Pasta jars and a closing down sale

As previously mentioned in this blog, my wedding colours were determined by what was available at my local Lincraft store when it was closing at the end on 2014. 

We also saved a lot of money by using old pasta sauce (and stir fry sauce) jars, glass jars found in dollar stores and from charity shops. The look I wanted was as though someone had gone for a walk through nature and picked some flowers to fill the jars. 

I sourced the flowers from a friend of a friend who owns A Floral Signature at Toukley. We spent $185 for all of our flowers and ended up with a stack of baby's breath, lisianthus, chrysanthemum, eucalypt, some hyacinth and a handful of roses. The flowers lasted for a week from when we picked them up and looked amazing in the glass jars. 

I could not be happier with the final result of our table  centrepieces, and I have already found a new home for all of the jars. Winning!
