Mystery Vases

Ostrich Feather Centerpieces are a very popular thing for weddings. They feature an Eiffel Tower type Vase with beautiful white or colored ostrich feathers. You can even light the vases with small colored lights for a beautiful addition. I was on a hunt for these today. We found the perfect picture that exemplified exactly what we had in mind and I thought I had gotten somewhere when I found where the picture originated from. Unfortunately, once i got to that website and found their contact information and actually contacted them I found out they did not have the vases that were pictured. Even though the vase is like an Eiffel Tower vase, it is bigger on the bottom and is shaped like a slender flower vase. She said a lot of people were looking for these vases and that they have been referred to as Spandex Vases. So, i kept looking hoping that she was wrong and I would be able to find these vases. I kept getting close but every time I actually contacted the supplier... they didn't have the vase pictured. Why was everyone using this image to describe Ostrich Feathered Centerpieces if it wasn't indicative of their merchandise? I was even fooled by a supplier on Ebay... Finally, we decided to go with white frosted eiffel tower vases in hopes that it would create the same feel. But i couldn't help but feeling like a carrot was dangling in front of my face. I fell in love with this beautiful centerpiece that can't be recreated. Of course, we will make it work and it will end up looking even more decadent than the picture, but it is still frustrating to run around in circles.
