The Romance

by Vicki Sleet

From colour coordinated candles floating

in a variety of gleaming vessels to seasonal

flowers artfully arranged in beautiful vases and

exquisitely wrapped wedding favours in jam

jars; glass is a wedding essential. Bringing an

immediate sense of style and sophistication

to any table setting, glass casts shards of

flattering light around a space and due to its

very transparency, allows the décor theme to

stay centre stage.

For the bride who cares about her planet, glass

is a first class choice. Absolutely recyclable,

it’s a no-guilt essential for the stylish wedding.

Collect same-size jars to use after your

wedding in your pantry and keep some spare

for making jam when those moments of just-

married domestic goddess-hood hit!

And let’s not forget the all-important wedding

speeches. No wedding is complete without

them - raise your glasses and with them a

toast to life, love, health and happiness.

Vicki Sleet is a lifestyle journalist and the editor of two local blogs I Want That Wedding

and I Want That. She is a self-confessed Consol addict using jars and bottles in every

conceivable shape and size throughout her home and in her office. She is a firm be-

liever that no wedding is complete without Consol as a special guest.

Glass and weddings ~ the perfect match.

Timeless, classic and stylish, yet attractively practical.

A toast to glass!

Romantic settings... with glass by design

1110

Choose ancient yet present tense and future.

Choose that golden glow

Use clear glass bottles with candles

in groups for an opulent romantic

effect. Or take a page from an

old book, music sheet or peom,

wrap it around the glass jar with

your choice of binding and place a

tealight candle inside the jar.

“Don’t forget the all-important candy bar – where oversized jars with lollipops and candy canes will create an old-school sweet sight to remember.”

“Fill tall glass bottles with cold, homemade lemonade to serve after the ceremony.”
