Vintage windows for table seating

Hello!

I'm trying to find old window panes that I can use for my seating chart for my wedding this December (similar to the pictures I've attached).  Did anyone use one for their wedding, or have them available, in the RI area?

Thank you!
Ashley

    If you have a Habitat for Humanity Re-Store in your area, they will probably have them.

    Those are beautiful. I googled home salvage yards and this is what I found:

    Lots of interesting stuff.

    We had those for our menus.  We went to a thrift store that had lots of home stuff (the kind of place that is a barn with lots of old appliances, etc. in the yard), and then we cleaned them up and painted them.  To write on them, I printed out the menu in a font that I liked and then traced it with a Sharpie (you can use nail polish remover if you make a mistake).  

    I would be happy to give them to you if we still had them and lived nearby, but hopefully that can help you do your own.

    My linen rental company had one to rent with mini clothes pins to hold the cards and lace covering the back with lights...it was only $35 to rent, way cheaper than buying. So I would check places like that to see if they have anything.

    Also - this is a little gross - but maybe check in the trash bins behind your local window replacement companies - my old company used to just toss them in there
