DIY Hanging Jars

I was looking through the Wedding Bee archives when I found this super cute DIY project. Hanging Jars are very popular right now and are a wonderful addition to any outdoor wedding. So, you can imagine how excited I was when I found this little project! I think these would be perfect to hang flowers or candles from. You could even make an isle at an outdoor wedding or hang them from the ceiling. The possibilities are endless! I LOVE it!

 

Materials

Small Glass Jars

Raffia

Shepard’s Hooks

 

Measure raffia to desired length (about 12 inches for long ones). It is better to go longer at first because, you can always tie a knot in the top of the handle at the end if you would like them shorter. Wrap the raffia around the mouth of the jar and knot the handle. Fill jar with candles or flowers and hang from the Shepard’s hooks.

 

 

 

 

 

Black and White Wedding

When we first start planning our wedding, we realize what a big choices we have to make! One part of the planning process that often stresses out a bride-to-be is choosing a color theme. And rightfully so. It’s a big decision and once you move forward with that color or color scheme you have to follow through with it in almost every other aesthetic decision. And if you second guess your choice it can feel like your entire. wedding. is. ruined. It’s a lot to ask of a color.

A color (or lack thereof) that often gets forgotten about when bride-to-be’s make this life altering decision is black.  There’s something elegant, classic, and it feels like a homage to Hepburn style when you contrast the wedding-white with clean black centerpieces and other adornments.

So if you’re planning your wedding, consider black for a color. And don’t forget to check out our black bridal party tees to keep the theme going at your bachelorette party and more!
