introducing the wedding colors

rachel here (of course) ;)

you've seen it on pinterest. get yourself some mason jars (or any clear glass) and pour paint on the inside, manipulating it into a thin coat covering the entire thing. turn that bad boy upside down and let it dry.

so, i went to home depot and got sample cans of our wedding colors. this is the tale of how it went.

(not well.)

i poured paint into the bottom of the jar. it took more than i thought. then all the rest took less. (lesson kinda learned)

i swirled it around and then turned it over. i know you can't just turn them upside down flush with a surface and expect them to dry. without air, it's just one wet party. so i propped them up on the lids.

they looked great. not so much the next morning ...

they were still wet in the morning, but looked like crap. like rivers in dried mud or something.

so, i took a foam brush and painted the inside with a thin coat, also basically moving around the still wet paint.

i let that dry, right side up, over night.

and that worked.

introducing our wedding colors: peacock blue and warm caramel with accents of rich navy, pure purple and eloquent ivory.
