Vases?

I bought Mason Jars from Wal*Mart in the canning aisle. They have them in 12 packs I think. Fairly priced... I think $12-$15 is what I paid.

I got decently priced vases from a local Glass Barn store in Cincinnati. I was happy to buy local.

Im with Linda R about the great deals @ Micheals, I've bought my Eiffel Tower vases,the really tall ones, using the 40% off coupons (I didnt know about the loyalty club though, I'll be checking that out! I've spent some $ @ Michaels!!!)

The dollar stores around here have

On craigslist and ebay you can often find brides trying to unload all the items they used at their weddings.

I'm looking for tall trumpet vases if anyone has seen some inexpensive ones

I purchased 25 vases from the Dollar Tree!

Craigslist - I've bought so far:

(12) 12" cylinder vases 4" diameter for $30

(16) 24" Eiffel Tower Vases $50

(28) 36" Eiffel Tower Vases for $150

300 plus 2" votives w/ unuesed candles $40

200 plus lbs of clear stone vase fillers $25

10 Bages of Crystal vase filler $5.00

16 Styrofoam Flower Arrangment thingys for the vases - Free (came w/ the vases)

And a ton of other stuff that I'm not sure what to do with yet. I don't need all of this so once I make the final decision I'll put it back on CL and hopefully turn profit.

WOW Marie!! Thanks so much!!

This is a great site for printable coupons: http://printable-coupons.blogspot.com/

We bought carafes at a discount store for $3 each. Dollar Tree is a good option and allows ordering online with pick up at a store I think.

Also, I think some craft stores accept competitors' coupons so keep that in mind too!

Those are some AWESOME ideas, girlies!! TY :-) I'm so excited to get started now so that when Christmas clearance comes I can grab my branches and other seasonal items and get the center pieces done, 11 months in advance :-)

Here was my Craigslist find:

14 10" cylinder vases

27 7" cylinder vases

22 6" cylinder vases

120 votive holders= $125 and a half hour drive

So far no dice on Craigs but I have time to find vases. I'm more concerned presently with the seasonal items needed for my centerpieces since they'll be on clearance in 4 weeks :-)

Wally world.

Dollar Tree and the Thrift Store is my friend. I have a really small budget but I am a great bargin shopper. I also check craigslist daily alot of brides are selling the decorations for about 75% less than what they paid.

Hobby Lobby and Michaels both have really nice ones. I actually came across some on clearance at Dollar General buy one at 50% off the the 2nd free. I purchased 4 for 2.00 only bc I couldn't leave them at the store. When all was said and done not using for wedding but for a different occassion. Just too good of a deal to pass up

We made our own centerpieces, and I purchased all the vases at the Dollar Tree Store.

And for the tall centerpieces that we did DIY, we just borrowed them from a friend. Use your connections :-)

Like everyone said hobby lobby normally has 50% but just in case they are not , here is a coupon that you can use , today is the last day for this one but if you sign up for their weekly emails, you will get a coupon emailed to you to get 40% off one item.

GOOD TO KNOW!!! Thank you for that, my FFIL works for Hobby Lobby and I'm sure he can keep an eye out for the things I need on sale. Coupons also do not hurt.
