My inspiration comes from Martha....of course. I just loved the look of the satin wrapped vases.
I bought vases from Michaels and black ribbon from Papermart. I first pre-taped the vases into a grid so that a few days before the wedding we can put the flowers in easily. (TIP: the taped grid makes it way easier to arrange flowers) You can put one or two stems per grid box, depending on how large the blooms are.
I then used glue dots to secure the ribbon to the the vases. Hot glue didn't work very well as it made the ribbon look bumpy.
And here is the final pic w/ a lovely paper flower.
Seeing as the vase is wrapped anyways I am wondering if you could use something else, those look to be about the size of a metal coffee can, or for smaller ones just a can. Just a $ saving suggestion, those vases can get expensive.
@ Can't pick a date: I did something similar to this for my sister's graduation party. I went to the 99 Cents store and found 2 vases and even 1 tall drinking glass --all different heights and wrapped each one with purple satin ribbon I bought at Michael's. The ribbons are on sale now for $1.99. I put white roses in each and it looked beautiful. So yes, to answer your question you can use whatever you want---it's wrapped and people won't probably notice.
did you use normal white craft kids glue? im currently trying to do this with those exact vases and i used martha's suggestion of double sided tape but unless you wrap the tape all the way around and cover the vase completely with it you can see the lines from it
I used glue dots and tried to keep them in a line on one side of the vase. You can still see them slightly, but it's less lumpy then hot glue or white craft glue.
