Finally found our Sand Ceremony kit ... and in an unusual place...*pics in post #10*

I think they look awesome! Yes, the diamond thingies would look fabulous also!

 

Question: Have you found a cork or anything to top the main vase with? I love how it has like a funnel top built right in!

 

GREAT find dudette.

Great job, Miranda! As a head's up, I would be very careful with a glue gun... because the ribbon is sheer, you could end up seeing the glue through the ribbon. You could try clear double sidded tape or even those 'glue dot' things.

 

Love the idea of adding some bling... if there isn't enough room for initials (or if trying to write them out becomes more complicated than you had hoped), what about just a row of diamonds on the ribbon going around the vases?

 

One last idea is about how to combine the two colours... oh, I hope this explanation makes sense what if you wrapped the middle vase with the aqua/blue using the full width of the ribbon (as you've done on the shorter one), then fold the white ribbon in three so that it's not nearly as wide... place the white ribbon over the blue ribbon and then you could apply a row of diamonds over the white ribbon... does this make any sense at all?!? Hope this helped.

Hmmm a cork would eb a good idea, but it's a bit wide. We were thinking instead of making sure it stays upright (in my carry-on) and putting material over the top with an elastic around the neck so if it DOES tip it'll be good. And we're going to fill it up right to the top with beach sand but remove some when we get home so it's not so full but that'll keep everything from movie around too much when we travel ...

Awesome, awesome, awesome idea!!! It makes perfect sense and I love it!! :) And I was thinking double-sided tape too ... hmmm ... I'll have to see how it holds up!!

Thanks SO much for the idea!!!

I changed the title of your thread to let people know you added pics. You were unable to edit your original posting, b/c you only have an hour to do so. Any updates after that need to be done by a mod.

 

I like what you picked out!

[BlissfulMsMiranda]

Awesome - thanks so much Carly!!!

Love your vases from pier one BlissfulMsMiranda. I think I might have to get them .

Are you using colored sand or the sand from the beach?

I would like to use both. However, to order sand in my colors online is 3 dollars but the shipping is 10 because of the weight. pretty ridiculous. The only colors I have seen are light brown, white and baby blue at Michaels.

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.

I really like your vases. Great job on finding them.

[bermygurl]

what beautiful vases

[Soon2beTWells]

I love these, can you buy the smaller vases without the larger middle one? I love them but already found my center piece for the sand.
