If anyone sees these....

as you are out shopping around, please let me know. We need somewhat large white wicker baskets to put the wine bottle favors in for the wedding. We're using the half-liter size. I'm seeing some white ones out there now for Christmas, but so far they have been shallow. I guess a minimum of 6 inches should keep them from falling out. (Talk about nightmares!)
Or do wire baskets come in large sizes? I've only seen small ones. I'm thinking to put about 30 bottles in each one and we would get 4. Wire could nicely be woven with tuille and ribbon. What do you think?
Thanks so much.

I've seen some very interesting baskets and such at TJ Maxx and Marshall's....it's hit or miss, but sometimes they have larger sizes!

Try Patchogue Floral Fantasy...they have a whole department of baskets.

I would try Pearl Paint or Marshall's.

Re: If anyone sees these....

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. So far Michael's has nothing in white, and TJMaxx and Marshall's have only small ones. I'll check out the other shops you mentioned. If you should see any, please let me know. (Thanks Bethsiar.)

Just a thought, you could always spray paint the basket white!

Pottery Barn Kids has some, but they're pretty pricey.. They can be ordered with or without the liner:
$24 for just the basket (the one with the holiday liner)
or they have others which are 2 for $39 for the large basket, the liners are $8 each

Just an idea, but you can also use those beautiful Organza bags for each bottle or use silver buckets ot a large silver tub...

Thanks so much everyone. I found a few like the white ones SomedayBride suggested at TJMaxx. They have a pretty Christmas liner that my daughter loves which we will remove.

I always forget about that store, and WalMart as well. Thanks.

There is an italian market by me in East Meadow called Giuseppes. It is on hempstead turnpike. I was just in there on Sunday and noticed tons of baskets hanging from the ceilings and on shelves. They had white ones. I don't know how much they were but they were pretty nice from what I remember. I was thinking of going back and getting one for my programs at the church. I know it sounds weird in an italian deli, but if your italian, you know we do strange things sometimes!!

Thanks. As for doing strange things....Who doesn't? We're Greek and did you see the movie about US?

Home Goods in Rockville Center is great. They are owned by the same company as Marshall's and TJ Maxx but they focus only on houseware objects, they have plenty of baskets. Pier 1 might also have a variety.
