One of the wedding blogs I've come to really appreciate is 2000 Dollar Budget Wedding, a blog for the rest of us brides. I can count on the author to provide sane commentary on the wedding planning and interesting ideas for projects. A recent post gave the suggestion of DIY vases made out of recycled wine bottles. I love this. I've actually been collecting Bombay gin bottles for a while because I've wanted to make vases out of them, but as you can imagine it's a slow growing collection. Wine bottles would be much easier to accumulate in bulk for our wedding.Hmm... now I am seriously considering the use of recycled wine bottle votives. Perhaps I should try making a couple and seeing 1. how easy it is to make them and 2. how they look when illuminated with tea lights (lest the green glow make everyone look queasy)....
Sadly, I was talking with my friend Daniel about some of the logistics of making wine bottle votives, and it seems that all might be better served by a trip to Ikea. Sigh.... It would have been fun to try.
