Mason jars come in all shapes and sizes which can be used to accent your wedding theme. Short, tall, skinny, patterned or just with the plain mason logo - there is something for all. While mason jars are stunning on their own, they can be dressed up and taken to even greater heights. For example, you could add twine, lace or even spray paint the jar's exterior to match your wedding theme.

Decor

1.   Flower Arrangements

Mason jars can add to the unforgettable and dreamy look and feel of any wedding. The most obvious use is that of a vase. A carefully designed flower arrangement in a mason jar can make the perfect centerpiece for the bridal table as well as the guests’ tables.

2.   Place Cards

The mini four ounce mason jars can be used to create unique place cards. For example, you could place the head of a rose into a mini mason jar with the name card wedged into the petals. Better still, the guests can keep their mason jars as a handy keepsake.

3.   Guest Favors

On that note, mason jars can be used to house or present the gifts for your guests. Whether it's a little scroll of paper with a thank you note and a chocolate or a small cactus for them to plant at home - the mason jar can be a fun way to thank guests. Plus they can repurpose the jars at home!

Food

7.   Hors d’oevres

Food can be presented in just about any kind of mason jar so you can really be creative here! Hors d'oeuvres can be served in the smaller jars while larger portions of salads, noodles, soups, desserts or mousses can be served in the bigger jars.

As with the colorful cocktails, mason jars are best used to show off fancy food with layers, such as a parfait.

9.   Stacked Snacks

But why serve food in a jar instead of a normal plate, you may ask? Mason jars allow you to create sturdy stacked pyramids which is particularly useful if you are serving your wedding food in a buffet or harvest table style.
