Mason Jar Design
The shabby-chic look of the mason jar is one of the trendiest styles around right now. In this design we had some fun with a mason jar and some bright, girly, and vibrant flowers.
DETAILS
To start this design, use clear floral tape to make a grid across the top of your jar. This will keep the flowers securely in place and help them to maintain structure. Start with your tallest flower, in the example shown below, my tallest flower is stock. For this vertical centerpiece, three stems of stock are used in the middle for height and an even look all around. Next, add your focal flowers along the sides- I used hot pink Gerber daisies, can you say pizazz? Add the focal flowers at even increments along the outside edge of the container. Fill in the remaining empty holes in your grid with a neutral filler flower- I used small white chrysanthemums and wax flowers. To add a little more sparkle to this chic design, tie a ribbon or wire around the jar to bring a pop of color beneath the blooms.
CRITIQUE
The colors of this design are very attractive and harmonious to the eye. Any girl would drool over this hot pink and purple design. I like that it can be viewed from all angles, so that it could work as a centerpiece. In my design, the chrysanthemums get lost beneath the daisies. I would have preferred a smaller filler flower that could protrude out from under the daisies more elegantly.
