Today we’ll show you how to make a mirrored vase that you can use on your reception tables to make a big impact. This is a very easy project: just five square mirror tiles, a hot glue gun, and a little bit of patience while you wait for the glue
to dry!
Instructions: Take the square mirror tiles and gently scrape off any stickers. Clean with windex or something similar. Turn the bottom tile upside down and holding another tile at 90 degrees, carefully hot glue along the edge and press the tiles together. Move onto the next side and glue the bottom and side edges. You might have to hold the tiles together for a couple of minutes so the glue can start to dry.
When the fifth tile
is in place, allow to dry for a couple of hours before using it. Remember that it will not be water tight so you will want to place a small plant pot or glass inside for fresh flower arrangements.
And voila! A stylish and elegant vase ready for use!

With
everyone still so focused on
vintage, we thought we’d bring you a different and modern look for your wedding flowers – mirrored vases. Mirrors add a glamorous touch to wedding decor. They reflect light from votives making the vases appear to sp
arkle and adding a warmth to the floral centerpiece. Mirrored vases look best with tightly packed, pave or modern styled flowers and work with any color scheme.

Are you
still looking for a cute and inexpensive escort card idea? We recently came upon this simple and original idea that uses seasonal fruits as place cards. Of course, you can use whichever fruits are in season (as long as they have a stem), but
for a fall wedding we recommend starting out with the most readily available- pears, figs or apples.
Using the templates linked below, attach these adorable flags to the stem of a fruit of your choice. The easiest way to adhere the two sides together is by using glue or double sided tape.
Template available for download: flags here and leaves here.

Side Chignon” width=”575″ height=”1458″ />
Step 1: Blow out hair with a round brush to add volume.
Step 2: Use a large barrel curling iron to create waves from the ears down.
Step 3: To build volume at the crown, tease hair gently with a fine tooth comb.
Step 4: Gather hair into a low ponytail, twisting hair along the nape of your neck as you go.
Step 5: When you get to your ear, twist the rest of your hair into curls and pin back over the twist.
Step 6: Spritz on some hairspray to hold strands in place, twisting and curling the whispy ends to add texture.

This lovely mason jar DIY is perfect for a vintage, rustic wedding and is so easy and inexpensive! All you need are an assortment of mason jars (which can be purchased from any hardware store), twine, ribbon or lace and glue.

Put a
small dot of glue where you’d like the twine to start and wait a few seconds for it to become tacky. Then take your length of twine and press it into the glue, holding it tightly while you wrap the first layer of twine. Be sure to wrap the twine over the glue point to hide it and anchor it in place.
Continue wrapping the twine in parallel lines around the vase until you reach your desired width and anchor with more glue at the bottom. Then to create the diagonal pattern, start wrapping the twine in a figure 8 pattern around the jar – up on one side, down on the other. When you have the look you want, finish up with another dab of glue. Then take your piece
of ribbon or lace and secure the twine by tying it tightly around both layers. Voila! A simple but different way to use mason jars at your wedding!
