Gypsy, those are great floral arrangements.

What about these mercury glass pillar holders but they aren''t cheap....

these are cheaper: mercury glass taper holders



or these mercury glass shades

how about these cheap tealight holders

If you want to be creative, you could fill these vases with sand and put candles in these vases


these target vases are no longer on the website, but you might be able to find them at your local target.better yet

GTN I

you!!!! I''ve developed a thing for mercury glass and I really want to work it into my wedding and wowww you found some great options!! Btw, I also found a cute bowl at target the other day! It was only like $20 I think. Thank you so much!

gtn you rock. SO many lovely options on there. Those Z gallery tapers are TDF. I wonder if those copper ones would be overload with the orange overlays and chair sashes? And the silver ones make me want silver chargers on the tables... wonder what that would cost? I love them. And that''s 20 bucks a table ... so 160 bucks. A little over budget, but I LOVE THEM. LOVE THEM I say.

Gypsy - what fantastic ideas! Will you do a thread for my colors?! haha ^_-

Sarah - Linen''s and Things is also having a sale on glassware. You can get some pretty nice vases for 50% off like this one http://www.lnt.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3010398&sr=1&origkw=3010398 They used to have two other kinds online but they aren''t there anymore

If you go to the store I bet they still have some in stock.

I bought a really nice set of three vases for 9.99 from there. and then I used one of those 20% off coupons so they were really 8 a box. The vases are almost identical to the one pic that Gypsy posted with the three cylindrical vases with the floating candels. One of mine is a tad shorter I it seems.

But anyway, at $8 for three vases I can afford more on flowers if I do it myself. however I have found that most florists aren''t really willing to save you that much if you bring your own vase. So I will be looking into ordering wholesale online now.

Remember if you buy vases from Bed Bath and Beyond or Linen''s and Things you can use expired or competitor coupons! You might have ot go into the store 20 times depending on how many vases you need but every little bit of savings count rigth!?

April, I''ll do a thread with your colors for you. What are they? It might take me a couple of days to gather pics if its a color scheme I don''t have saved up... but I''d be happy to do it for you. : ) It helps if I know what the feel you want is, and what season your wedding is, so that I can advise you of flowers in season if I know that information.

Hey Gypsy (sorry Mimzy for thread jacking) thanks so much for the offer!

I actually have a TON of pictures saved up and an idea of what I want sorta. So I''ll post up a thread first (just so that you don''t go through all the trouble and we end up having the same or totally different ideas) and then I''d love to hear your (and everyone else''s) opinons and suggestions!

Now if only work would give me ''wedding leave'' so I could have time to put those mood boards together....

 

[Gypsy]

Can''t wait for the thread April!
