Wedding Decorations Need a Home

I've put to use as many of the decorations from my wedding as I can, so now it's time to find a home for the rest! I have some votive holders, silk flowers, a set of cake stands, a few containers from the candy bar and treat bags that I'm hoping can be put to good use.

All the details are listed below and you can email me if you are interested in any items or have any questions (nicole@lillyella.com). I'll also be getting around to selling the vintage ball jars and bottles we used, but that's a serious undertaking that I haven't organized quite yet, so just let me know if you are interested in them. Thanks!

First up is a variety of votive holders. I used these along with my bottles and jars on the reception tables. They looked great all mixed together. I kept a few but one only has so much room for votives!

1. Actually a small flower frog to hold flower stems but also fits a votive perfectly. Top unscrews, pretty pale pink glass with hobnail detailing. Measures about 4" tall. Three available, $1 each plus shipping.

2. Also a flower frog, same size as #1, clear glass. Four available, $1 each plus shipping.

3. Clear glass tulip shape. Measures about 3"x 3". One available, 50¢ plus shipping

4 & 5. Both are the same size and shape, an open flower design measuring 4.5" wide by 3" high. I have one that is clear glass (#4) and four that have a slight pale green hue to them. $1 each plus shipping.

6. Darling little hobnail design in clear glass, 2.5" wide by 2.75" high. Two available, 50¢ each plus shipping.

7. Flower pot design, measures 2.75"x 2.75". One available, 50¢ plus shipping

Next I have two resin bird baths that I used to hold candy on the cake table. I had two of each and am selling one of each. They make cute decorations inside and are also weather safe for outdoor use.

The one above measures 7.5" wide across the bowl, 11" wide from bird tail to bird tail and is 8" high. $18 plus shipping.


This one measures 9" in diameter and about 3" high. $10 plus shipping.


Here are some pics of them 'in action'! :)

I listed some of the vintage cake stands I had a couple nights ago but I have one set of stands left. This set of three is not vintage, but still pretty!


The bases are wide so they stack nicely. They measure 12", 9" and 8" across and all are 3.5" high. $20 for the set plus shipping (about $10 - $15).

Onto flowers! First I have the silk roses I used on the chair backs for the ceremony. They have a thick piece of wire out the back for wrapping around something, no stems. I have 10 available, just pay shipping and they're yours!

Next I have the flowers I used on the reception tables. I had three vintage bottles on each table containing a ranunculus, a rose and a rosebud in shades of pink, yellow, white and ivory. I then had large flower tops setting in blue ball jars.


Here are the ranunculus, they are so pretty! Really nice quality, I was thrilled to find them. I kept a few around my house, they look awesome.

They have an open bloom and a small bud on each stem. I removed the leaves when I used them but I DO have the leaves that stick back on if you'd like them. There is also another piece of stem that slides on and off the bottom so they are adjustable in height.


I have six pink, six yellow, five white and five ivory available. They are $1.50 a piece or less if you'd like them all (plus shipping).

Next I have the full rose blooms in off white, pink and yellow. These have pretty, realistic looking stems and nice dark green leaves.

I have four yellow, three pink and three white. They are $1 a piece or less for the group.


· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·


For the rosebuds I have three pink, three white, two ivory, and three yellow. They are 75¢ a piece plus shipping.


· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·


Lastly I have the large flowers I used to sit on the ball jars. They are really beautiful and realistic looking. I do have the full stem and leaves and the heads easily come on and off.


These stems are quite long and the heads are a nice large size. These are $2 a piece plus shipping.


I have five pink - four resemble a peony and one more resembles a rose. Two yellow - one peony and one rose.


One off-white peony, one white peony, one white rose and one off-white rose.


Here's a pic from when I was 'staging' before the wedding and below are some pics from the wedding.





I also have the small hydrangea bunches you see in the photo above. I have about six white bunches and six pink bunches. You can also see them a few photos up. Just pay shipping and they're yours if you can use them!

Just send me a message if you'd like more details or pics of any of these flowers.

Last I have just a few pieces left from my candy buffet. I just sold the small lidded container but I have the two glass containers in front and the two hurricanes vases in back available.

These were perfect for holding goodies but are also nice for vases, candle holders etc.


The large ones are $4 a piece and the small are $3, plus shipping.

I had to order the little glassine treat bags I used in a bulk pack of 1000, and since I only had 85 people at the wedding, I have quite a few left!


You can find these for sale, along with all the sizes and specs, in my supply shop here.


I cut the tops of the ones I used with a pair of scallop edge scissors and then clipped a little card onto them and placed them at each setting.


I also left a crate full of extras up on the candy buffet. These were a perfect size for candy favors but are also good for bakery of any kind or small favors of gifts.

So that does it for now! I really would love to see all these items put to another good use. Please email me (nicole@lillyella.com) with any questions or if you are interested in any pieces. I can provide you with more details if needed as well as shipping estimates.

Also, as I mentioned in the opening, I will be listing some of the vintage bottles and jars I used that you can see in some of the photos, I just haven't had the time to get them all together. If you are interested in a few or a large lot, just send me a message. Thanks all!
