I really like this thoughtful detail from Cristin and Adam Siegel’s Chicago nuptials. Cristin tied handmade name tags around the tops of water-filled glass Ball mason jars to hold the bridal party’s bouquets during the reception. And aren’t the bridesmaid bouquets that feature orchids and fiddlehead ferns lovely?
Supplies:
- Thick paper in two colors (Cristin used solid and patterned natural shades for her fall nuptials)
- Rub on letters
- Ribbon
- Hole punch
- Glue stick or rubber cement
- Ball mason jars
- Pre-cut paper flowers (optional)
You should be able to find the supplies in the Joann.com scrapbooking section. Cut your paper into a tag shape. Cut narrow rectangles and glue them about 1/4th inch from the end. Position the rub-on letters and follow the directions to transfer them one-by-one onto the tags. Optionally add pre-made paper flowers.
Punch a large hole into the top of the tag, slip the ribbon through the hole, and wrap and tie the ribbon around the top of the jar.

Hello, I absolutely love this idea of using mason jars with name tags to hold the bridal party bouquets! It’s both functional and decorative! I hope it’s okay, I just couldn’t resist featuring them in my mason jar crafts round-up. You can see it here:

Hey Kathy! Love this post! I was going to pin the pic of the mason jars, but I wondered if I should link to the “original” post… I couldn’t make the “Adam and Cristin” link below work. Thanks for any info!! 🙂

Hi Kelly, that link was their wedding website. Cristin and Adam let me post the mason jars here, so it’s all good to link here. Enjoy!
