Do you ladies know of any other stores that might have more colored sand options? I'm looking for aqua or tiffany blue sand. I already have white sand,and plan to use the maroma beach sand. Just want the third color to be a wedding color.

We are using our wedding colors (teal and white/biege) which we bought from our local art store Omer des Serres (a Frenchie Montreal art store hehehe). You should check out your local arts and crafts stores and see what you can find. We paid about $3 per 1lb bag and we needed 2lbs to fill each vase.

They all came separately! That was the cool thing about finding these vases at Pier 1 ... we could mix and match how we pleased!

Great find!! I think the bling might look nice also.

Get an etching kit That would really put the finishing touches on it. You did a great job they are beautiful

[cancunbride]

those are soo pretty but I have a question. How are you getting the sand back over since they dont have covers?

[marryinghimagain]

Very pretty! Great job.

Great job on the vases, I really like the middle one with the built in funnel, but would worry about it spilling on the way home

You girls are DIY queens so I trust your suggestions!!   Oh and sorry about the quality of the images ... I can never make my camera work at night ...     One of my cats who HAS to stick her nose in EVERYTHING:     And here's my question for you girls. Should I DIY our initials (just first names) on our respective sand vases with these diamond sticky thingies??

about the bling: I vote no, only because I always think about how to clean things (I know this is wierd) and I think the bling would capture dust around the sticky edges eventually and not be so pretty. I agree etching would be very cool though (if you are more artsy than me and can figure it out that is!). Good Luck

wow those look great. I love the colors as well

[slapsappyhappy]

They look really nice with the ribbons glued on. Did you ever find the blue sand?

[Tilly in the Sun]
