DIY Jute Glass Bottle Vase

Do It Yourself: Jute Glass Bottle Vase

Transform a glass soda bottle into a stunning rustic Jute Vase.  Create a positive impact on the earth by using recycled glass bottles and the biodegradable jute to create stylish decor for your next wedding or event.  Not only will these DIY Jute Glass Bottle Vases leave a small footprint on the earth, they will also leave an even smaller dent in your wallet.

DIY Jute Glass Bottle Vase

Materials

Steps

1. Gather at least 30 feet (30ft) of jute string.
2. Using a hot glue gun, glue one end of the jute string to the bottom edge of the bottle.
3. Place a line of glue around the bottom edge of the bottle and snugly place jute over the glue.
4. Begin tightly wrapping the bottle with jute and apply a small line of glue about every two inches (2″) to secure jute in place.
5. Wrap jute to the top rim of the bottle and glue the end in place.
6. Place a freshly cut flower or small arrangement into the opening of the vase and now you have a unique, eco-friendly jute vase!

Helpful Tips

  • The coils of jute may want to ride up the bottle. Place a line of glue around the entire bottle in those areas to ensure that the jute will securely stay in place.
  • While adding each coil of jute pull tightly and push down to be sure that the bottle is completely covered.
  • If your string runs short there is no need to worry. Easily glue another strand of jute string where the last piece has ended and continue wrapping, the strands will blend in together.
  • Collect used glass bottles from friends and family. Wrap three bottles with different sizes and shapes and combine to create a beautiful centerpiece.
  • Pair your upcycled jute bottle with our wooden table numbers, a burlap wrapped glass votive and burlap table runner to create a stunning rustic tablescape.

1.  Fans – A variety of colors and textures such as sandalwood, raffia fans, or folding paper fans are a perfect complement to a sunny outdoor wedding or garden party.  We love that they can also double as take-home favors too!

2.  Apothecary Jars – Known for their aesthetic appeal, apothecary jars are a stylish addition to any party.  Cluster a few jars in various shapes and sizes for a whimsical centerpiece.  Alternate each centerpiece by alternately filling the jars with candy, cookies, or even spices, thereby leaving each table with a distinctive look.  And of course – if you are planning a candy bar, then these jars practically required!

Elegant chair sashes, trendy tote bags, and go-to favor bags (including imprinted burlap favor bags) are great ways to add a subtle touch of vintage charm.  Burlap perfectly complements the bright hues of summer so don’t be afraid to showcase this on-trend fabric.

Bridal Shower 101

Happy Friday everyone! The weekend is almost upon us and we’re looking forward to the relaxation ahead! Now that we are in the midst of spring, many of you may have bridal showers lined up to attend over the next couple of weeks. Or perhaps you will be playing hostess for a loved one’s shower or as a bride, you are looking for some inspiration and ideas. With this in mind, we’ve put together a few decor ideas and themes that can help you along the way.

The first step is to decide on the theme or ambience for your bridal shower (also dependent on your choice of venue).  For instance, you’re feeling the modern vibe then stick to a color scheme of muted tones and greys with accents of gold, silver, or bronze.  Eiffel towers add an instant sleek modern touch.  Or you could go for a more traditional and true favorite approach and host a brunch or tea party.  In this case, edible favors compliment perfectly with a fete centered around a meal.

 

Next, plan out the menu. As mentioned above, brunches and teas are traditional favorites but don’t be afraid to try something new.  Does the bride love a good party? Consider hosting a cocktail hour bridal shower.  A variety of cocktail glasses and drinkware infuses a celebratory mood that guests will appreciate.

Create a signature cocktail featuring the bride’s favorite drink – a twist on a margarita or martini will be a sure hit.  Add hand written menus on paper or chalkboards.  When it comes to desserts, you can keep it simple but charmingly festive with an old-fashioned cookie bar or platters of ice cream sandwiches.

Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment with themes and decor.  A vintage themed wedding does not require a similarly themed bridal shower. Showers are a time when friends and family of the bride gather for an intimate party of cheer and merriment.  However and wherever you choose to host the bridal shower, be sure to remember it’s all about creating beautiful memories.

 

Hot Wedding Trend Alert

Lately, we’ve been noticing runways and fashion magazines filled with a particular trend we wholeheartedly embrace: ruffles!

From skirts, shirts, purses, and even bridal gowns, it seems that everyone is ready to embrace this ultra elegantly feminine detail. Seeing ruffles everywhere got us thinking how to incorporate ruffles into wedding decor. Ruffles are perfect to infuse a little femininity into a modern or casual wedding. A few of our favorite ideas below:

1.   Are you planning to treat your guests to a candy buffet?  Consider using ruffled table linens, such as overlays or table runners. Though the focus remains on the scrumptious candy display, ruffled linens add a pop of elegant detailing.

 

2.  Play with ruffles at your reception by ditching standard chair covers and throwing a ruffled cover over the chair back instead.  It’s a sure way to add immediate texture and depth to your overall reception decor.

3.  An easy DIY idea to go big on ruffles – check your local fabric store for a big ruffled piece that is large enough to be used as a backdrop.  Hang this piece as a textured backdrop for your candy table, dessert bar, or behind your cake display.  It’s guaranteed to instantly grab your guests’ attention.

4.  Pair ruffles and flowers together! Another fun DIY idea – wrap ruffled fabric around vases that will servce as your centerpieces.  You can choose colors that either complement the flowers or the overall decor scheme.  You can also wrap the fabric around votives that use LED for an ultra-glam look.

These are just a few of our ideas but we’d love to hear more from you.  You can also scour our Pinterest board for more ideas!

Candy Buffet Tips – Decor Details

While our previous post focused on candy buffet basics, today we look to the decor details that can turn your candy buffet from ordinary to extraordinary!

