Reaching
this level of vintage perfection is hard. From the decor to the guests
attire, this at home wedding is the perfect example of someone knowing,
when it comes to vintage, it is all in the details.

The
beautiful photos of this wedding capture an exquisitely designed home
with well upholstered wingback chairs in modern prints, walls full of
vintage frames, and rustic touches of natural wood and antlers. The
bride and groom, the wedding party, and even the guests are wearing
vintage clothes making the event seem like a warm memory in a digital
frame. The house and wedding on their own look cozy and impeccably put
together, but the photos are truly spectacular.

My
personal favorite, the mason jar cups! Mason jars can be both useful
and a nice decorative elemnet. Using them to serve drinks is a smart
idea because once you have your drink in hand, you become part of the
vintage setting. They help set the mood giving your event a down-home
comfortable feeling.

Try This at Home:
want to try this awesome idea for your own wedding or even an end of
summer party? If you are like me and are already a mason jar fanatic,
then you know some of the coolest vintage jars are from companies like
Kerr, Ball, and Atlas. If you are looking for the real thing you will
be able to find them at vintage and antique stores, but if you are up
for it, try estate and garage sales for better prices, I have been able
to pick up large mixed batches for around $15. I try to do a little
pre-sale research online via craigslist; sometimes people will advertise
specific items for sale, like jars. If you have a larger event coming
up on the calender and need a lot of jars you can mix in less expensive
reproductions which will still give you the same warm vintage country
feel. I have seen reproductions at craft stores like
Michael's.
The key to using these fun jars as drink wear? Look for jars that
have the words "Wide Mouth Mason" on them. This means they have a
larger diameter at the top as opposed to regular mason jars that taper
in at the mouth. This makes them much easier to hold and drink from
because they resemble regular glasses.
Cheers!
