Pottery Barn has beautiful seaglass green ones for less than $40 a piece with glowing reviews. You could also get the 2-gallon lidded glass cookie jars from KMart and use small silver ladles to serve. I think floating the fruit slices in there is so beautiful. Good luck with your wedding and congrats on your engagement!
I love this idea and would love to have sangria and lemonade served like this at my wedding......... but....Where can I find these large clear containers??
I made this for a get together of neighborhood moms; everyone loved it!
