Mason Jars. They're super cheap. You can collect them at yard sales, stores like Big Lots, on eBay or, if you're from a small mid-western town like I am, from just about every women in the town. You can dress them up with ribbon or twine or you can wrap them in a pretty patterned paper or wall paper. Just hot glue the flaps closed and voila- cute vase. Covering them is nice if you're not looking for country charm. For a more modern wedding theme maybe cover them in chalkboard paper. Add a few big blooms like roses or hydrangeas, or wildflowers for something more informal, and your centerpieces are finished.
I'm engaged to a wonderful man and planning my own wedding. Like so many brides, I intend to host this lovely event on a limited budget. I'm approaching this without the wedding industry "to do" list and with a focus on the marriage and graciously welcoming my guests.
