The trend makers have spoken — clear glass vases are OUT. The look now is black and white. Many shapes and sizes are popular, but vases with a pedestal base or those that are urn-shaped are especially hot.
Unfortunately, many planners and venues have already invested in clear glass. Not to worry! There are ways to easily transform existing clear glass into new black or white pieces.
If the vase is a simple cylinder or square, covering it with craft paper is the easiest method. Plus, the paper can be removed to return the glass to its original clear state if needed.
However, if the glass has a curved shape, spray painting is the recommended method to transform your piece. For this approach, clear glass vintage pieces can be purchased inexpensively at yard sales.
Gloss spray paint is the preferred medium. Also, don’t forget to seal the paint by using a final coat of gloss varnish. Even with the varnish, gentle hand-washing the piece is recommended to maintain its new color. Visit Ruffled Blog on painting clear glass for an easy tutorial.
An additional benefit of using opaque black or white glass vessels is that unsightly stems or foam blocks no longer show in your floral arrangements. How’s that for tidy and beautiful?
Finally, remember it’s much easier to assemble a number of small arrangements than to take on one giant centerpiece. By mixing various size vases together, you can create an opulent look.

Whether it’s your lunch or your linens, the tent or the torts, the blooms or the booze, when you get the details right, everything comes together flawlessly. Read more...
