can anyone help???

Hi guys,
does anyone know of a vase supplier....??? I have lots of vase styles for weddings and do not want to keep adding to my collection but lately have been asked to do martini glasses for table centres, i know in the long run it will be more cost effective for me to buy but i have not got the storage space as i am running out of room as it is....can anyone suggest a hire company who hires these out at a good price...all the ones i have found charge £25 + per vase ekkkk!!!!!!!! I am in the essex area.
thanks in advance

Karen...think about it. No disrespect intended but what you're asking is for someone to do for you what you probably wouldn't do for someone else....i.e. hire out vases for a very low price. It's just not going to happen and its for the same reason that you would charge a reasonable amount to hire them out yourself. It does make sense to buy them and hire them out. Your first hire should nearly cover the cost so you won't be out of pocket. The only problem, as you've said, is storing them later and rightly so, that can be a pain, especially with the big ones. I used to put them in the window at 50% off and get my money back if it was a problem.
