    Hi, I have been inspired by all of the lovely diy wine cork escort card holders, but am having trouble locating wine corks.  I've tried contacting local bars and restaurants, but with no luck.  I don't have the budget to buy these new and I love the idea of using reused materials. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can get corks?  Thanks in advance!

    Here is the only place that I found for used corks. It took me a couple of months to find it, and I haven't ordered from them yet, but I plan to.

    Macaroni grill! Or another restaurant that serves loads of wine. Especially if you know someone who works there....

    what about a local winery?  they always do tons of wine tasting, so they go through hundreds of corks a week, so I'm sure they would be willing to give you some or give them to you for a very low price.

    If you are looking for clean unused wine corks, check your local winery. I am getting married in a vineyard and they were able to give me a large bag of unused corks. they were extra from when they bottled a vinatge a few years ago. The unused corks are the best if you want to stand the corks upright like using them as your place card holder.

     

    Good luck!

    I'm not sure what your budget is, but 100 corks are only about $15

    Your wedding is still a ways off so you have time to just have them collected for you.  My brother and sister in law just told all their  friends and family to save their corks for them and they ended up having waaay more than they could have used.
