Beautiful! I love all the design tips you included, including your choice of flowers and why they work well - and don't forget to keep your budget in mind!

My 2012 wedding was full of blue mason jar arrangements, and now that I'm growing my own, I still love them! Classic.

[@ellenfrostflowers]

I still love blue mason jars too! very classic!

Another great video full of information! I love your pacing, too. You keep it moving. :) I also LOVE how the arrangement looks beautiful every step of the way. Just when I think it looks fabulously done, you add another layer. Wow!

Love using dusty miller instead of eucalyptus in a natural looking arrangement.

Dusty miller is great! Especially for cool color palettes!

@@ellenfrostflowers I have a lot of mason jars but somehow the notion that it's passé has kept me away from arranging in them. I know it shouldn't. And your video inspired me to go ahead and use them! Love your flower arrangement videos using locally sourced flowers. Would love to learn how to get a longer vase life.

ANGLE ! Thanks Ellen , turned out beautiful!🌸

YES!!! Angling is the KEY! Hope the video was helpful!

Are you a fan of lazy susan turn tables or not? I'm arranging for a casual BBQ wedding this weekend with Mason jars and this video was very reassuring thank you! 💐

[@ellenfrostflowers]

I like the lazy susan but I feel like I use it more for footed vases and larger arrangements. Good luck with the BBQ wedding! What kinds of flowers are you using?

[@ElydiaSepulveda]

@@ellenfrostflowers Good to know just curious! Thank you so much, I'm in WA PNW so I still have porcelain ranunculus blooming well! I have fragrant sweet peas, sweet William, queen Anne lace chocolate mint and Veronica's. 🙃🥰

[@ellencr5995]

What a great instructional video! Thank you! Would you recommend an arrangement of this size as a centerpiece on a 72 inch round table? Or is it too small?

@@ellenfrostflowers Yes, but just recently. I’ve grown a lot of cut flowers this year but I’ve needed more help designing flower arrangements! I was very pleased with the arrangements I did today. I felt much more knowledgeable! And I was very pleased with the results! Thank you again!

[@kellythompson2267]

@@ellenfrostflowers Yes! I’ve just started!

[@gr8gardn]

Very nicely done and simply explained. All of the filler and flower shapes and sizes you used are in my field. There is tons of Variegated Solomon’s Seal which can sub for eucalyptus! I almost gave up on mason jars but I see now it was me, not the jars😂

[@ellenfrostflowers]

I hope you'll give them another try! The variegated Solomon's Seal is a favorite and for sure can be a sub this time of year!

So pretty and whimsical. Thank you for all of the design tips! How much would you charge for an arrangement like this?

[@ellenfrostflowers]

I just added the retail price to my Cost and Materials sheet. You can see how much it cost to make and how much I sell it for retail.

Do you leave the ring on the mason jar?

[@ellenfrostflowers]

Sometimes! it's a cute look! Usually I remove it and give the lids and rings away to canners in my neighborhood!

[@laurielasala-tuttle555]

Hi Ellen, thanks so much for educating us, such a great video!! I'll be making 14 mason jar flower centerpieces for a baby shower. I'm wondering if the quart size jars (that I need to purchase along with the flowers) are cost effective, or would 16 oz jars also look good. I do want them to look great, just not be to costly for a 3 hour celebration, as I'm purchasing so many other items. Thanks so much, Laurie 😊

[@ellenfrostflowers]

The first thing to consider is the size of the table, that will really determine what size centerpiece will be idea. There is not a lot of difference between a wide mouth quart and a wide mouth pint in terms of the number of stems you need. The difference really shows up when you're choosing a regular mouth jar (either quart or pint) to a wide mouth jar. If you want to go smaller, but still keep the height, try a regular mouth quart.

[@laurielasala-tuttle555]

@@ellenfrostflowers thanks for this information, I really appreciate your answer. 😊

[@citymousestudio]

I saw your cost breakdown thanks - did you mention how much you would charge for it?

[@ellenfrostflowers]

I'll add it in! great idea!

[@prairie2gem]

New to your channel, this is so helpful. I would like to understand your design process with height/length of each type of flower. The end design is beautiful, but how did you decide the height of larkspur, compared to the feverfew, etc? Is it by color? or full/airy-ness of the types? Thank you!

[@ellenfrostflowers]

Great question! I always let the line flowers (like larkspur, snaps, stock be taller so that you can see their line/shape. Things like feverfew are more like filler and I like to cut them shorter so they are more in the background. I like them as a backdrop to the focal flowers.

[@katebarrett1924]

Hey Ellen - what temperature of water do you use? I've heard hot, room temp -

[@ellenfrostflowers]

hi! For most arrangements I just do room temp water. If I'm trying get flowers to open faster like tulips or peonies, I might use warmer water.
