Finding Metal Columns for Wedding

I am planning and wedding a really wanted to have metal columns. Does anyone know where I could buy some, not rent? Please comment on this post. Please if you know of anything for any price I will be willing to buy them. I have included a picture. I would like them to look something like that they don't have to be exact just, something similar.
Thanks.

You might try asking a home builder, as the picture you posted looks like a porch column. Stick with the one in the post (it's awesome).

Go to a metal fabricating shop, or find a welder, a individual would be great (possibly a friend?). Hope this helps.

Hello,
I would like 8ft, 6ft, and 4ft and if possible 2 of each. And yes I am looking for just metal/iron ones right now. Thanks for asking for the clarification!

What size are you needing the columns to be? That would be the first question for me to ask. As a wedding and event planner, it makes a huge difference if you want 8ft as opposed to 2, 3 or 4 ft. And you want them to be metal, not of any other material. Just getting ducks in a row so I can try to help you. Thanks, Rinda.

Found a few more at Walmart.com. Search for metal plant stands and sort by lowest to highest price to pull up sets like this, which are around $120 for three...not sure how many you need?

Try doing a search for "decorative metal plants stands" ....I found some that were not that specific design, but maybe you're flexible about them being column-shaped? Will you be putting flowers on them? These are from Target's online store:

It doesen't have to be like this, just so that it would be a column that is metal like that it could be just plain w/o those spiral/swirly thingys, but thanks!

It would be more practical to rent than to buy metal columns.

Where have you seen this type of arch before? You might try Michael's Crafts, I know at times they have metal arches. You also might try the home improvement stores, or ask somebody that has a welder about making them.
