After my last post about centerpieces, I have become totally obsessed with collecting milk glass vases, glasses, and pitchers. I have been so lucky and have found some great pieces for really cheap! I'm so excited that not only will they be beautiful and unique at the reception; I'll get to keep them and enjoy them for years to come. I think I have around 50 pieces at this point, so I think it may be time to stop! (My mom DARED me to buy any more! haha!)eBay is where I found most of everything. The prices I found were amazing! I got a set of 8 milk glass goblets for $12 and a beautiful small milk glass pitcher for $.99!
We decided to do a little trial run in our kitchen just to see what some of the vases looked like together. It turned out exactly like I wanted it to! We used pink roses from the garden but will be using white and green flowers at the reception. I love the look of the varying heights of vases and the warm glow of the tealights surrounding them. Also, they will be sitting on either champagne or pear green table cloths, so the white vases will really pop! We are doing all of the reception decor flowers ourselves, so it's good to know this was so easy!
Here are a few pictures:
I was just playing around one day thinking of how I was going to display my collection after the wedding, and found so many great inspiration pictures. I can't wait for us to have our own place and hopefully I'll be able to do something like these:
Today is June 1, which means the wedding is just about a year away! YAY! :)
