Beach Wedding Mason Jar Centerpieces

There comes a time in every bride-to-be's planning when she just says, "Oh forget it. I don't even care anymore." And whatever task was happening right before that statement, it gets done in the easiest way possible.

For me, it was the menus. We had a handful of days until the wedding and I just couldn't deal with them anymore. The design wasn't coming out the way I wanted, I had no desire to actually order them, and my lack of color ink meant they were going to be black and white. "Oh forget it," I said on the wrong side of 6am. "I don't even care anymore." I finished them quickly, printed them on printer paper, and that was that. They actually came out beautifully and I really liked them, so I'm glad I followed the path of least resistance that time.

If you're at that point with your beach wedding centerpieces, don't worry. I have a simple DIY tutorial for these really easy, but very pretty, mason jar centerpieces. You can put them all together in a handful of minutes and move on to the next task.

Are you planning your beach wedding but have NO IDEA what to do for centerpieces? Don't worry! These beach wedding mason jar centerpieces are the answer. Plus, they're PRETTY and EASY! Head to www.abrideonabudget.com for the tutorial.

Beach Wedding Mason Jar Centerpieces


What You'll Need:
  • Mason jars with handles
  • Tea lights
  • Sand (which you can get on the beach for free or you can buy here. Personally, I'm part of the "use the free sand on the beach" camp, but a lot of crafters worry about bugs being in the sand so they purchase craft sand. Follow your heart on that one.)
  • Seashells, optional (again, I'd go with free on the beach if you thought you needed them, which is what I actually did for ours, but you can buy them here)

What You'll Do:
  • Fill the mason jar with about an inch of sand.
  • Place the tea light in the middle.
  • You're done (unless you want to add a few shells around the tea light).

Seriously, it's one of the easiest mason jar centerpieces there is, especially if you buy the mason jars with handles. Those will come to you with handles that fit already on your mason jar. You don't have to worry about wire clippers and figuring out how to make a handle. Makes your life easier, plus the handle does make a big difference since these are already so simple. Make one for each table, plus an extra or two for your welcome table, and that's it. You can light the candle on your wedding day (or not; either way is pretty).
