The pet store?
Please do not ever put goldfish in bowls.
They grow too large and produce too much waste to be kept in a bowl.
You will just be torturing the poor goldfish.

Unusual Goldfish Bowls

Seriously... goldfish are fine in bowls... I have plenty of experience. Yeah, when they get too big for their bowl, you get a new one but for a wedding, they WILL be fine. Congrats by the way. any local pet store will have inexpensive fish you can chose from. Common goldfish are normally used as feeder fish but many of them are very beautiful. Some can have black markings and some can be a light yellow and some are a vibrant orange. Take your pick. Walmart, or a store like Walmart can have cheap bowls in all different styles. Hope you have a great wedding and this is an awesome idea.

Goldfish should NOT be in bowls. They need proper filtration. As long as you are willing to purchase an in-tank filter to help keep them healthy, you can use almost any clean container. Just make sure you have cleaned it without the aid of soap or chemicals. If you must have something unusual instead of a basic tank, try someplace like Big Lots or Wallmart and see if you find a container you like but PLEASE get an in-tank filter to go with it.
Also, please read up on proper goldfish care before getting your goldfish. I would recommend:

OK that is a cute idea, but you should probably line up housing for the fish before the wedding just to be safe.
If you were in USA I could give you a bunch of places for cute containers but I'm sorry I don't know of anywhere in the UK. Try a craft/hobby store. I know that Michael's here carries an 8" glass bowl or a nice large beta style vase for $4 and sometimes $2 on sale. Beta fish would handle the bowls better than the goldfish and you could give away the bowl with fish as gifts to the wedding party afterward.

Goldfish and fishbowls are synonymous however goldfish can and often attain reasonable sizes and require far more than a fish bowl to survive healthily. I would suggest at least a 20 gallon tank with good filtration initially increasing once the fish have increased to above 4inch's.

It only takes a day for goldfish to die in a bowl. Shame on you for using a live animal in such a harsh way. I dont know how you can enjoy a wedding with animals suffering during it.

Sorry -- I didn't realize why you wanted them. :) Here's a different answer then:
I found some very affordable glass fishbowls on Overstock:
http://www.overstock.com/Restaurant-Supplies/Flora-Glass-Fish-bowl-Vase-Case-of-6/2196198/product.html?IID=prod2196198
There's a link there for the large, fancy brandy snifters too. Nice thing about Overstock is that the shipping is always 2.95 no matter what you order.
This one is nice and at a nice price:
http://www.aquariumguys.com/roundaquarium1.html
but the shipping for just one is almost $9 which makes it more expensive than the Overstock ones.
You could try local bed & bath furnishings stores, look for sales. Even home decor places stock pretty glass vases and containers for keeping flowers in.
Good luck, and congratulations. :)
