Choice #1: Southern hospitality: the mint julep cup
Something I love: silver mint julep cups. How elegant would these look with white flowers in them? I could still place larger arrangements on the big tables.
Choice #2: Stay with the clear, square vase
I will still use the square glass vases, but instead will get smaller ones for the little tables and a couple larger ones for the head table and the tables that seat more people.
Choice #3: Stemless wine glasses
How cool are these stemless wine glasses? Wouldn't the black look glamorous? They could easily be used as flower vases.
Choice #4: Old half-pint glassesI love the clear glass and the simplicity. Looks appropriate for a vintage garden wedding, doesn't it?
Choice #5: Hobnail vases
I've always loved the look of these vintage white vases. I'm pretty sure a few are floating around my grandmothers' houses, and I know I could find more at antique stores.
So what do you think? Your ideas are appreciated!

I really like those black stemless wineglasses. That would be SO chic on the tables. I also really like the clear square vases, but goodness, those black ones really make quite the statement (and also bring the black into the table!) So, my vote is 50/50!
Thanks Aletha! I'm leaning toward the black too. And they are from Libbey glass, whose factory store I will be near next weekend!
I have not voted because I like them all... the black ones are very cool though. I know it's going to look fabulous :)
p.s. We did tulips in those square vases for the reception tables. So I think it's doable. Heck, we even had tulip boutonnieres. The florist had never done one before, but I thought they looked great and held up well. All of this was in February though...
I am going against the grain and voting for the square. I don't really know why, but I think they look very classy.
