Because they’re for decorating! You won’t see any more of those overly used and seen everywhere glass marbles in any of my event or wedding designs. Instead, I use small, very smooth, high-polished pieces of glass referred to as Jelly Bean Glass newly created by AMERICAN SPECIALTY GLASS. Jelly Bean Glass comes in a variety of colors and sizes and below I have highlighted a few colors…Raspberry, Strawberry, & Green Apple. Mmmmm…Great names of yummy flavors, but remember these Jelly Beans aren’t for eating!

To give some of you DIY brides a start with ideas on how you can use this product, below is an example of how I made use of AMERICAN SPECIALTY Jelly Bean Glass in one of my recent designs. As you can see, they were used to fill the bottoms of tall vases with candles and blue glass pearls as an accent. Too, they can be used in floral arrangements to replace those dreadful, overused marbles. You can even hide waterproof LED lights tucked within the glass to lend a magical glow to your designs. Information about the LED lights will be posted here on the wedding chat soon, so keep checking back!
