My daughter recently announced she wanted an outdoor wedding. She picked the venue–my brother in law’s rustic barn. I knew I needed to make some decorations, but I needed some that matched my skill set-easy-and didn’t look like they screamed My Big Redneck Wedding. (Although this could have possibly spun off into a reality show.) Enter David Tutera with his dream that everyone should be able to go ‘down the aisle in style.’ He has a complete line of do it yourself wedding supplies, which I received a box of, available at JoAnn fabric and craft stores, allowing me to create some fabulous, low cost decorations.
Wedding Candle Place Settings
You need:
16 ounce mason jars
Epsom salts
votive candle in wedding colors
David Tutera 24 piece casual elegance tags
Glue
Directions:
Remove lid from mason jar. Fill with 8 ounces of Epson salt. Place votive candle in Epson salt. Glue the ribbon of the casual elegance tag around the rim of the jar. Let dry. Before gluing ribbon onto jar be sure to write whatever message you want onto the tag.
Burlap Flower Table Marker
You need:
16 ounce mason jars
Epsom salts
David Tutela jute
David Tutela small burlap flowers (8 to a pack)
David Tutela small wood slates
Directions:
Remove lid from mason jar. Wrap jute around the brim of the jar until rim is covered. This will take about 12-15 inches of jute. Glue into place. When dry, glue a small burlap flower to the jute on the front of the jar. Fill jar with 8 ounces of Epson salt. Add a small wood salt with the table number or the name of the person to be seated.
Simple Wedding Place Settings
You need:
32 ounce mason jars
Epsom salts
David Tutera large wood slates
David Tutera paper napkin holders
David Tutera Butterfly Clips
Directions:
Remove lid from mason jar. Using two paper napkin holders, attach them to center of mason jar. (I just hooked them together using the tabs on the napkins.) Fill jar half full with Epson salts. Place a large wood slate into the jar. Attach a butterfly wedding clip to the front of the jar. Voila! Casual elegance. For more color, feel free to use a small amount of food coloring in the Epson salt.
What sorts of easy crafts have you created for wedding decorations? Feel free to leave me ideas!

These are so cute! I can envision them also being adapted for other uses. Such as a bridal shower or a baby shower! I love to repurpose items and I seem to somehow gather mason jars each season. Thanks for getting my crafting wheels turning.
That would be so cute for a wedding!
How cute! I’m sure that these ideas will make your daughter’s wedding look wonderful!
These could be for more than weddings too. Love the idea, especially the butterflies. 🙂
My niece’s wedding theme has that “antique” look and these new mason jar decorations would fit in perfect! I can’t wait to share these with her! Thanks!!
SO cute. My son was just at a wedding and all of the decorations were like these.
love these ideas… they are soo pretty and not just for a wedding, you can turn them into babyshower ideas, wedding shower and even Birthday…LOVE it… thanks for sharing
I like the butterfly one best.
These decorations are so pretty and I love that they are simple to make and don’t cost a whole lot. Weddings are expensive enough as it is so it’s important to cut corners whenever possible.
I love this idea of a classic item and making it so pretty. I bet that these would look especially great at night with the light sparkling on them.
What fabulous and clever ideas! I am totally addicted to all things mason jars so this was a super fun post! Hmm.. who is getting married? I will be hijacking their plans and making some of these!
Feel free to come down and help me when the time comes, Dawn! 🙂
