I have a long standing crush on mason jars.
And now no ordinary mason jar will do.
Meet my new love:
aqua blue mason jars
Be still my heart.
We used clear mason jars at my daughter’s wedding.
You probably remember that Mason Jars are my #1 go to item for event, holiday or party decorating and even for just around the house as a place to hold pens and other necessities.
Oh how fresh and beautiful aqua ones would be for memory jars, Easter decorating, wedding decor or any spring and summer event!
See more aqua jar inspiration at Classic Bride!
Oh, and if you are not a purist and want a DIY tip, look here on Bridal Buzz!
Um, yeah, so you might want to be careful with vintage class if you plan to drink out of it or place a candle in it. Just in case, be aware of this potential issue with vintage glass via Wedding Bee. Safety first, people. Safety first.
I just love colored glass, period!
So beautiful! I have a couple of old mason jars stashed away somewhere, you have inspired me to pull them out of hiding.

Found your post and had to laugh. At myself mostly. We went to our first auction this weekend and I bid on 6 aqua jar (3 without lids mind you). Lets just say I got a bit carried away and I was not losing my jars! I ended up paying $25 for them and I didn’t care. I had my beautiful jars, well they would be after a good washing, and they make me smile! I did some research when I got home. You can date the Ball jars by the way it is written.

I also love aqua mason jars and have been lucky enough to find some. I posted about them yesterday and included a very large vintage blue bottle, maybe an old wine jug, that I recently picked up. It goes so well with the aqua mason jars. They are more fragile than the clear glass in my experience, especially around the rims.

We drink out of our mason jars, because we go through our cups so fast! I’m also kicking myself for not snatching up the 6 blue jars at Goodwill a couple weeks ago. Aren’t they so versitile?
I love mason jars… I have a dozen that I use for our casual book club meetings.
I have those jars in my laundry room all lined up on a shelf with vintage buttons, notions etc inside. I LOVE mason jars! Mine have the metal lids with the glass inserts….just so lovely to look at! Your flowers look especially nice in your jar.
Have a blessed week.
Won’t you come join me for Treasures and Trinkets Thurday! You just link up something you love!
That’s such a beautiful color for a mason jar. I plan on using clear ones as centerpieces for my little sister’s baby shower.

Love using mason jars…! Would love to hear more about your daughter’s wedding. I have a couple of weddings to plan, in my future and I am looking for inspiration!
I adore the aqua mason jars as well – they are on my search list for thrift and antique stores. So far I haven’t found any, but I know I will get some one day. I love using them as vases as well.

Oooh, I love the aqua jars too, and have about eight so far. I’m always looking to add to my collection!

I love the aqua jars too, I have a lot of them in all different sizes. I can’t explain the joy they bring, such a simple thing but they do. I must say love glassware period. I used to think my Mom was crazy when she would get so excited over glass. But now I get it, we both get it!!

Ooooo – I am right there with ya, girl! I LOVE vintage aqua mason jars! Especially in a room of creamy whites~!
Love the aqua jars also. Have a couple that were family and other I found at a garage sale.
If you do want to use the antique ones for candles, they DO have the little flameless candles at the dollar store and places like that.
I’m looking for about 30 of the aqua coloured mason jars for our wedding next September. Does anyone know where I can buy/borrow some. We are located in Canada. I have a picture of what I would like. I believe they are the quart sized jars.
I used mason jars with flowers for my daughter’s lakeside summer wedding. They were beautiful and inexpensive!
You had me at “aqua mason jar”. There is a unique little place called “Klines Antiques” (my heaven on earth), off hwy 29 in Mt. Pleasant North Carolina that has an old barn stacked from floor to ceiling, with shelves of old glass jars!!
Oh, my! I know you’ve had this article posted here for some time but it is only this year that I’ve taken interest in these jars. Actually, I’ve been drooling over them for months but only got to purchase a few early this year. I had my cousin ship them to the Philippines and got so excited when they arrived.
I have to say they were worth the wait. They came in different sizes. With old, almost rusted, lids too! I felt all warm and tingly when I received them.
They are beautiful, aren’t they? Whoever thought of making them’s a genius!
Oh! I love the blue ones, too! I bought some at Goodwill and filled them halfway with white sand I got at Dollar Tree and also bought some short tapers (labeled Emergency Candles” also from Dollar Tree and placed them in two large metal candle holders (painted white) and then added sea glass (also from FD) around the bottom inside the large holders-perfect for my outdoor buffet on the backporch that was done in a beach theme! If I can, I will dig them back out and put a pic on my blog…
Would really like to try the Epsom Salt!
