Cherry Pie here, with another quick and easy project for you!

This time, the idea is to make life a little easier for your wedding party. They’ll probably be carrying around big bouquets of live flowers for most of the day and will want to set them down somewhere. Why not give them a special place to put their bouquets aside?

These mason jars will keep the bouquets upright, to prevent damage to the flowers, and will make it easy for the girls to find their own bouquets when they want them again. They can also keep the flowers alive longer if you put a little bit of water at the bottom of the jars.

I created the name tags by making a series of rectangles, typing my bridesmaids’ names inside the rectangles, and adding an embellishment to the end that would look like a hole-punch reinforcement. Then, I cut inside the lines of the rectangles and made a diagonal slice on each side to give the tags a “shipping tag” feel that matched our manila favor tags.

Then, I hole-punched the tags, looped jute twine (the same that was used for our photo line) through the holes, and tied the twine and tags around mason jars.

You can see all five of the jars for our bridesmaids laid out on packing material in the top photo above. These boxes have already been driven out east by my friend and coworker who is visiting family in North Dakota before our wedding. Bon Voyage, jars!

What are you doing to make life easier for your wedding party during your Big Day?
