plate use a pedestal glass bowl and you get this striking display...
... or Rachel Ray's beachy idea using sand, shells and sea grass..., and she wants you to submit your own fabulous centerpiece! Her Table Centerpiece Contest ends on April 16, 2009, plenty of time to create something or go through your photo files...
... this one has my wow and is my absolute favorite, made with two cylindrical vases. The smaller vase, holding Hydrangeas, is placed inside the bigger one filled with sand and seashells...
... then add water and floating candles to the seashell mix, a concept that would look lovely using a group of wine glasses too...
... and lastly a sophisticated piece by Martha Stewart, always wonderful, but not so simple. Which one is your favorite?It's Tablescape Thursday over @ Between Naps on the Porch!

These centerpieces are so much fun, and I love that tablescape with the blue! Thank you so much for sharing these. I love sea themes, and I think these are just perfect!
Happy Tablescape Tuesday!

What great ideas for setting up a beach themed table!
hydrangeas and shells - that's a winner!
I think I like Marthas...but the candle one is nifty too!
We accrue so many shells...that I was just playing with them today...wonderin' what to do with them all! Thanks for the timely post!
You have given me so many wonderful ideas! Thanks for posting them!
My favorite is the one in the footed glass bowl. I am a floral designer and do this! Maybe I will submit a centerpiece! Beautiful post! Please come on over to Susan's to see my FIRST TT post! Thanks, Pinky
AWESOME!!! Love the pedestal bowl of shells and also the floating candle one.
Always a hit, those seashells!
Cheers, Candy
Wonderful inspiration!!
Amazing ideas! Who knew they could be so simple!
I like the hydrangea in the sand and shells! This post reminds me of the shells in vases in Something's Gotta Give, loved those! Beautiful - thank you for the visual delight!
Oooh - They all look good to me. Thanks for the inspiration!
All are pretty -- I like the floaty thing best I think.

LOVELY shell decor for tables!
Oh, I'll have to try some of those. I'm giving away shells on my blog right now. I love searching for them on the beach!
Beautiful post!

I can't pick one! They are all so pretty. Thanks for all the ideas. Mighthave to try one this weekend.
Now take a guess -- which one would be my favorite? That's right! It's the sea shells + hydrangea! I can think of no other flower that is more appropriate for the coastal setting than the big leafed hydrangeas! Beautiful combination and great post!
Love the image of that northern beach, all rugged and beautiful in its own way.
Great suggestions on how to use our shell collections to beautifuly our homes. Am finally getting unpacked at the new beach cottage and appreciated the inspiration.
Those photos are really gorgeous!
Great ideas!
Great ideas...I love the sand one with all the shells and the floating candle one best. :-) Thanks for the inspiration! Susan
What beautiful centerpieces and so easy - just my style. :) Thanks for sharing them!
Candles are intrinsically connected to many events in our lives, such as birthdays, holiday dinners and religious celebrations. Recently, however, candles have become a part of our everyday lives adding warmth style and mood to every room in your home. See how the candles have managed doing this.
Fabulous ideas - I usually skip picking up seashells - but this time brought some home from Florida and was in search of ideas! I love all of them - fav is the hydrangeas and the floating candles! Thank you - now to go shop and design! :-)
Wow! Gorgeous! It's great idea centerpiece with seashell. I think cymbidium orchid would be good harmony with this style.
