I did these simple decorations for my wedding and they looked lovely and are a good way to fill every nook and cranny and are fab to use on tables as they do not take up too much room and you can still see over the top of them. They are so easy to make so get all your maids, the mums and I even had the best man making these fab little jars that can also double up as favours.
Step 1.
Collect all jam jars ect the best ones are spice jars, I had everyone collecting them and they soon add up.
Step 2.
Add pretty lace or ribbon to jars or both, Tip... look out for a fabric/wool/craft shops, they often sell bundles of off cut lace and ribbon alot cheaper than buying online or on the roll.
Step 3.
Raid everyones garden! I raided mine and my sisters, however we planned for this a year in advance. The year previous we looked at what was out in the garden already so we knew what we'd have to use, then I bought seeds or plants of anything extra I wanted that I knew would be in flower the time I was getting married. Don't fret if you dont have a garden as there are companies that specialise in cut your own. A good idea is to raid the hedgerows, this is especialy good when creating an autuminal theme as you can forage for some beautiful things.
Step 4.
Arange your flowers in the jars. I also used the larger jars as tea light holders and they looked so pretty in the evening!
