I read in Pinterest about wedding centerpieces made from Mason jars, they were beautiful. I did made some and they are nice. I made them just to make them it was easy.

Before I stick my foot in my mouth, I have a few questions. What type of wedding are you having? Is it formal, at home, at a beach, in a backyard? How many guests are you having, what is your budget. I've assisted with many weddings from ritzy to down home, but I need to know these things before I give you ideas

I created my wedding. I placed blue coffee filter roses in dollar store martini glasses and a ribbon on the stem. I also added three small blue candles around them. The favors were a pyramid box with a chocolate heart and three chocolate kisses inside. On one side it said hugs and kisses, on the other side from the mr and mrs. They went over well.

For centerpieces: I saw this on Hometalk so you can search and get the link. You take a bag of rose petals from the craft store, a load of plastic spoons (clear) with the handles broken off and large round glass "fish bowls" you often get flowers in (or fish). Glue petals on spoons, start at top of bowl and hot glue spoon/petals on to bowl. Work your way down, last row has no spoon so you can cover bottom of bowl. Add a battery operated tea light and voila! Enter in search : DIY Rose Petals Luminary and also DIY Wedding Centerpieces. Little searching=big savings. Good luck!

Just looked at Marcy's suggestion, Young House Love. My advice is to run, not walk, over to that link. Brilliant ideas that you can modify to your own taste.

For a country themed wedding we used tin cans. Just remove the label, wrap with burlap and lace and fill with flowers. We set them on top of doilies. You could also spray paint the cans if you'd like. Glad to send a picture if your interested.

Also, for wedding favors we took an old galvanized tub and line it with plastic (garbage bag). Filled it with crumpled newspaper to fill it then added potting soil. We took flower seed packets from WalMart $.20 a piece and glued them to graft sticks and stuck (planted) them in the soil. We added a sign that said "Pick One and Watch Love Grown". Everyone loved the idea and was glad to take some home.

Use a large brandy snifter---glue a small pearl rope around the very top edge. Fill with greenery or rose petals and add a white tall bulky candle. You can put a ribbon around the stem on the bottom or use ivy. You can qalso fill it with white shiny rocks.

Ashley, guests like candy favors best, and chocolate is a favorite. Although, if you are getting married during the Summer, I would avoid it. It depends on your creativity, you could fill favor boxes with Hersey kisses, white chocolates, gourmet jelly beans, etc. For table decorations, there are so many ideas: hurricane glass with a pillar candle, tied with tulle or ribbon, gold or silver looks elegant, flowers, balloons, small silver picture frames placecards, etc.
