Mason Jar Week: Hanging Jars!

Image
Our week on Mason Jars wouldn't be complete without talking about hanging them as decor for your big day! From ceilings to branches, to even stamps (yes, we said stamps!), we've found the best way to incorporate the beloved Mason Jar into your wedding day! Hanging Mason Jars via Vintage & Lace We love the idea of making a space feel warm and inviting by stringing mason jars filled with tea lights. Feel free to mix different sizes and shapes-- this will add visual interest and create a vintage look. Big or small, we love them all! Hanging Mason Jars with Candles & Pebbles via Pinterest If you want a fuller look, you can fill your jars with both tea lights and pebbles! We adore the idea of hanging them from tree branches with twine for a southern setting. Hanging Mason Jars with Flowers via Vintage & Lace Mason Jars. Flowers. What more can you ask for? The outcome is even more gorgeous when you combine the two! Add the type of flowers that are being used throughout yo...

Moving right along with our week long obsession with Mason Jars - top of the list has to be using them for wedding drinks! Mason Jar Drinks via MN Wedding They're cute, can mix with most wedding styles and themes, and look like adorableness itself with paper straws! (and who doesn't smile everytime you see a paper straw, right?!) They make the perfect detail element and favor combo. Mason Jar Drink and Favor Combo via Wedding Chicks I think the sign is so sweet!

Mason Jar Week: Centerpieces

Happy Monday everyone! I hope that your week is starting out amazingly well! This week I thought it would be fun to devote our attention to one of the most versatile, easy to use, crafty, customizable products I can think of for weddings - The Mason Jar! You can use them for down home country simplicity, or glam them up for a fancy feel too. They look great with an abundance of wildflowers or overflowing with romantic lush bouquets. Don't take my word for it though - check out these fantastic ways to use Mason Jars for your centerpieces: Mason Jar Centerpiece via Do It Yourself Remodeling Ideas I love how they used the ribbon to tie all of the jars together here. It makes them a unit and creates a much bigger effect in the center of the table. Picture the ribbon in a shimmering color and the look changes completely. Mason Jar Centerpiece via Style Me Pretty Florida Here they wrapped each jar separately - it keeps each jar unique and lets them stand out some for a really pretty effe...

Oak Tree Flower Garland

Here in Gainesville, Florida, we have so many majestic Oak Trees perfect for getting married under! Many of our couples take full advantage of this at venues like Santa Fe River Ranch , The Thomas Center , or Kanapaha Botanical Gardens . Usually, couples look to do something to designate the Ceremony spot. I saw this picture and thought it was soft, romantic, and had that perfect touch of whimsy too! Oak Tree Floral Garland via The Green Vase You see ribbon, streamers, and draped fabric around trees all the time - but I thought this seemed different and so pretty! It would be a beautiful way to decorate an outdoor ceremony at any Oak Tree. Do you love this as much as I do? How are you decorating your outdoor ceremony?

Flower girl dresses can be everything from fashion-forward to simply sweet. The possibilities are truly endless and some of them can get a little costly as well. We'd like to bring attention to the Tutu option! Country Tutu via Style Me Pretty Not only are they adorableness beyond measure, but what little girl isn't secretly dreaming of being a ballerina? Flower Girls Twirling via Footstone Photography Tutus make a great budget-friendly option as well, because you can pair them with a simple leotard or t-shirt and you're good to go. Both pieces are readily available at all different locations and price points, and both pieces have future uses in them. Whether they can be worn to ballet class or just for afternoon dress-up play, you can be assured they'll be twirling in them long after your wedding!
