This vase is cylinder in shape, measures 12in. tall and 6in. in diameter. It has a sturdy weighted bottom to prevent the vase from tipping over. Cylinder vases are most commonly seen used in centerpieces at weddings and other large events. Cylinder vases can be used in a variety of different ways; one idea is to cover with vellum or paper and place a candle inside to create an elegant lantern. Another idea is to fill with water and place floating candles on top to create a gorgeous centerpiece. For a more colorful idea fill vases with water and submerge flowers for a chic contemporary look. For a more fun and wild look place submersible LED lights on the bottom of vase and fill with water beads or fiber fill and water to create fantastic optics and lights for any occasion.
