I will admit something to you all… I don’t really get excited about flowers.

That isn’t completely accurate. I think flowers are pretty and lovely. But I am only really attracted to strange looking ones. I love lime green flowers like Bells of Ireland. I like it when Mr. Robin gets those for me because I know he really thought about what I love.

But the truth is, I just can’t see paying hundred of dollars for them for the wedding. I am mostly ambivalent about my bouquet and the other floral elements.

That is why I didn’t think that I could do flowers for the centerpieces during the reception. It just wouldn’t be me. But one thing I do love is early and mid-century glassware, so my idea was a mix of glassware in blues, greens and browns. Then, I began to worry I wouldn’t have time to gather that much glassware, so I bought 33 clear vases from Ikea with the intent to fill them will colored water and floating candles.

Well, they are going back! I just couldn’t seem to ignore all the amazing finds out there lurking in discount shops and thrift stores. I love the idea of hundreds and hundreds of candles shining through colored glass.

So my MIL has been helping me gather tons of vintage pitchers and decanters and cordial glasses! Now the only decision is shall all the glass on each table be the same color, or should each table be a mixture of colors?

All one color

The Blues, Greens, Ambers all together
