{Vintage Inspiration} It's in the Details: Doilies

So I know there are some doily lovers out there, but when most of you think of a doily you probably think of your grandmother's house or of a bad homemade valentine.  Well, the vintage wedding trend has breathed new life into the doily, and I for one am really liking the fresh take on them and all of the fun ways to use them.

{A Lovely Roundup} Mason Jars in Weddings

If you follow this blog, you know I am a big lover of mason jars.  In fact, as I sit in my living room now I can see 6 of them!  So I often like to revist mason jar uses for both weddings and home.  Here is a round-up of some great ways to incorporate mason jars in your wedding:

{Top Row} Chris Berneking via Luna and Chloe, Jennifer Roper (from my wedding), Jessamyn Harris, Adam and Eve Weddings

{Middle Row} Sean Walker, Kate Harrison, via Elizabeth Anne Designs

{Bottom Row} Jennifer Roper (from my wedding), Adam and Eve Weddings via Intimate Weddings, Sabine Scherer, Jamie Grenough via Style Me Pretty

Beverage holders, candle holders, picture holders, flower holders, (that sort of rhymes!) lanterns, chandeliers, escort cards, drink glasses, even invitations - there are so many uses for mason jars in your wedding.  Stay tuned for ways to use them after your wedding, in your home decor!
