Toasting Flutes and Serving Sets

Monday, June 16, 2008

So instead of working today, I spent a huge amount of time browsing ebay/etsy/internet for wedding related items. I was looking for toasting flutes and a cake knife/server set. I found the Lenox crystalline toasting flutes w/swarovski crystals and absolutely fell in love (obviously not with the price), but still fell in love.

So, due to the insanity of the Swarovski flutes, I set out to find something similar and or comparable that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg.

I consulted Lisa for her opinion and she set off to hunt as well. Lisa's surfing yeilded two amazing options:

I LOVE this first set. Looks VERY similar to the swarovski set that I've been coveting but is RIDICULOUSLY expensive.

This second option was the glitter/rhinestone set (which also comes with a matching cake/knife server set). However, after showing this option to Al, it was quickly vetoed by Al with the explanation that he does not "understand bling just for the sake of bling".....eh....as a female, I HIGHLY disagree with him. However, I would rather have something that is gold anyway, so I'm willing to keep looking and use this as a backup plan.

Still not having much luck on the serving sets. Everything is silver, crystal, pear, has hearts or is just plain ugly.

Sheesh.....I have my work cut out for me.
