DIY Mason Jar Table Decorations: Simple budget-friendly Spring centrepieces

Recently we celebrated my son's Christening, and held a lovely party afterwards - for which I spent a long time deciding on the decorations. I was on a tight budget, but still wanted to include some pretty centrepieces on each table in the hall. 

It can be quite expensive to style a large room for an event, balloon arches can look impressive but take a while to set up, and lots of fresh flowers can be expensive. 

So instead, I came up with a really simple idea for decorating each table, which involved some simple Spring flower arrangements. They added a rustic feel and were really quick and easy to put together. 

I was really pleased with how these looked, so thought I'd share for anyone also looking to decorate an event on a budget. 

How I made some simple Spring table decorations

Everything I bought: 

Set of 12 hexagonal jam jars - Hobbycraft, £10

Set of 6 glass bottles - Hobbycraft, £6

10m of blue gingham ribbon - Amazon, £3.29

Set of 10 wood slices - Hobbycraft, £20

Fresh flowers - I bought seven bunches of tulips and nine bunches of gypsophila from a supermarket

How I put the displays together

There’s not much to this to be honest, I simply tied the ribbon into small bows around each of the jars and bottles. I did this in the week before to save preparation time. 

Then the day before the christening I filled the jars with fresh flowers I bought from a supermarket. I then filled them with water, and you might like to refresh this the day of to keep them fresh, but it’s not essential.

I had a total of 18 vases of flowers, which I arranged on the tables in sets of three. Each trio of vases sat on top of a wood slice, which were only £2 each, so a real bargain. 

I love their rustic feel, very simple but effective, and complimented the blue bunting I strung up around the room. 

I was really pleased with how these turned out - a really simple table decoration which would work well for any party or event, even a wedding I think.

Oh and the best part? You get to take them all home afterwards! They’ll last nearly a week if you refresh the water every couple of days.
