Cheap Wedding Centerpieces made from Mason Jars

• As vases. Mason jars can hold beautiful flower arrangements of little bouquets of fresh flowers or tender baby’s breath, or even feature a single flower. Use jars of different sizes and color of the glass; painted mason jars or those covered with various relief coatings, such as glitter, sand, seashells, etc., are a wonderful choice!
• As coquette candle holders. Little tea light or fragrant candles placed in transparent and colored glass mason jars look so charming with the soft flames flickering against the curved glass. You can have one part of the jar filled with sea water or beach sand to hold the little candle higher.

• As containers for ‘all things nice’. Mason jars are usually used to hold yummy things like sweet jams, tasty canned vegetables, and even fragrant herbs. But on the wedding table you can fill them with other nice things such as little colorful pebbles, glass beads, little seashells, colorful sand, candles, flower petals, glitter, and even sweets! When using the jars in this way, you can display them either open, or closed with metallic caps or with a piece of cloth fastened with a string of twine or with a thin ribbon. This will definitely add more color and charm to the entire centerpiece composition.
• For yet more romantic feel and beautiful presentation, wrap the jars entirely or partially in tender tulle and lace, or in rustic burlap and nautical twine, or you can just tie around their ‘neck’ ribbons, twine strings, lace etc.

Glass bottles make perfect wedding table decorations

With their elegant elongated shape, glass bottles make the perfect decorative element to use in a wedding table centerpiece composition.

• As a focal point. Standing higher than the other elements of the wedding table centerpiece composition, tall bottles of different height and color of the glass can be successfully used in the table decoration as a beautiful focal point, single or in an ensemble. They bring balance in the entire architecture of the centerpiece, too, as their elongated shape contrasts the low-profile dimensions of the other used items.
• As a stand for other items. Bottles can be graceful vases for fresh flowers or baby’s breath bouquets, a single long-stem flower or a thin branch. Often, they can be finished with a whimsical decorative top, be it a bouquet of artificial paper flowers or a large decorative bottle stopper. Bottles can also serve as original candlesticks to hold either tall candles or, on the contrary, tiny glittering tea light candles placed intimately inside.

• Standing or lying. Bottles are most often used as decorative items standing gracefully tall among other decorations. But they can also be placed in a horizontal position with the same success for achieving a highly original effect. A message bottle lying on the table, covered with sand, seashells and sea algae, can itself become a most original centerpiece of the entire wedding table centerpiece!
• Empty or filled. In any of the above described uses, bottles can be displayed either empty or filled. Depending on the particular decorative composition, bottles can be filled with water, beach sand or colorful sand, little pebbles, seashells, flower petals, glass beads, and more!

• Transparent, painted or dressed. What makes bottles a top favorite decorative item is, that there are no limits to their presentation. You can use bottles of transparent or semi-transparent glass, colored glass, painted glass… the options are so many! They can be covered entirely or partially with a ‘coat’ of paint, glitter, sand, seashells, various relief coatings, etc. You can glue on them labels or other artistic decorative ornaments of various original designs, too. The best part however is that bottles can be “dressed” in so many creative ways! They can be all wrapped in tulle, lace, rustic burlap, twine, etc. tissues and will look stunning! Why?! You can even “dress” two bottles as the ‘Mr & Mrs’ wedding couple!

How to Create Valentines Day Flower Arrangements

Draw Inspiration from Valentines Day Centerpiece Ideas

To create a standout centerpiece, group flowers of the same shade in one vase. If you want a flower arrangement that will last, display an exotic plant that has been potted. To make a great centerpiece on a tight budget, simply buy flowers online for less and create the centerpiece of your dreams. A handmade centerpiece will not only brighten up your dining room, it will keep things lively and fun.

Put Flowers in Portable Containers

You don’t always have to put flowers in a vase and place them on your coffee table. Times have changed and so should you. Display your blooms in non-traditional containers like metal containers or hanging baskets. A crystal compote can also make a beautiful vase; you can support a bouquet of flowers with florist’s or transparent tape. Unique containers turn flowers into show-stopping décor.

Look to Unique Valentine’s Day Ideas

If you want your flower arrangements to make an impact, you have to go beyond conventional arrangements. Display your blooms in small bud vases for a striking effect. Choose flowers in different colors to show your love and to decorate your home. Pick flowers that cost less but fill a vase beautifully. Roses are the most expensive flowers on Valentine’s Day so buy other ones. Look for seasonal blooms that come in many hues. Place them in a large footed bowl and create a great alternative to traditional bouquets.

If you want to set the mood for love this Valentine’s, you must get creative. Create breathtaking Valentine’s Day flower arrangements that will make your loved one’s face light up. Think outside the box and you’ll be sure to impress them.

Which of the above arrangements will you try?

Decorating Your Easter Home With Spring Blooms

Egg Crates, Egg Shells & Spring Blooms for Easter Decor

This time of the year calls for some fresh takes on home decor, especially the one that uses flowers. Won’t it be a great idea to use egg crates and egg shells as planter boxes for your table arrangements! You can use soft springy pastels to paint the egg shells and subsequently root soft fresh blooms in these shells. I am sure, once done, this Easter decor will surpass all degrees of agreeability.

Vintage Meets Spring This Easter

Were you about to discard that old metal water can? Wait till Easter! Arrange fresh flowers in the water can and garnish the fresh flower arrangement with some egg shells painted in soft pastel shades of spring. You can go a step further and break a few egg shells and place small flowers in them. What better way to greet you visitors this Easter than hanging this vintage can on your entrance door!

Replace The Marbles With Eggs

So many fresh flower arrangements make use of soft rounded marbles to enhance the effect of the flower arrangement. I would love to use small eggs instead of stones this Easter and create an Easter decor with a difference. And the best part about this one is the sheer ease of going about this arrangement.

Doing Away With The Eggs

Oh yes you heard me right! We can create an Easter decor without the use of eggs. What one can do instead is use a white backdrop for your decor and liven the environment using spring blooms. The missing eggs can be sufficed by using white plates and cutlery!

Easter Decor cannot possibly be at its best without incorporating the elements of spring as they both go hand in hand. Easter that generates so much enthusiasm amongst all of us in the family, definitely deserves a special decor setup. Spring blooms also cannot be ignored as we waited so much for them to come and for the winter to go. An intelligent blend of Spring and Easter can give way to some great decor ideas. Fresh blooms used against Easter Eggs for me is one way of doing it! I would love to hear from you about a few other ways to incorporate spring into the Easter theme though. Do write to us!
