{The beginnings of my amber and brown glass bottle collection.}
Before I was engaged I collected mason jars like it was my job. They are multi-purpose and thought I could easily work them into my future DIY wedding. Turns out so did everyone else. Now it is my mission to not use a single mason jar on that day. Hard task. I started to think about how else to make unique table center pieces without breaking the bank. Not only are there not the funds to have a florist do the tables, but it isn't really my style anyways. I like an eclectic, vintage, piece-y look. So I started collecting brown and amber glass thinking it may look good with some pink anemones and white ranunculus and maybe some succulents in vintage brass goblets. (Throw in some horseshoes on the table too)
Only thing, it was all in my head and I had never seen it played out.
UNTIL I saw this wedding on Style Me Pretty.

Um, HI. Hello. This is totally what I was envisioning!
I urge you to enlarge that picture, by the way.
And then I sort of started to see it everywhere...

Too late. No turning back now!

Yesss, definitely do it, that looks great!
Ohhh this is so unique and refreshing! Looks like you have made quite a dent in your collection already!
Awesome! Love the look.
I just nixed mason jars from my wedding too. Too pricey, too overplayed, etc. I'm on the hunt on ebay for everything from glass to milk glass, to anything else that catches my eye!
your a collection fiend..in a good way.
Beautiful idea, it will be gorgeous!
