I luv this idea for my own weddings plans. Great idea. I will need 18x18 glass though and may use more than on glass vase base for security.

I love this idea and will be using it for my October 29th wedding. I'm thinking that I want to use a square vase instead.

Cool idea but you have the same kind of flowers that you have in the vase also as a cake topper? Wouldn't it be better if you kept a traditional wedding cake topper or even if you used a funny one instead?
