Aisle Decorations Assistance

in Massachusetts-Boston
Hello:
I would like to decorate the aisle for my ceremony.  I just wanted to do 3 tall glass vases w/either floating candles or just a plain candle on each side of the aisle (so a total of 6 vases).  I did want 1 large vase at beginning of aisle (1st row of seats), 1 medium sized vase in the middle, and 1 large vase at the end of aisle.  The vases will be on the floor.  I have attached a link of an aisle decorated with vases and candles inside.  I do not want this many vases although it does look very nice.  I am on a very tight budget and a florist told me that they could rent out these vases to me for between $200-$400.  I find this price to be very high.
I need your assistance in seeing around how much these vases truly cost (I would not want anything taller than 3 feet for the larger vases) and where I can purchase them myself for cheap if possible-whether it be online or in Massachusetts (I can even travel to NH and RI if necessary).
Please see link below for idea.  Thanks for your help ladies!!

    I would also check out IKEA.  Their website has a 26 inch vase listed for $19.99.

    They probably have others in stock at reasonable prices as well.  Good luck!

    Where are you getting married?  We're not allowed to do any aisle decorations (church), so before you buy anything, make sure there aren't any restrictions at your venue.

    I second the Ikea idea -- or ordering online might be a affordable option.

    We are getting married at The Villa in Bridgewater.  I already checked and they do allow this.  2 ft vases are pricey online as well but I agree--they may be reasonable at Ikea.
    Other florists have mentioned using 10.5 in vases (which seem so small to me!) and the costs for these are really good.  But I wanted taller vases....
    Thanks for the advice!

    Jacobson Floral Supply in Boston on Albany St has a lot of vases in different sizes.   Their prices are better than on-line, and there is no shipping involved.
