The mason jar used to be popular only with the canning community. Gardeners would buy them in all sizes and preserve their fresh veggies as the produce was gathered in summer.
Suddenly this little jar is most popular with the couple planning a wedding with a rustic, country theme. The short, stocky, glass jars are used as centerpiece holders that contain flowers of all types. They are wrapped in burlap and tied with twine or jute. It's popular to hang them from posts, fences or trees as well.
Designers at the Zazzle site have also used the mason jar as a featured image for wedding invitations, shower invitations and much more.

I loved the look of these jars and in fact i have quite surprised by seeing the creative ways people are using these jars in their wedding. Pinning it to my board.
Mason jars are so versatile, I can see them used at wedding showers in a number of ways. I like that recipe idea. In fact guests could bring their favorite recipes in a jar for the bride - then she could use it (the jar) on the wedding day.
Some people also use Mason jars as bridal shower favors. We went to one and the bride's favorite recipe was included in a jar.
Incredible how many uses people find for mason jars. :)
I love the idea of including a mason jar for wedding decorations and invitations. They certainly can be 'dressed' up in a variety of ways and look so beautiful with colorful flowers.
I also drink from a mason jar. Cool summer drinks just seem look prettier in them.
Nice article. People are more reuse-minded nowadays. My teenage daughter likes to drink her coffee from a mason jar. It works better than a travel mug.
I agree, these are clever designs which would go well in any country kitchen.
Very cute! Those could evolve into more versions, perhaps as labels for someone's home canned goodies.
Thanks Brenda!
