Vintage Milk Glass and Moss Centerpieces

I’m smitten by the work of Christina Moreno. I’ve never seen vintage vessels, such as milk glass vases, look so modern. I’m particularly loving the milk glass and moss designs. They would make gorgeous wedding centerpieces, being a chic alternative to flowers. Decorative moss also lasts several years, which means you get to use them again to decorate your house. Check out her Etsy shop and her blog.

    I used milk glass for my wedding centerpieces, and they were beautiful. I still have about 30 or so that I don’t have room for, if anyone wants to make some of these themselves.

    I have a total obsession with milk glass and have amassed quite a collection. Using the moss is such a great idea! I love the contrast in color and texture!

  13. Maren please contact me. I already have a mini collection (only 5) and am looking to add more to it. Please help me do that =) alexandra@sterlingengagements.com

    Wow! I had paperwhites in antique milk glass perched on a windowsill for the holidays – now that they are beginning to wilt, I’m so happy to have found your post. I’m off to make a all-season milk glass / moss arrangement this weekend! Just beautiful! Thanks!

    If anyone would like to sell their milk glass vases I would be willing to pay! I am also getting married in about 3 months and would love to do this for my center pieces. Hopefully you’ll be able to see this! This blog is way over a year old. I am willing to give it a shot because I really want to do this and can’t find good priced milk glass vases anywhere! Please let me know if you would like to sell :)
