Liz's Mint-To-Be Bridal Shower Brunch - Part one: gorgeous diy centerpieces

Man, who doesn't love a mason jar? Am I right?!  Honestly, I was starting to get sick of them. I mean, I used them in our wedding decor almost three years ago! At that time they were just starting to be popular, and since then, the mason jar has exploded onto every decorating, eco-crafting, and diy scene out there. Here are two things I love about using mason jars.

1. You can pick them up used at garage sales, flea markets, and thrift stores on the cheap.  That's what we did to get some for our wedding; and I seriously love scouring for used pieces.
2. You can get away with using other jars similar in size and shape. I used about every brand of canning jar out there, plus other jars from spaghetti sauce, salsa, etc.  The best place to get sweet jars is Classico brand pasta sauce. They are a cool shape and are stamped with ATLAS MASON. So, so awesome.
