Pretty early on in my wedding blog browsing, I decided we must have milk glass somewhere in our wedding. I loved the clean, polished look that milk glass gives while still looking fun and vintage.

Plus I knew that milk glass can be super cheap and easy to find, so its addition to our tables seemed like an obvious choice.

My initial plan was to combine my original inspiration images so that I would have my green vases and candles on a mirror with a couple of milk glass pieces with succulents on each side. This idea only really seemed to work with long tables, which we won’t be having (sad face). And shoving everything onto one mirror would look way too crowded.

For a while I wasn’t even sure we could use any milk glass on the tables.

Realizing this, it would make sense that I stopped buying milk glass. But I didn’t. And now we have more milk glass than we know what to do with (seriously, it’s bad, just take a gander).

I know we already have vases, but I was a woman obsessed by this point. Plus they were cheap.

Perfect for a dessert bar, no?

I have since come up with a solution that will allow us to include milk glass in our centerpieces without it looking crowded (hopefully), but I still will not end up using nearly half of our collection for the wedding. But, with most pieces costing between ten cents and one dollar (Mama Pony got the square cake stand for $1, unbelievable, right?), this is a collection that will continue to grow long after our wedding.

Anyone else collecting milk glass? What’s your favorite find?
