Bride vs. Groom: What you waitin' for?

Last week, I received 3 boxes of discount glass jars purchased from save-on-crafts to be used for centerpieces and possibly a reception snack table (instead of just candy). Originally, I was looking for vintage bell jars and apothecary jars at the flea market, but those we found cost way more than I wanted to spend per centerpiece. I had to take a picture of this find with my BB:

Yay or nay on this centerpiece idea? :D

Rose Bowl Flea Market find: Apothecary jars $48 each (freaky doll heads included!)

Quite honestly, it doesn't matter to me whether it is truly vintage or vintage-like, as long as it looks good and doesn't break the bank. mr. c found me save-on-crafts online and Megan Marie of project: bride also gave a thumbs up review of her purchases, so I went with it.

My review, based on what I needed (glass bell jars and apothecary jars):

Variety of sizes and shapes of the jars is good.
Costs of jars are pretty cheap.
Shipping was pricey (as expected with all the glass), but very quick.
The quality of the glass is okay, with a few bubbles and imperfections.

Overall, I am completely satisfied and excited to do something with these.

My favorite purchase is this set of three bell jars, to be used for one centerpiece.

Glass Stem Bell Jars Set of 3, $16.99

I also bought this set of three apothecary jars...

Set of 3 Glass Apothecary Jars Clear Glass (10-3/8" - 8" - 7-1/2" tall) $19.99 Special

these three mini apothecary jars...

Individual Mini Apothecary Jars with Lids: 4-1/4" $2.99, 6" $4.19, 5" $3.99

and four of these (same) apothecary jars.

Discount Glass Apothecary Jars with Lids 11-3/4" $10.99 each/4 for $8.99 each

I bought the last four apothecary jars for the snack table. 11-3/4" sounded like a decent size, and height-wise, it is. However, looking at the jars, you can see the neck is smaller, but I didn't consider that it might be too small for even my hand to fit in. Instead, I will be mixing all the apothecary jars around for a couple of centerpieces and for a part of the snack table.

From the box that the set of three apothecary jars came in, they might also be found at discount stores, like Big Lots or Marshalls /TJ Maxx or Wal-mart (although I refuse to go there). I also saw a few at Michaels, with a 40% off coupon, will be a pretty good price. But, Michaels has a limited selection, so I am still happy with my purchase from save-on-crafts.

In addition, save-on-crafts has many other discount craft items. If we had not been so lucky to find the lovely birdcages at the flea market shown in my post here, I would probably buy this set of three gorgeous birdcages for just $35!
