Something Blue

I’ve been working on a blue wedding. Blue is not a color I gravitate to with flowers (I love mauves, bronzes, greens and browns). I found some blue hydrangea and tweedia today that were lovely and not so acidic…here are some pictures of the results.

The bride I’m working on this with collected apocathary bottles and canning jars that will serve as all the containers. That means I can avoid buying new glassware that is imported from China…the less of that stuff I use, the less cardboard I have to break down at the end of the week. The less I have to endure Eric’s pickup breakdance competitions.

i love the bottle look. i, too, used vintage medicine bottles for the center pieces at my wedding…
ebay was the way to go! i got about 100 for $80 including shipping; i think i was just lucky that one seller was selling so many!

Love the bottles in the cupboard next to the vintage typewriter – not a combo I would’ve thought of, but it looks so beautiful!

Having seen this bottle idea here a few weeks back, I’ve added it to my list of plans for my wedding: using old jam jars or bottles as holders for simple posies. Perfect!

I am with you on “blue” as a colour theme. But this looks absolutely gorgeous ! x
