Where do you get your cones?

[shannonlovesflowers]

You know- the kind that hang on the sheppard hooks with flowers in them for weddings?

I have a few ideas.. but I want to know what everyone else does.

Thanks guys!

I used cemetary cones, I cut the spike off the bottom and drilled holes on the sides at the top. I then covered them with decorative heavy paper and punched holes to match, attached ribbon for hanging and done. They looked really nice and they were inexpensive (love that !!)

Ditto here. Works like a charm...

You can make them out of beautiful heavy stock paper, whatever size you want and then stuff with waxed tissue, and do the arrangements in cake toppers to sit on top. Very light weight, less expensive and easier to transport.

This has been the way that we do them but I would be interested in hearing any other ideas!

Really pretty to use white or ivory wall paper. Great texture.

Ok, so do all these Ideas actually hold water? Or do they drip?

Use a plastic cemetery cone Shannon......cover it with dressing of your choice......use a hot wire to punch holes for hanging......Presto....DONE !!!!

.........and watertight.

I can't find any plastic cemetary cones.

Floral Supply Syndicate has them. You can get a case of 36 cones for $45.00

Also, check out wholesale funeral supply companies.

Also thought of another technique I have done.....particularly with wedding bouquets.

A STYROFOAM CONE from the craft store ( usually cheaper than wholesaler ) covered with your choice of dressing, and a Oasis Iglu or Grande Iglu glued on top.

We did this style for displaying bridesmaids cascading bouquets, to hang from a long bannister @ the reception - cone covered w/scrapbooking paper, some ribbon, pearls etc etc.

love the idea of the cemetery cones - never thought of it!
