The fabulous vintage/antique Ball jar.
Get art print here.
I have a whole concept in mind, where blue Ball jars will be used in both the centerpieces, as foundation and larger pieces to antiques/findings clusters placed on a large tree slice with our initials burned into them on each table, and through out the reception decor (as vases, lanterns, places for cards and notes.) See my sketch and one I found online that is very similar:
"Found Object Center Pieces"
What does my scribble say?
Along the left hand side: Bridesmaids in gray, gold, turquoise, celadon, and kelly with flowers and shoes in same colors, just not MATCHING. i.e. a gal with a turquoise flower in her hair in a gray dress with kelly shoes. Jordan immediately vetoed the idea of mismatching color bridesmaids. "What's this? A f*cking crayola box? It'll look like PROM. Bridesmaids wear same dress, same color, same fabric." I was certainly surprised at his knowledge and strong opinions on bridesmaid decor...
Below my sketch it says: pebbles, stones, wild flowers, antique glass, sea glass, shells, sticks (painted gold and silver), acordns, pinecones (glittered in wedding colors), birds, Legos, gnomes.
Note to trifling bitches: don't cop my steez!
Not to mention something like this on my save the date with a fabulous picture of my man and I?
Buy it here on the mecca of all that is fabulous, etsy. I would never buy those...I prefer to creatively rip off things and DIY!
I have decided it will be a quest for my wedding party to go junking after I announce my engagement for antique glass pieces (milk glass, old apothecary bottles, and vases) and of course, as many g.d. blue Ball jars they can grab! Lazy ladies can even buy them online here!
I'll be 'Ballin' on my wedding day!
Love that vintage hue for something blue,
Kate
I am actually starting to collect jars for a lot of my decor as well. Love the look, and you can do so much with them. Wine bottles are another thing I am collecting!