Every candy buffet begins with candy of course, but with so much to choose from it’s best to start small.  Decide on a color palette or theme (vintage candy, sports-themed candy) and go from there.  From there, you can go about setting your buffet table.

It’s best to have some bulk candy on hand to fill various jars and bowls.  But we like adding a little variety to our candy buffets by including dessert treats like cookies, cupcakes, or even macaroons.  Add personalized favor tags and labels around cupcake boxes or candy jars. Decorate around the jars of candy with mason jars filled with vintage paper drinking straws or lollipops.

It’s all about the details so don’t forget to add small decor pieces like cupcake toppers or mini paper flag picks.  Depending on your theme, tie burlap ribbon or satin ribbon around candy jars to accent your color palette.

Finish off the buffet table with decorative accents like pinwheels, tissue paper pom poms, and even hanging paper lanterns.

With candy buffets, the possibilities are endless.  Guests are treated to a visual treat while indulging their sweet tooth.  Let us know if you’re planning a candy buffet for your next baby shower, bridal shower, or wedding – we’d love to see your imagination in action!

Candy Buffet Tips

Candy buffets are a trend that we are happy to see stay around for a while!  Versatile and easy to customize to your own tastes, candy buffets have become a wedding favorite.  Since it’s all about presentation, it’s best to decide on a theme or style for your display and go from there.  Candy buffets are a perfect DIY project but also fun to take on for those brides that may be afraid to let their creative impulse take over.  At the end of it all, there is no right or wrong way to display a candy buffet.  So dive right in and let your imagination run wild!

Let’s start with the basics – items and supplies you’ll need regardless of the style of your candy buffet.  Whether planning for a large-size table spread or an intimate table with your favorite sweets, you’ll need an assortment of sizes and shapes of candy buffet jars and vases.  Glass cloche bells are perfect to display cakes and pies.  You’ll also need a couple of aluminum candy buffet scoops and steel candy tongs – though not required for each and every candy jar.  Cake pops are very popular right now and a cake push pop stand showcases them in the best way possible.

Next, you can add a whimsy element to your candy buffet with candy buffet signs.  Personalize your message with wooden black board directional arrow signs and or miniature rectangular wooden blackboard signs.

Finally, if you love cupcakes as much as we do, don’t forget to leave room on the table for a gorgeous cupcake stand to display these treats in all their glory!

Now that we covered foundational items needed for almost any candy buffet display, our next post will delve into decor details galore.

Top 10 Wedding Trends for 2013

Christmas is just around the corner, but we’re already excited for the 2013 wedding season!  If you’re planning a wedding for 2013, don’t miss out on these top trends that will tie your perfect day all together!

1.  Paper Lanterns

Paper lanterns are perfect for almost any type of wedding – from budget-friendly to extravagance, to indoor or outdoor – this key piece of decor makes creative lighting simple.  Part of the fun of paper lanterns is that the options are endless – you can stick to just one color, try different shades of the same color, or get colorful by color-blocking different hues.  An added bonus – paper lanterns can function as centerpieces as well!

2.  Colorful Charger Plates

Dressing the table is arguably one of the most important pieces of your wedding decor.  Solid color charger plates were all the rage in 2012 and the trend shows no signs of disappearing.  Because you can find charger plates in practically any color, it’s easy to find one that fits with your style.  Set against white linens, brightly colored charger plates immediately tell your guests it’s time to party.

3.  Tissue Paper Pom Poms

We’re starting to see a trend here: color.  Whether you use tissue paper pom poms as an alternative to paper lanterns, or in addition to, this decor trend adds casual elegance to any event.  You can even use them at your bridal shower and then again at the wedding – a budget friendly way to go big on decor.

4.  Kissing Balls

Here’s another trend we’re noticing: hanging decor.  We love kissing balls because they’re an easy yet decorative way to instantly dress up your outdoor event.  Hang these from trees, shepherd hooks, or the backs of chairs.  Extremely detailed, kissing balls create stunning decor for any event.

5.  Hanging Crystal Garlands

Looking to add some glam to your wedding without going overboard?  2013 is all about subtle touches of glamour. Hanging crystal garlands are perfect to use on centerpieces, especially on gorgeous manzanita trees.  Mix and match colors on the same centerpiece for an unexpected look.

 

6.  Paper Fans/Sandalwood Fans

Summer is still far off, but it’s not too early to start planning your summer wedding.  Many couples like to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and hold their wedding and/or reception outside.  However, whether your guests will be seated in a tent or not, make sure they’re prepared for the hot summer sun.  Paper and sandalwood fans are perfect because they’re both functional and decorative!

7.  Raffia Fans

If you’re looking for more texture in your fans, then look no further than raffia fans.  These days you can find raffia everywhere – furniture, party ware, and rugs!

8.  Rhinestone Ribbon Rolls

Here’s another trend that’s here to stay for a while – rhinestone ribbon rolls.  If you’re a DIY kind of bride, then this is a 2013 must-have.  These rhinestone rolls are easy to cut and to add adhesive to on the back.  Let your imagination run wild with this glam decor.  Some of our favorite ideas: wrap around candle centerpieces, use them on place cards, decorate your gift box, and more!

9.  Custom Cupcake Toppers

Custom cupcake wrappers were everywhere in 2012 and don’t expect them to go anywhere in 2013!  Customized cupcake toppers are a fun way to add personalization to your special day.  Use these toppers to create messages for your save-the-date cards, engagement photos, and reception dessert table!

10.  Burlap

One of our favorites – burlap is a must for any vintage, shabby chic event.  Perfect for both indoor and outdoor events, burlap adds and instant touch of rusticity.
