Yah, I was thinking of that, but not sure what to use........maybe rocks, but i'm worried the tulips will fall out

I agree and think this would work. Try to incorporate the tulip colors or use crumpled celophane in the water below the tulips to make it look like ice.

try the rocks on the bottom. Also if you stick enough tulips into the vase, they should be snug enough not to fall out.

You're getting married this weekend!!! Yipeee!!! You're going to look amazing!

Get ready for the best day of your life!

maybe colored sand?? it might serve to give the tulips stability while raising them higher??

What if you put those clear crystal rocks or colored ones to match your flowers? (like the ones they put in the bottom of fish bowls) I am sure if ya put enough of them in the tulips will sit higher.... good luck!!

What if you wrapped them like a bouquet & placed them in the trumpets that way?

Are your vases clear glass? If not, you can put that floral foam in the bottom to boost the tulips.

Now that it's summer out you will be able to get colored sand. This way you can match your color theme.
