Fabric Squares
-
Create a base for your centerpieces by cutting 12-inch-by-12-inch squares of denim. You can purchase denim fabric at a fabric store or you can re-purpose old denim clothing. Wash and dry the squares to fray the edges and sprinkle with confetti for a casual feel. Or, hem the edges and accent them with diamond rhinestones for a touch of elegance. Place the fabric squares in the middle of your tables.
Flowers
-
Look to your garden to find blue and white flower centerpieces that will match the diamond and denim theme. Or, create drama by creating arrangements with a contrasting color, such as sunflowers. Create your own casual centerpieces using clear jars, bowls and vases you have around the house, but add a diamond-and-denim look by wrapping these containers with denim ribbons and hanging faux diamonds from the flower stems. You can also fill the vases with faux diamonds before putting the flowers in for even more sparkle. For a more upscale feel, contact a florist and arrange for blue and white bouquets in matching vases. Some florists will even be able to add crystals to the arrangements for extra glamour.

Candles and Balloons
-
If you are working on a tight budget, candles or balloons can be more affordable than flowers but can still add to the diamond-and-denim ambiance. To make a candle centerpiece, start with a decorative plate or charger. Add a few pillar candles of varying heights. Customize the candles to your theme by wrapping them with denim ribbons and gluing diamond rhinestones onto them in decorative patterns. To make diamond-and-denim balloon centerpieces, group blue balloons with either white or silver. Use diamond-shaped paperweights to secure the balloon bunches.
Western Touches
-
If you want to steer your party towards a Western denim theme, creative centerpieces can be made using old cowboy boots. These can be purchased inexpensively at thrift or secondhand stores. Place a glass inside the boot and arrange flowers inside. Sunflowers or wildflowers add a casual, Western flair while white roses complement the elegant, diamond part of the theme. Add extra touches like sparkly rhinestones scattered around the boot arrangement.
