How i love you so, Mason jars !

          I love mason jars. You can do so much or so little with them, they are a cheap way how to make the most stunning wedding decor, that looks anything but cheap!

         
          If you are on the budget bride, than mason jars are your new best friend. All you need is a little bit of imagination and creativity, dollar and craft store and you are set. You can use them for other occasions as well. They are great even for simple and original home decor !                                             

Because of the clasic, rustic charm of the mason jars , they can be filled with nearly any type of flower. To make them even more original you can dip the mason jars in enamel paint that flatters your wedding colors, place small tied bouquets inside, together with different types of grasses, herbs or stones.
You can tie a bow around them, fill 1/4 with stones and another 1/2 with water and insert floating candels. If you want to be even more creative and you have bigger budget, add alive Gold Fish.

When mothers day approaches, surprise your mommy with brunch table centerpieces made out of mason jars, filled with flowers and for an extra "love" touch, insert into each jar a copy of your favorite mommy and you picture.

Mason jars dont have to be used only as table centerpieces for your special event. They can be used really as anything. Like I said, all you need is little bit of imagination and creativity.

You can use them as seating cards (via pic) and insert little guest gifts inside.
On a hot summer day, fill the mason jars with lemonade, add some lemons for fresnes, funky straw with wedding colors, tie guest name tags around the top and you have an original, great looking, refreshing seating card and gift in one.

You have different seating card ideas and center pieces and you still dont know what to do with your mason jars?
What about Candy Land Table.
All you need is bunch of mason jars, fill 1/2 of each jar with different colored jelly beans or candy, and insert big colorful lolipops with bride/grooms name for guest to take as gifts.
Dont forget little "to go" boxes, so guest can take their share of candy and enjoy !

          



The Beginning

Eva & Andy



         The Wedding Diaries were build on my pure love for event planning, decoration and coordination. My creativity, sense of style and attention to detail were always a big part of my daily life and so one day I asked myself " Why dont I transfer all this passion into my own business " and so I did. 

          My management and coordination skills started in 2007, when I worked side by side to Peter Papadoupolous, one of the best managers and event coordinators on Long Island, NY. With his help and teaching skills, I helped with countless events, including corporate events, golf outings, summer picnic, birthday parties, personal lunches and dinners, bridal and baby showers and last but not least Weddings.
          I fell in love with decorating and finding the best deals out there, to make each and every event special and as perfect as it can be. From over the top princess style wedding, with big gowns, extravagant chandeliers, peacocks and crystal silverware to on the budget beautiful wedding in the wineries, with simple, but beautiful vineyard theme decor.

          Each and every wedding is different and it should be made in the footsteps of the bride and groom. To fit their dreams and their personalities. To help them start their life together in the way, they are dreaming about. To make their Wedding day, the best day of their lives, the day they will remember forever and will always go back to in their dreams.
