PLANTER/FLOWER URNS???? Cheap - Please HELP!?

Hi! I'm looking for someplace to get relatively cheap planter urns to serve as my vase for my reception centerpiece. The wedding is already over budget, so please - if you know someone or someplace that sell this urns for cheap - let me know.





ps. my wedding theme is tuscan, so i think these would be an ideal centerpiece. Would also appreciate of other suggestions on other cheap centerpieces.





THANKS A LOT!!!

....take any ol' thing you find that you like at a second hand shop, that's within budget, and paint it an adobe-taupe, flat (latex) color (carefully blow dry the wet paint to "cure" it to difficult surfaces, if you're short on time). In the end, even if a little of the old gold or red shows through, it will look like it costs a thousand million bucks. Then you can add your classic floral touches!! Good luck, doll!
Reply:I suggest visiting wedding directory such as http://www.weddinglenox.com





Unlike most yellow pages, they have price comparison for the vendors (DJ,videographer, florist, and photographer) you can choose.





You can also try their matching system http://www.weddinglenox.com/f-membersign... that will match you up with local vendors. I tried it and have good result as I only recieved responses from vendors according to my request.





One problem I had with my wedding is that it is hard to locate vendors in most website as most likely they group by states and there are too many of them that's too far from me and I have to look at each site to figure out.





The sites I provide above have a easy to use layout to show you pictures, pricing and location in one page plus, you can send out your inquiry for matching vendor to contact you. That save me lots of time to locate the best vendors with the right price.
Reply:Old time pottery, Hobby lobby, both have sales on ceramics and you can pick them up for a few dollars each.


Ebay has some great deals you can get 12 table top lanterns or urns for about 70 bucks.


But if waaayyyyyyy over budget, try the platic ones at dollar tree or walmart and get some of the 48 cent acrylic paint in terracata and umber and gold, and sponge your own for pennies. gold and umber and rich green sheer fabric wrapped around a simple glass bowl with candles floating is another idea.


99 cent gold dinner plate chargers with candles and glass beads in appropriate colors, another option.
Reply:Check your local rental places, and look into renting them, since you want something so specific. Also call local florists for recommendations.
Reply:99 cents store or Pic "N Save. Start there and work up.make up
