Festive Mason Jar Ideas

Note: We know, we KNOW, ok? If you’re in the wedding industry, you realize that vendors often complain about past trends. One is the mason jar (and burlap and baby’s breath, but we digress).

However, the lowly vessel can create adorable, modern Christmas table decorations. Promise! Just take a peek at these and see.

4. DIY Christmas Candles

The holidays are the perfect time of year to use mason jars, as our next few projects will showcase. These simple Christmas table decorations will add light and color to your wedding reception tables.

Okay, this may be a favorite! How adorable is this? And the vintage feel is just perfect. A Christmas card has turned an antique mason jar into a cute snow globe. Such a sweet little decor item!

6. Cranberry Centerpiece

You need only fake snow, fresh greens, cranberries, and a battery-powered tea light. You can turn mason jars into adorable Christmas table centerpieces that would look cute on your reception tables or in your home.

7. Floating Candle

Building on the cranberry and mason jar idea, these floating candle Christmas table centerpieces are unique and fairly economical. Use foraged items, water, cranberries, and a tealight to transform mason jars into adorable DIY Christmas centerpieces.
