    Does anyone have ideas of how to stand kissing balls for centerpieces?  I was thinking of unfinished wooden candle stick and paint them, however all the onces i come across I think are too think.

     

    Any ideas or thoughts would be great!!

     

    Thanks!!!!

    Maybe clear vases? What do the wooden candle stick look like? Depending on the weight of the kissing balls, it might not be too much

    If you can't find candlesticks you like, look in Lowes or Home Depot . They may have wood turnings that would work for you.

    many brides place them on top of cylinder vases

    or candlesticks or upside down wine glasses

    You could use clear vases as suggested but paint the inside of the vases with your wedding colors.  Similarly to how you paint ornaments.

    ETA:  I can't find an example of a vase with the mixed colors swirl painting design.

    I like the idea of vases, either clear or colored!  If the vase is opaque, I might recommend not putting "petals" the whole way around the pomander so that it will sit nicely on the top of the vase.  I used cupcake liners for a pomander, and just left a hole the width of the vase at the bottom of the styrofoam ball and it sat perfectly on the vase.

    @MrsProf:  I love the tulle you added inside the cylinder vase. I've never seen that before. Very nice!
