October Update: I didn’t plan to take a blogging break this month, but life has been and continues to be especially demanding with the Sept. 30th release of my devotional Christmas for the Heart. With caregiving and other responsibilities on top of that, my plate is full to overflowing. Hope to see you back here in early-mid November. If you need some help or ideas in the meantime, search a topic in the search bar and see what comes up!
Mother of the Bride, is a rustic wedding in your daughter’s future? Have either of you given any thought yet to style-appropriate table décor? Your decision might be influenced by whether or not the reception will be indoors or outdoors or whether the theme is more specific to ranching, farming, a throwback to the Old West, or just country living in general.
The mason-jar-with-flowers idea shown above is simple yet adorable and could fit in well with a variety of rustic weddings. Simply start with a mason jar, add a swatch of burlap and ribbon around the middle, tie off a twine bow at the top, and fill the jar with some simple and inexpensive baby’s breath and another flower in one of the wedding colors. The result? Super cute, easy to make, and budget friendly as well. Can’t beat that, right?
So MOB, if rustic is the order of your upcoming big day, share this great idea with your little bride-to-be daughter and see if she’d like to use it for her table centerpieces or as table (or stump!) décor or as accent pieces in other places. These cute mason jars will be sure to add a touch of beauty however they’re used!
