fish bowls

penniesforme

Anyone know where i can buy cheap fish bowls from please? i need approx 9 or 10 as centre pieces.

has anyone managed to hire these from pet shops before?

or is anyone looking to sell their fish bowls after their wedding?:p


TIA

I am only planning to swirl flowers in the bowls..no live animals

Couldn't believe people would want fish bowls at a wedding, but apparently they do after a quick Google search!

http://www.thewedding-guide.net/fishbowlvases.html has quite a few.

Ebay?

...I'm presuming there'll be flowers submerged in water rather than my initial though of golf fish as a centre piece!

Nooo, apparently some DO have goldfish in them as centrepieces!! I'm sure I read it on here somewhere?
Here's an image of what it looks like (from the net)

that's sick, the one with the live goldfish!:mad:

Have a look in TKMaxx and TJ Hughes type stores - they sometimes have similar vases that would do the job.

Please think twice before having fish as a centre piece. I went to a friends wedding who had two fish per bowl which was underlit by an electric light. They did look stunning until an hour ino the reception the fish started dying as the water heated up. The fish where really stressed and ended up in the water jugs on the table. I think out of 50 fish only 14 made it through the night. They do look nice, but think of the poor animals.

Balloons, flowers or candles are just as nice and at least you're not being cruel on your special day.

I'm having gold fish bowls full of sweets on each table(one type per table) looks nice and saves on favours!

I got some mine from B&M after someone recommended them on here, they were £3.99 each, worth a look

Hiya
I have seeen http://www.easyfloristsupplies.co.uk/ recommended elsewhere and it seems pretty cheap for all kinds of glassware, including fish bowls

Hi

I enquired about these with my venue dresser and she told me that she believes it to be illegal to use animals in such a way (cruelty laws) and even if it were possible she would not do it for moral reasons, due to the poor things getting stressed or poisoned.

Made me rethink my centre piece ideas.
