What you'll make
Each centerpiece is a cluster of three pint mason jars, each with a lace band, a jute twine bow and a handful of baby's breath. The jars come out of a 12-pack and the trim costs pennies per jar, so the flowers are most of the bill. You can make all of them two days before the wedding and keep them in a cool room.
