Wedding Decoration
Cocktail Centerpieces

These are for the cocktail hour. Problem is that I can not find the loose pearls anywhere in bulk. I need thousands of them and I can not find them anywhere. They only come in pack of 300 or so and I would have to buy a million of them. Does anyone know where i can find them or have any ideas that I could use for replacement? Sorry, my dog wanted to be in every picture...

I only see them in the beading section of craft stores. You might just have to buy every pack you can find and use coupons. I wish you the best of luck finding what you need!

Is your intention to fill the ENTIRE vase with the pearls?  I was watching a show in which they used coffee beans (could apply the same concept to the peals!).  They put the flowers into the floral foam, put the foam into the vase, and then filled around the foam with the coffee beans (in your case pearls) so that the coffee beans were only in a thin layer pushed up against the edge of the glass.  That would cut hugely down on the amount of pearls you would need.

@ mrsgap: That is such a great idea! That would really save a bunch. Thanks for the input, I will try that!

unfortunately Chritmas is over, but bead garland I think would have worked really well. I did buy some clear garland in attempts to have  swags on my centerpieces but decided it was too much work for me to DIY. So I have either 2 or 3 unused containers
