In preparing for our wedding, we wanted to get some nice vases as centerpieces to decorate with crystals, but everything seems to be so expensive...especially when you are buying in bulk! Does anyone have any for sale, or can you recommend a place besides dollartree.com? Thank you!!!

Depending on how many you need, you could also look at some thrift stores. I see tons of them there all the time. Of course, they likely wouldn't all be the same. But I know that people buy those there, wash them out and sell them on eBay for exactly that purpose. So you could also look on eBay. Also, check on Craigslist. Would Durham Scrap Exchange have anything like that?
i'd recommend ikea, too. if you don't want to do that, carolina pottery next.
you could also go the route of collecting vases from thrift stores & spray-painting them a particular color to unify them or perhaps doing a DIY mercury glass look to them. depends on how involved you wish to be & how crafty you are, i suppose.
I was just in Dorcas Thrift store today and they had pretty many! I guess it depends on how many you need and how large/small you want them but they had at least 10-15, medium size, all pretty much the same shape/style for $.50 each.
