One vase — so many wedding decorating ideas!
At Jean M, we’re all about giving you ideas and providing you with versatile items you can customize to your unique wedding look.
And talk about versatile — our flared vases are just waiting for you to add your creative touches and turn them into centerpieces, containers for your candy buffet, candle holders, dessert displays and more!
Need ideas? Check out these awesome options, start creating a custom look with our vases for your wedding!
1. The vases are available in two sizes. Arrange a small and a large vase with similar flowers or contents for added interest to your wedding decorations.
2. The vases are perfectly sized for holding memorial bouquets at your ceremony and reception. Tie the vases with ribbon personalized with “In Loving Memory” as a touching remembrance.
3,5,6,12. Fill the vases with items that coordinate with your wedding theme — fruit for a summer party, ornaments for a holiday celebration, moss-covered spheres for a garden theme or lush floral arrangements anytime of year. Add a ribbon in a coordinating color and table number card to each and your centerpieces will do double duty!
4,10. Prevent candles from blowing out during your outdoor celebration and during your indoor reception by placing them inside the vases. Put sand in the bottom of the vases to hold the candles stable and add in elements that coordinate with your theme, like nuts and leaves for fall or seashells for a beach wedding.
7. Colorful candies look gorgeous in the clear, glass vases and create a tempting candy buffet. Also use stemless goblets to old smaller items, and provide plenty of personalized bellaTINA envelopes for guests to fill with candies themselves.
8. Fill the vases with colorful items, tip them over and use them as cake stands for your dessert bar!
9. Instead of lighting a unity candle, use a vase to hold your blended sand during a unique sand ceremony.
11. Ask guests to write their wedding wishes down for you and place them in a vase — it’s a fun and interactive alternative to a guest book.
Enjoy!

The best way to end your wedding reception
You've surely thought of every detail to make your wedding reception perfect: the décor, the food, the beverages, the cakes the favors, the dance music.
But have you thought about how your reception should END? Remember, a well-planned event doesn't just fizzle out and cause guests to wander out aimlessly. It leaves guests delighted with one last surprise that causes them to remember your wedding forever.
How do you do it? Delight guests by setting up a coffee or hot chocolate bar just as the dance is ending! They'll love the little treat to refresh themselves after kicking up their heels, and they'll relish devouring the treats on the way home.
Have a selection of gourmet coffees and hot chocolates ready for guests to pour into take-away cups, and arrange donuts and bagels on pretty silver trays or in vases for guests to help themselves to. Don't forget to order personalized napkins and cellophane bags or favor bags for guests to use when serving themselves. Add printed menu cards to encourage guests to enjoy! Or, you could package donuts or bagels and a hot chocolate or coffee packet in a cellophane bag, add a personalized seal and a ribbon, and send guests off with a sweet treat they can enjoy in the morning.

Who knew purple could be such a versatile wedding color?
Purple, a color once reserved only for royalty, is making a big comeback for 2011 weddings. What makes this hue fresh and new for the beginning of the new decade? The way it’s being used in combination with other colors!
We’ve created three different looks to mix and match with purple, and have suggested the Jean M paper and ribbon colors that will help you coordinate your wedding from invitations through to the reception. Check out these ideas for taking purple to a whole new level of regal!
Play up the boldness of purple by adding in another hot shade like pink. Choose brightly colored linens and flowers to add a splash throughout your wedding, and even ask your event to use colorful bulbs in their spotlights to create a dreamy purple glow.
Jean M papers: Princess Pink, Fuchsia, Orchid
Jean M ribbons: Grape, Fuchsia, Amethyst
Paired with silver, purple becomes demure and delicate and sweet. Add layers of sheer silver over your purple table linens for softness and pull in softer shades of the color, like orchid and lilac. Choose flowers and accents in silvery shades of purple and grey to pull your look together – and don’t be afraid of adding in sparkle!
Jean M papers: Orchid, Platinum Shimmer, Stainless, Pewter
Jean M ribbons: Grape, Orchid, Platinum, Pewter
Play up the fact that purple is closely related to blue by combining the two for a rich and unique look! Candles, flowers, table linens and even bridesmaids’ dresses will benefit from such a union.
Jean M papers: Orchid, Midnight
Jean M ribbons: Midnight, Grape

Everyone’s “thinking pink” for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Everyone from celebrities to football players (did you see the pink shoes and uniform accents at the game last weekend?) are showing their true colors in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And we’re joining in the cause by offering you great ideas for incorporating meaningful touches of pink into your wedding.
1. Tell guests that you’ve donated to the cause in their names — during your October wedding or anytime of year — with pink enclosure cards printed with wording letting them know about your kind act. Add a pink ribbon and a sparkling accent to add pizzazz to the cards.
2. Any of our enclosure cards may be printed with wording letting guests know you have made a donation to charity in their names in lieu of giving them favors.
3. Give guests a little something sweet along with a note about your donation. Use pink favor bags, tuck in your treat, add a printed sticker and tie with a bright pink ribbon for a look that’s both festive and meaningful.
4. If white is your wedding color, choose white enclosure cards printed in pink ink with your donation information, then add a light pink ribbon and a pretty charm.

How to create winter wedding centerpieces that “Wow!”
We
love knowing what brides are planning for their weddings, and we love helping
them create the weddings of their dreams! So when a bride recently came to us
for advice about centerpieces for her winter wedding — her colors are blue and
espresso — we jumped at the chance to give her creative ideas.
We
fell in love with the idea of using non-traditional colors for a winter
wedding. Everyone sees plenty of red and green during the holidays, right? A
color scheme of deep brown and shades of blue is perfect for adding unique
warmth and unforgettable sparkle to a wedding in the chilly months.
Here’s
what we came up with for tablescapes that will welcome and WOW guests at a
winter wedding. Each uses the same elements in slightly different ways. You can
use the same centerpiece look for each table, but we suggest using all four all
looks and spreading them out over your tables to create variety and visual interest.
Look #1
For
this spectacular centerpiece, we used a traditional evergreen wreath base, then
added metallic gold branches, gold-tipped pinecones and leaves to bring in the
brown tones, strands of metallic blue beads and copper ribbon for variety. In the
center is our flared vase
filled with various styles and shades of blue ornaments and beads. Encourage
each guest to take home an ornament as a favor when the reception is over!
Complete the table’s look with blue place cards,
espresso napkins and espresso
favor boxes at each place
setting.
Look #2
Use
the same vase filled
with ornaments and beads in the center of the table, and surround it with square
votive holders filled with
blue beads or sand —
you can’t have enough candlelight at a winter wedding!
Look #3
A
simple, shimmering espresso candle in the same flared vase will create a clean, but still elegant, centerpiece. Tie espresso and blue ribbons around the vase to tie in your
colors.
Look #4
Create
a favor display that doubles as a centerpiece! Our espresso favor boxes
tied with blue ribbon can
be stacked in a fun pyramid shape guests will love looking at…and love opening
even more. Set the favors on a square mirror in the center of the table and add a few ornaments around the arrangement to
bring in the blue and some sparkle.
Then,
get ready to celebrate your winter wedding with your guests in a unique way!
Enjoy
