I love antique blue glass. It is attractive and unique, and I love that everything antique comes with a back story. My ring is antique and my dress has an antique feel with all of the lace. Since we are going to have green and blue as our color scheme (green is my favorite color and blue is his), it makes great sense to incorporate these colors into the centerpieces, and what better way than with these little beauties? Here are some pictures of antique blue glass being used as vessels for flowers:
As luck would have it I was helping my mom with a garage sale this weekend and one of her friends brought a box of antique blue glass pieces to sell. I didn't notice them until some people picked them up to buy, but have no fear as I quickly ran over to claim them. For 15$ I got 8 pieces, one of which has a date of 1838 on it! I am going to use the blue ones--hopefully I will find more for as cheap-- along with my own clear ones from bouquets Nick has bought me. The blue vases are so pretty they do not need many flowers, if any at all! If we can steer away from the huge ball of carnations and just go with the single stem idea, we will save a bundle and end up with lovely tables. Yay!

Hey Julie
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. The secret is just using one flower per vase. Less really is more. Will be on the look out for blue vases.
Love the dress that you picked. You are going to be a beautiful bride.

I have some white milkglass vases you can borrow if you'd like. They look a lot like the white ones in one of the pictures. And I will keep a lookout for more blue! I love this idea...and green is my favorite colour, too!
ReplyDeleteThat would be awesome, Savannie! Let me know if you ladies find some blue ones. Green is great! hehe
