Repurposed Light Fixtures As Terrariums

We attended a wedding over the weekend here (which we'll post about later this week). At the reception, each table had a terrarium as the centerpiece which added color and texture. We loved the idea and found Kat's spin on a terrarium using light fixtures as containers...

 
 

Kat repurposes a chandelier, a light post and a glass globe as terrariums in her home. Because they're not traditional containers, each one is unique and eye catching. Additionally, you can find vintage light fixtures like these at a flea market--which is an affordable alternative to buying glass containers from a home decor store.

I love terrariums!
I recently made a terrarium out of a glass container I pick up on clearance at Pottery Barn for $4. I put 3 different kinds of moss in it, and 2 died.
Anyone have some suggestions on types of plants?
