Favorite Detail: Fish

The most kitschy and whimsical wedding that we featured was that of Lyndsey and Matt, where there were FISH in the centerpieces (among many other amazing details)!

we heart your comments!

Love it!
We’ve used fish in the centrepieces on a few funky weddings. Definitely a conversation starter!

Many people probably don’t know this but in some cultures, the fish is a symbol of good luck, prosperity and strength. So while it serves as a unique centerpiece, it also gives good vibes to the newlyweds.

My cousin did this, she married a guy with the last name Fish…it was a fish filled wedding. This was my favorite part.

That is SO cruel. It may look cool, but come on.

So those fish will just swim around in a glass for one evening, then… what happens to them after the reception?

We have an aquarium in our office for our ‘wedding fish’. We even have a portable pump we take on the road to ensure the fish have enough oxygen. It’s not cruel and they are well looked after.
