I wonder if anyone’s getting married today? I know getting married on 10.11.12 certainly helps with remembering our anniversary! And speaking of our wedding… as you know one of my favorite decorating themes is rustic luxe and it’s also a huge trend for parties. So break out the burlap and mason jars because here are some of my favorite rustic luxe party ideas.

I use kraft paper for all sorts of things but one of my favorites is for a table runner. Either decorate with dots and designs like below, or draw your own place settings, or label the name of the dish you’re serving. And best of all, easy clean up!

Mason jars are unavoidable these days. They are just too cute. Use them as drinking glasses, centerpieces, lighting fixtures, vases, or hostess gifts. Really anything goes.

Log slices aren’t just for lumberjacks anymore. We had one at every table at our wedding similar to the centerpiece below and also as a tier cupcake stand. I love the idea of reusing them as chargers or hot plates.

More party inspiration all week long! Stay tuned!
