While the sunshine and outdoors add to the appeal of a warm-weather celebration, you certainly don’t want you or your guests to get overheated.

Why not provide  personalized chilled bottles of water, juice or soda for guests during your ceremony and reception? Dress up the bottles with custom seals, favor tags and ribbon. I can help you find the best pricing for all of these individualized touches.

Jars and bottles are a unique and inexpensive way to display table numbers. They also create a charming vase for centerpieces on your reception tables. Flowers can be customized in the jar to fit your style—casual wildflowers tied with raffia or hemp look just as stylish as neatly-arranged, glamorous blossoms tied up with ribbons. Don’t forget to add personal touches to your table arrangements—books, buttons, photographs…

Want something hip and trendy? Jars make the coolest drinking glasses that can also be used as a take-home gift for your guests. For a small party or reception, each jar can be personalized with a guest’s name. As a party favor, include a tag with your initials, names, wedding date, or any other personal information that will remind your guest of the special day—and don’t forget the whimsical use of straws.

Plus, why toast with a traditional champagne glass? Bride and Groom can even have their own special jars and even feature a signature drink at the reception.

Jars can also be filled with jams, jellies, candies, cookie mixes—you name it! The presentation is what will make your guest feel like they have received a treasured gift from you. I can assist you in finding the most unique jar favors that represent your special day in a very personalized and contemporary way.

Think outside the box in terms of using mason jars in your services as well. They can create an enchanting aisle decoration, whether tied to chairs or church pews or hanging from a shepherds hook. No doubt these ideas will make your day unforgettable.

Jars are a simple way to create ambiance, as well. Since they are the perfect container for tea lights and votive candles, they serve well as luminaries. String them from branches or ceiling rafters, along with lights for a look that is stunning both by day and by night. Fill the bottom with something that represents you—sand, coffee beans, buttons, colored stones…you name it! I’ll help you think of distinctive ideas that best characterize you.

The versatility of jars and bottles is vast. The bottom line is, your styling should be like seeing your own signature on your reception. It doesn’t have to be pricey to be remarkable and customized. Every day, I help brides create exceptional weddings and receptions that exceed their dreams.
