Please Help Me Choose the Glass Bead Color for My CP

My e-party is next weekend (i'm so excited! )

I am online ordering supplies for my CP

This is the vase I will be using

I will be putting bamboo stalks in them, like these, but taller:

I have oblong tables, so I am putting three candles on either side of the CP:

Now, I need to pick the color of beads to put in the vase. Here are my choices:

White River Stones:

Clear Lustre Glass Nuggets:

I like the white river stones because they will match the white candles. But, the lustre glass nuggets might reflect nicely with the candlelight. Help me choose!!!!!!

I like the clear better.

ETA: But maybe with bamboo, the rocks will look better....

clear - definitely. I have something similar at home and the clear beads really pull the whole look together.

I actually think the colored stones would look better with the bamboo but it seems like I am in the minority

I love the clear ones, but IMHO, the white river stones match better with the bamboo, and will show through the glass vase very nicely.

I agree that I like the stones better.

I like the stones, too. I have bamboo in a clear vase at home with river stones (they are shades of tan) and it looks great. very natural.

DEFINITELY the white rocks.
They are natural, way more fitting.
I actually have that same set up in my apartment, I never thought of it as a CP!!!! Great idea, and probably SOOOO inexpensive!
FYI... I don't know where you're getting the vase, but I got mine at Ikea for maybe $1.50.

I like the white because it goes better with the bamboo

i checked ikea website.......couldn't find them.

At jamaligarden.com, they are $72 for a set of 12 vases...so $6 per vase. My time is limited and I don't want to go to Ikea and if they don't have them, I'll be wasting time. Through jamali, they can ship everything I need (beads, candles, vases) for free and I'll get them the next day. If I knew Ikea had everything I wanted and for less, I would take the time to go out there.........so if anyone knows if these items are in stock....please let me know!!!!
