A few weeks ago, we traveled to Branson, MO for a sweet wedding. My dear (and VERY creative friend), Jane, made these awesome centerpieces for the wedding!!
How cute are those??? Mason jars of various sizes, wrapped in burlap, lace, and twine. With tea lights in the bottom. And on a few tables, we placed our bridesmaid bouquets in one of the jars. Simple. Gorgeous. Oh and the tree "disk" that they were on was pretty cute too.
So I've been saving EVERY glass jar we empty in the kitchen with the full intention of recreating these this summer. Now I don't have a dead tree to cut up, so I'm thinking I'm going to use a variety of old (and hopefully tarnished) silver trays to hold the jars. I have some burlap already, looking at garage sales for some old lace curtains to cut up (thought that would be cheaper than buying at Joann's), and I need to get some twine. But I think I can make LOTS of these centerpieces for less than $10. Sweet!
Here is a close up of the beautiful bridesmaid bouquets... all green. Love it. I probably won't use flowers in mine... all candles. And actually, for our outdoor party, I"ll probably get some citronella candles, double duty! But I think simple white daisies would look super cute as well.
While we're looking at the wedding centerpieces... thought I'd share a few more of the wedding pics.
This is why I miss living in Branson. Look at that view. Takes my breath away these days. I took it for granted for so long.
Me and the Mr. Man he looks good.
The wedding party... isn't the chapel adorable!! The girls got ready in the small building on the left... it was a GORGEOUS day, until we were supposed to head to the chapel for the wedding. Then for about 30 minutes, it POURED down rain! We rain to the chapel under umbrellas. There was awesome thunder echoing off of the lake throughout the ceremony. VERY dramatic. VERY movie-esque.
The sweet couple!! LOVE THEM!! Such a testimony of FAITH, God's TIMING, God's PROMISES and God's GOODNESS! Oh man oh man, does it make me excited to see what He is going to do next with them!
They probably don't love this photo, but I wanted you to see the front of the chapel. Gorgeous! Great view of the lake from the front windows. AND when it was raining, it was super cool looking! Maybe not what the original plans were, but I liked it.
And that was my fun wedding trip to Branson. Hubby and I met in Branson working at a summer camp. I lived there when we started dating, actually I was roommates with the bride in this wedding. So we have a TON of memories in Branson. BUT we haven't been back since we've been married. It was a great trip! We spent the car ride home considering how we can move back. Don't think it's going to happen, but Branson sure has a soft spot in our hearts.
