My favorite centerpiece ideas involve mismatched vases on every table, as shown in these pics from Martha Stewart Weddings. The concept works especially well when the vases stretch out over rectangular tables. But, clusters of small mismatched vases look just as good in the center of the classic round.
One, not surprising, reason I love using different vases is that they free you from having to buy a set of new matching ones. Instead, you can reuse vessels you already have or buy secondhand vases from thrift stores and garage sales. It's so much better than using our limited resources to produce new vases and transport them long distances (e.g., most glass vases are shipped over from China).
This weekend, I'm going vase hunting at garage sales around town. In order to keep the outing organized, I inputted all the sales at www.garageMaps.com. It lets you print out a map with all the start times and details on the page. My fingers are crossed that I turn up some white milk glass, like the below compote I picked up a couple weeks ago.
