Weddingbee boards

We used smaller mason jars with candles. (Joann fabric ended up having the perfect size, taller than tea lights but slightly smaller than votives). We alternated with orange and blue ribbon down long rows of tables. It was the perfect, understated look we wanted with some color and a warm glow.

I remember seeing some on Style Me Pretty. Love the mason jar idea! I'm thinking about using them as the aisle decorations by using a wire wrapped around the top to hang on the chair.

We did jelly jars for our aisle. They don't have writing, just pretty diamond shapes on the side. I found a lady at the farmers market who sells beautiful flowers for really cheap and we got a bunch of them. Way better than trying to work through a florist (though we did get everything else from a pro). We were running around and didn't cut the stems enough, but they still look pretty.

@curlyncurvy: We used 3/8 ribbon at the mouth and tied a simple knot, flipping the ends down. We used clear nailpolish to prevent fraying. Also, I put a glob of hot glue on the bottom of each candle, to keep it centered in the jar. A friend did the same thing, but then put 1/2" of sand in the bottom and some tiny seashells.
