Vintage Bottles as Wedding Centerpieces

I think I have become a little obsessed with using glass jars and bottles as part of the display at our sea themed wedding. I have been searching the internet for the last few days and it seems that antique and vintage bottles may be easier to source than I originally thought. I am very excited by this idea as they look fantastic and are appropriate for a wedding on the coast.

There are lots of old vintage bottles to choose from on ebay starting at 99p. Internet searches also bring up collectors websites, though these are much more expensive. To find these treasures in the local charity shops and cut out the postage would be the ideal scenario but I can imagine these being snapped up rather quickly.

I think these bottles look effortlessly sophisticated and are so shabby chic. The aqua blue and subtle variations in hue are reminicent of the ocean and its many colours and the rare finds that are sometimes found washed up on our English coastline are the biggest prize of all. Tumbled and textured and perfect for a beach and sea themed wedding. What a great way of introducing the sea without going overboard. (Sorry for the very bad pun!)
