Shepherd's Hooks

WHERE!!!!! I am renting mine from my wedding planner.

My mom suggested using garden stakes/poles from Home Depot (http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/100342858?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=stake&storeId=10051&N=5yc1v&R=100342858#.UTiyhR2E1n4) and tying ribbon to them, but I would love to have Shepherd Hooks instead!

Try Craigslist! I see them on my local page pretty frequently.

This may be a dumb question but what are they used for? Centerpiece flowers?

I didn't see any on craigslist

@Samantha - you can hang lanterns from them, string ribbon, hold buckets, etc.

24 for $24!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woohooo great job!

Thanks! I have 2 large ones (over 6 ft. tall) that I am using just behind the 2 chairs in the last row closest to the aisle. Our outdoor ceremony decorations are minimal - nothing can compete with the mountain views - but I am putting flowing hanging baskets here (from Home Depot) to add a little more color.

What are you putting on those- those aren't shepherds hooks, they are flag posts. They are not very sturdy and I dont know if they would even hold a jar. Def a good price if they work though!

Yea they aren't the thick iron poles, but we are only putting ribbon to blow in the wind, and maybe some light tulle. No pails on these!

However, my mom is going to the store now to check out how sturdy they are @ Jamie

But i'm pretty sure this is what the other girls were talking about in the other forum!

@PurpleSun: Thanks for the link!

OOo my mom just went to 99cent store and found REAL ones for $1 each! yay!

Where Purple Sun?? I had all but given up on shepherd hooks because I just didn't want to spend that much on a bunch of them.

@HikerBride - the ones at the dollar store are "flag poles" and so aren't as sturdy, but she found real ones at the 99cent store (that is really what it is called)

Gotcha. . . . going to have do do a bit of research to see if we have one of those around here. . . or if I can find them on-line. Thank you!

This is the website for 99cent store - http://www.99only.com/

my mom found the shepherd hooks in-store - so use the site to find a location near you!

BLAAAHHH! I just checked and we don't have a 99cent store in MI!! :-(

I am scouring the site and cannot find the shepherd hooks. Ive looked under garden, just arrived,and wedding. Will keep looking. . . .
