Giant martini glasses

joshtbh

Does anyone have any ideas what I can fill my giant martini glasses with?

I would like crystals but can't seem to find a supplier for the, i have 10 vases that are 40cm high and 26cm diameter so quite a big volume to fill

I can't have water with candles as my venue doesn't allow them, would love crystals with lights - any ideas where to get them mse style?

Thanks

Floating lillies would look lovely

ok.....

Use lights and decorative filler. Place ice cube lights in the martini glass with decorative filler. These add sparkle and shine to your martini glasses. Try using other materials that are small, shiny and translucent with the ice cube lights. Float the ice cube lights in water to make your glasses look like giant martinis.

Hi,
I bought some gel crystals and put them in water, afew hours later they had swollen to really good size and i then put food colouring in and they look amazing - also really cheap, have a look on ebay.
Or may be sand?

obviously disregard the candle ideas but there are some great ones
the most mse looks like theyr filled with water(food colouring added would be great) then something would float in them
i was going to have gerberas floating in glasses

OP where did you get the glasses, was it a good deal?

I got some the other week, from here http://www.easyfloristsupplies.co.uk/glass-vases/cocktail-vases/cocktail-display-vase-50cm-/prod_2119.html As i could pick them up i got them a bit cheaper £10.99 (40cm ones are £8.57 better than hiring). I also got Crystal Pearls (gel) and they are great. They swell up to a normal marble size, and for a couple of pound for a jar that makes 2 litres

How stable are they? I'd get the fear if they were filled with dyed water that they'd tip over someone's posh frock!
