Chalk Painted Mason Jars!

I have been a very busy blogger here, this Spring! I LOVE it!  The weather has been nice enough for beautiful blooms galore everywhere you look, yet cool enough that it's not uncomfortable and still a good time to have projects to do inside. It really would be the best of both worlds, if we weren't in the worst drought in history, here, in Northern California.

I am often asked, for one occasion or another to make floral arrangements. Whether it be for a church function, holiday festivities or family event. I imagine you have seen some of my arrangements, here, by now. If not, where have you been? And, Welcome!

(Distressed with twine, just baby's breath)

I am very excited that my Nephew is getting married in July! His quite, smart and savvy fiance, is a Pinner, a Cook, and a DIY'er, too, and quite gifted! So, when I heard she wanted a budget-friendly, country shabby-chic-ish reception, I, of course, asked what I could do.

(This is a No-Bow with hydrangea greens and spray roses)

Her colors are Coral and Navy, which I had really not seen much of, I admit until I searched it on Pinterest, boy was I out of the loop!! It is, apparently, an extremely popular combination these days!

(this little pink tinted jar has an organza bow, no distressing on this one with spray roses and baby's breath)

Having tinted chalk paint before for events, I asked if she would like me to do some Mason Jars in her colors to which she graciously accepted my offer.  She was, also incorporating burlap into her theme, so twine tied around the neck of the jar was a natural fit for her coral, chalk-painted and distressed jars! 

Here they are! What do you think?

Sorry for the blur, but I was matching the coral to their Wedding invitations, that had not been sent out yet.  I think she is very happy with them! How nice for me to have some small part in their special day! I am tickled pink!

Pink.....pink, was the very next thing on my mind!  I had a few jars left over, of course, so I tinted some of my Behr Chalk Paint with Michael's Craftsmart pink paint. (just a couple drops was enough) Do you have a preference?

Plain Chalk painted...with distressing... with twine...organza bow or maybe just Baby's Breath? 

Lucky me! I was left with 3 beautiful arrangements and jars.

(Lightly distressed, no tie or bow, with greens and spray roses)

If you have a minute, would you leave me just a quick comment? Tell me which you like best? I would be very grateful for the input :)

I am making 10 more arrangements this Saturday night for a celebration, at my church, for our newly baptized.  I ABSOLUTELY love decorating for this event! It's always such an incredibly wonderful day to celebrate when people choose to walk with Christ in their life!

Thank you in advance for your help!
