Mason jars are inexpensive and so versatile. They can be painted, frosted, filled with lights and more. To really make a statement, hang them in large groups with twinkle lights. This is such a magical look, especially in a barn like setting.

Chandeliers are so elegant, especially when hung in groups over long tables. Keep your eye out at thrift stores, or flea markets for pretty chandeliers. They don’t all have to match, just be similar in size and shape. Plus, you can use tea lights or candles too.

This is such a glamorous DIY wedding filled with great ideas like the hanging string lights strung across the reception area. The mason jars and simple hydrangeas at each table are such a classic look. 

Lighted wood branches make a gorgeous backdrop, especially when paired with hanging mason jars and floral filled birdcages.

You can never have too many lights at a wedding. The mix of hanging Edison lights and string lights create an eclectic warm and welcoming look. And how fun is the basket of blankets to take off the chill?
