I'm only asking this here because most of the members here of masculine persuasion would not have a clue about "girly stuff" like this!

Here's the deal, I need help finding something. My fiance and I are getting married in October. We were at the florist yesterday discussing centerpieces. My bride wants to have centerpieces that are ceramic pumpkins with flowers popping out of the top. It actually looks very nice. The problem is, for 15 tables, the pumpkins are $16 a piece and it comes out to $240 for the pumpkins alone. Add the taxes and such that the florist is charging and it's $300 for the pumpkins alone. So I figured I'd try to find the pumpkins myself and maybe save a few bucks. I've been looking but the search engines keep popping up the same websites and they have the usual crap you find in the craft stores. Does anyone know where I could get painted ceramic pumpkins 8 inches or larger with at least a 6 inch opening? I've been looking for wholesalers and discounters to buy in bulk but I feel like I am getting no where. I could really use the help!

Thanks!

Check out a hobby called Ceramics, You can buy your own "greenware" and paint it yourself. The wifes made a couple horses.

Honestly, I'm not that good at painting. I also don't really have the time since I am working 70 hour weeks just to pay for it all.
