String lights & mason jars - need opinions pls

Sarah, on August 8, 2019 at 17:30 Posted in DIY 0 11
Two decor questions:
1. We plan on using two lines of string lights to form an X above us at the reception. From balcony to balcony, it’s 31 feet. So I think we’ll need two boxes of like, 35 ft each? Anyone have any suggestions on where to get the lights? I’m looking at Canadian tire and I don’t even know if we should get Edison lights where you only get 10-15 lights per string (and they are expensive) or should we opt for Christmas style lights instead? I plan on wrapping fake garland around them so the type of lights won’t be super noticeable..

2. We are doing mason jars for centrepiece vases and I don’t know if we should get the 1L or if that’s too small and get the size up (I forget the exact size). Any recommendations?? The tables are 9x3 ft

    We did both 750mL and 1L for flowers. I'll see if I can dig up some photos of the end result.

    Also there is a larger size I’ve seen at Walmart. I can’t remember exactly but I think it was 1.5L

    Yes flowers for the mason jars. I think I will go with the 1L after all. Didn’t even think of Home Depot. Thank you!

    Soooo if you don’t find it awkward, you can buy the lights from Costco and then return then afterwards. That’s what our venue suggested to us at our last meeting 😂

    Yup, Amazon is the way to go. Keep your eyes open too on places like kijiji and second hand stuff from people who've had weddings already. I got some scores that way a couple of times!

    Amazon is pretty good for the lights or Home Depot has sales on them too. The mason jars found cheapest at walmart or at canadian tire. The 1L is the largest size and what did you plan on putting inside them? If you plan on flowers this would be the size you want, if you want just a candle do the size down

    I would get the string lights from Amazon! That’s the cheapest place I have found. I would go smaller with the mason jars. If you have flowers and all the plates etc, it gets pretty crazy on the tables
