Ladies, in case you are wondering, the bells of ireland and oriental lilies are quite common among florists and can also be found from online stores. One of my favorites is:

What’s nice about the oriental lilies is that they make your room smell nice and sweet!

Thanks for responding to the post. After a little reseach from the information everyone provide…I found them! They are a wholesaler that seller to florist but they were very open to selling directly to me….I hope everyone has a wonderful party!

Hi Elaine –
I purchased the vases from a local florist supply, but they no longer carry them in anything besides silver and gold

I did just find them here, but only in the smaller 4×4 size:

The wholesale supplier can be found here:

You might be able to email them and ask if there’s an online store that stocks the colors you’re interested in.

Last but not least, you could also try to recreate this look yourself by using metallic craft pain, paper or gift wrap to cover any ceramic square vase. Here are a few places where you can purchase basic black and white square vases:

Good luck!

Okay, so the vases i found on the internet are called “square party vase” but most places only sell business to business or you have to place a minimum order.

Jenn, by any chance do you have pictures of the event?

This Shower is gorgeous. I want to do the same kind of vases. Can you please point me in the right direction and tell me what kind of paint you used and where you bought the vases?

Has anyone been able to find the vases. If not, any suggestion on how to recreate them. They will be the perfect centerpieces for my sister’s shower!

Thanks, Tabitha!

Some of the vases were 6″ square and some of them were a little taller – about 6 x 9″.

Hi there, your centerpieces are so adorable! I was just curious if you could tell me what size vase it was you used… Maybe it was a 4*4 or 6in.

Hi Stacie –
The cake was actually an Anne Geddes print that matched the invitation. (similar to the “photo” cakes that people do now a days..)

Nicole –
Those are actually just regular infant dresses that we used – ages 3-6m and 6-9m. They were only about $5 at Target at the time! (just now seeing your question – apologies for the delay in response!)

Angie – same to you – just now seeing your question! You might have already had the shower by now, but for the food – we did catered Mexican because it’s mom-to-be’s favorite, so we veered from the theme, but I think these adorable “toadstool bites” would be perfect for a party like this:
