A little tin...

Between this lovely photo from the talented Rebecca Thuss...
...I have been pretty much obsessed with incorporating galvanized vases into the decor of our wedding, but of course instead of bright and shiny silver, in our fabulous accent color of copper!
Turns out finding copper vases for a semi-affordable price has been a pretty big challenge. My quest, however, has finally been fruitful!
I came across the lovely site www.galvanizedpail.com {why it took me so long to find such an obviously named website I will never understand}
In any case, there are a few different options, for affordable sizes, but my mom is super concerned about high centerpieces interrupting the flow of conversations, as have many brides before me.
There is the 5.5" diameter opening vase, which is actually 8.5" high.
These are $2.89 for any less than 48 vases, 48+ are $2.59 each.
{I am not really sure how I feel about the long handle. Meh.}
Then we have the 6.5" diameter opening vase, which is actually 11" high.
These are $3.79 for 1-59 vases, and $3.29 each for 60+ vases.
{I like these handles better, and I am thinking that I could order a large amount and use them both for aisles at the ceremony, and then transport them to the centerpieces for the reception? Maybe? Too much work?}
Lastly there are these 8" diameter opening vases, which are actually 15" high. Super tall.
1-35 of these vases are $6.59 each, and more than 35 are $5.89 each.
{While these are super tall, I secretly yearn for tall centerpieces...}
Clearly I would need to spray all of these copper...but with my trusty spray paint this is no issue.
They would of course be filled with white flowers, and though I have always loved the look of hydrangeas, I am currently in love with each of these options shown by Style Me Pretty earlier today.
{especially those tulips in the top right! Swoon!}
How do you all feel about centerpiece heights? Do high centerpieces annoy you at weddings?
