Looking for tall gold trumpet vases

Hi Sarah

did you ever find gold centre piece vases? I visited my florist yesterday they have gorgeous silver trumpet vases but I really want gold or at least glass but in a dramatic style! Every where only seems to have plain silver or simple clear! I'm on the search too so if I come across anything il be sure to let you know.

Could you not buy some plain ones and spray paint them? I have spray painted jars and bottles gold and I think they look ok. Here is practice one I done.

And would probably look much nicer if it's on a proper vase and will not look homemade.

Hi,

My wedding was a few weeks ago. I could not find the gold vases anywhere.

In the end I brought 80cm trumpet vases and gold-leafed them myself. They did look stunning in the venue, and I was really pleased with them, so although it was painfully fiddly and time-consuming it is definitely worth a try. They are by no means perfect, there are scratches in places and imperfections where I did not get the gold leaf in the exact perfect position, but I do not think that the guests look that closely, and we had many compliments on them.

Otherwise, as Jessica mentioned, the other option is spray paint, which I think would be a lot quicker and cheaper.

I had 12 tall vases, but 2 smashed on the way home from the wedding. I am going to put the remaining 10 on Ebay when I get a chance.
