I know its a very strange thread but I have had a bride who saw a birdcage (ornamental type) in a certain chain store (am I allowed to mention its name?!) and thought it might be nice to have one filled and overflowing with flowers on her Guest Book table. The problem is that from that particular shop they are £28.

Does anyone know where I could get hold of a couple at wholesale prices. You know the type I mean - either wire or bamboo, shaped like an arabian harem thing. I am so good at descriptions!!!!!

Please help the wedding is only 11 weeks away!!!!!!!

btw this bride is a bridezilla but lovely with it!!!!

Theres a hire company called Lavenders of London. They do all sorts of things like that. There is a company called blue moon that sells them but you'd have to put in a £500 order so not worth it really.

Thanks Alby, I will keep on looking!!!!

I am doing these as table centres but the bride bought them herself. She got them from Inspirations in the Wirral in Merseyside but i think they ran out. They were actually £20 there so i am not sure if you could get them any cheaper. I know this is not of much help but thought i would tell you cos of the price.

Oh My! your making me feel really old these things were really popular in the 80's I remeber them well, can't believe they are back in fashion!!! never liked them the first time around. Good luck with finding some

When I worked for Past Times last year we were selling them cheaply. Might be worth contacting their factory outlet stores?

What about somewhere like TK Maxx, they often stock that kind of stuff.

yes jake tk maxx does have them there in 3 different sizes

The's an online shop on ebay that sells bird cages called garden antiquities, it comes up if you google it

Country Baskets had a gorgeous one on sunday, was cream colour, but more expensive !! cant be sure ,but think it was around £35 ??? was on a stand tho !

You have all been so helpful. I will definitely check out a few of the ideas. I was beginning to tear my hair out!!

All I have to do now is get her (bridezilla!!) to decide what style of birdcage she wants!!!

I will be very grey before this wedding is over.

40 tables, two top tables with 10 people on each. Three bride's bouquets (all for the same bride) 10 wrist corsages, 8 bridesmaids etc. etc. etc....

and to top it all TWO weddings - the civil ceremony and the religious one on two different days!!!


HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
