Colored Glass

Being a bride-to-be, I read many wedding blogs on my downtime. Besides the booming do-it-yourself concept, another popular trend is using colored glass vases or jars to hold flower arrangements. From large extravagant pieces to the daintiest vase, colored glass seems to be everywhere!

The most popular colors I have seen used are shades of blues and greens. White and clear are probably the next most popular colors.

After realizing what a big trend this is, I decided to go looking for colored glass vases. I mean, where do you find such a thing? Here are the places I’ve had the most success in locating both brand new and vintage colored glass:

  • Decor/craft stores such as Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, etc.
  • Ross and Marshalls home decor aisles
  • Antique shops
  • The Salvation Army
  • Goodwill
  • HEB, in the flower section
  • Etsy.com

Finding vintage glass jars for $1 or so at a re-sale shop can save you a good amount of money when it comes to decorating for your wedding. Why not, right? Happy colored glass hunting!
