Re: Cant decide which looks better HELP!!!
Also, I can't tell if the white candles are real or not. I'm definitely not a fan of the yellow candles, but real candles are going to have better ambiance than LED. Fire safety sometimes makes that decision for you, but if real candles are part of the equation, I prefer that look.
The flowers in the middle with two small lights on the side would make a great focal point.
Our cocktail hour/reception was 6 hours and they lasted the entire time!

Although I am so over mason jars and I think they will be very cliche in a few years, so I would avoid them altogether and go more classic.
Ah yes, I wish for simpler times when you used the jars for canning lol
We can, and will, comment on whatever we want. Whether you agree is moot. Lots of posts here evolve into different conversations and when you're going to make a ton of posts regarding little details of your wedding, you;re going to get opinions you might not like.
And FWIW, add me to the list of people who are over the mason jars. They're going to be the puffy sleeve equivalent of this generation.
Look - you came to a public forum and have solicited advice for the past month. You don't get to dictate my opinion just as I don't get to dictate yours.
I'm sorry about your uncle passing away, but again, I think mason jars are overdone. The same thing goes with Gatsby weddings, barn weddings, floral crowns, boho chic, and the list goes on. But that's my opinion and some of the ladies may like those things, which is okay! This is your wedding so do what you want.
I've gained so much knowledge from this group. I lurked for a long time before I solicited advice. Some ideas I had were good, others not so much. But being defensive and condescending is not the way to make friends. Especially since you seem to be asking a ton of questions and asking for lots of opinions.
You also have to understand that other people are lurking and reading the conversations and they may change their minds based on conversations between forum members.
Have a nice day!
I am sorry to hear about your Uncle but I wonder if your "idea" to use the mason jars comes from the over-saturation of mason jars at weddings rather than from his love of mason jars.
Unless he was someone who canned a lot of preserves and gave them to family and friends, no one at your wedding is likely to know the connection and will assume you are having another mason jar/burlap wedding. Which if that's cool with you, great!
Although (and I hesitate to suggest this, lest you get more defensive), I would find another way of honoring him (like a note at the bottom of the program) because you risk your inherited mason jars never making it back to your house. We lost quite a few decorations in the shuffle and if these truly are inherited, I would be more careful with taking them to a place you may not get them back from.
All that aside, you did ask what looked better, and I said I don't like any of them because I don't like mason jars. That is an opinion that you are free to ignore. Have a nice day!
