Pie plates/trays for agni?

Our priest isn't bringing the container for the fire. He asked us to bring 3 pie trays. I'm assuming he means those disposable pie plates. Does anyone know of a better-looking alternative? I'm not crazy about having a $0.50 pie plate in all of our wedding pictures, but I have no clue what works and what doesn't. I tried to ask the priest but that went nowhere. Thanks!

    An option might be to have a square made out of bricks to outline the agni- which is what I've typically seen hold the agni. If you are interested in that look- you can decorate the exterior of the bricks to have a rangoli type design and inside the square (where it is out of the public view) you can insert the pie pan for the agni. You can also purchase 'designer' bricks (bricks which have a round cut or frill cut) instead of plain red bricks for a little more elegance.The vendor we are renting our Mandap from is providing us with the brick overlay for the agni and we too have to provide a metal type pan for the interior. HTH!

    We don't have a decorator. I am doing the mandap myself.
