Mason Jar Center Pieces

I have collected about 8 blue antique mason jars. I know the trend right now is using mason jars for weddings. Why not they're so cheap? Not the antique ones! They usually cost about $10 each.

Anyway we are planning on about 15-16 reception tables. So I found a great tutorial on how to stain glass on Pinterest.

Now we have a total of 18 large mason jars some old and some newly painted today! Can you tell the difference?

Happy crafting!!

Less then 3 months to go!

Happy Easter to everyone!

I cannot believe that we have less then 3 months to go until the big day!! The invitations went out a couple of days ago and I am giddy with excitement to receive the RSVP's back.

A surprise craft project is in the works for all those cute RSVP tags that my mom and I made....

SOoo much to do and the weekend is just oh so short!

Flower Shopping

Today my Mom, Wendy and I jumped in the Mini and drove down to the the local flower grower in Nipomo, California. We had so much fun meandering through the different walk in refrigerators full of flowers.

There are so many beautiful flowers out there! We got some great ideas for color combinations and flower combinations. Loving the ranunculus!

I brought some ranunculus home along with a beautiful English Rose and put them in one of the many Vintage Blue mason Jars I have for the wedding.

Wedding invitations!

The wedding invitations are almost done!! Our puppy Lucy is trying to help and Patches is supervising!

4 months to go!

We have about four months to go until the wedding. Starting to feel a little stress but really just getting more excited!!

Working on putting our invitations together! Delegating rentals of tables and chairs to Larry. And figuring out logistics.

Venue Visit

Yesterday we went to our venue and met with our day of coordinator Tara and our friend Wendy who will be doing our flowers. It was so exciting to actually plan out where everything is going to be and discuss all of the logistics of everything.

There have been some changes to the venue which include a new dance floor. A curfew on music of 10:00pm and the possibility of a new barn being built.

Despite these changes I think everything is going to turn out beautifully. At least that's what I'm going to keep telling myself. At the end of the day my guests are not going to know if "the lemons" made it out on the tables. It's a running joke between our planning friends.

Until next time.
