Trappeur Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I wanted to get some opinions here on wedding labels I designed for a wedding rehearsal in a couple of weeks. The large quart size jar in the picture is getting a large 3" label which I will put on the back of the jar where there is no embossing. There is going to be only 1 large quart jar that she is going to use as a centerpiece for the table. The jar will have burlap around the neck as in picture with a sprig of eucalyptis or i was thinking maybe go with sweet annie instead.I don't know if black old timey lids would look better than the rust....I guess I'll have to just try them out and see for myself. Now 24 pint size canning jars (the one in the picture in the back) are going to be done up as the large one but a little different label. Here are the jars[/url Here is the smaller label for the pint jars Here is the large label for the quart size jar.Couple questions.....Should I find another birch tree? Does it look funny? I definitely want the birch tree in it.Now the date of the wedding...On the smaller label I have only numbers for the wedding date and on this one since I had so much more room on the label, I abbreviated November. Does that look funny? I personally think that instead of using the large canning jar for the centerpiece she should go with one of my really large crystal pieces that are triple wicked as that is so much more elegant. She was pretty stuck on the canning jar, but when I meet her this weekend, I'm going to bring over the crystal candle I made and see if I could change her mind. I was also thinking that maybe a beautiful wreath of some autumn look be placed around the candle so it sits in the middle. The wedding rehearsal will be held in a log home so I can understand why she wants to keep it more rustic and maybe more informal as the mother is the one who I have been working with and she is doing this as a surprize for her daughter. So what do you think? Suggestions? Thanks. Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldieMN Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Ok, as far as the beautiful wedding labels, I personally like the date on the second one even if you have to abbreviate November. I agree with you about the birch. Perhaps you could find something a little more realistic? Goldie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy63 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Trappeur, First of all, WOWZERS!! These are absolutely stunning! I can hardly get past looking at them to comment! First of all, most wedding items with dates have the date in all numbers (11-21-2015), just a thought. Secondly, those tops are perfect, looks very Fall-ish to me And on a down note, I don't really like THAT birch tree, but you are obviously a talented artist, so who am I to say? Bravo!

Belinda Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 They're both beyond gorgeous! I would have a very hard time making up my mind. I love the birch tree and the greenery in the first label too. I think I prefer the way November is abbreviated though. It just looks elegant to me. Either way, those are going to be so beautiful!

mamber1974 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I truly think you cannot go wrong with either label and the rust colored lids are perfect in my opinion. They are gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Ok, I changed the birch tree in the above label and found one that I love that has a heart in the tree like someone carved it out. So I put their initial in it.Actually I was given a photo below that I was asked to make a label out of it and I as much as I tried just could not do something that I could say I loved, so I came up with my own design which they loved. So do you all like this birch tree better? Here is what I was given to create a label from And here is the new label with a much better birch tree with initials carved into the tree.I do like Nov. abbreviated. It doesn't both me and like Belinda said, I think it is more elegant. Trappeur 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Thankyou everyone for all your input. I value everyone's opinion and I always weigh them. Nancy I'll put up a picture of the candles when done with a rust lid and black one and everyone can help me decide. I'm liking the rust I think too. Thanks.

earthfriendly Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Love your label Trappeur. Looking at it I was wondering how would the pine cone branch look in front of the limb instead of behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Hi Earth, Well, I thought the same thing and tried to put it in front but the the company I use had this design set up where I couldn't do what you said so I couldn't do anything about it. Good thinking! I tried.... Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLG Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Your labels are beautiful! I can't wait to see them on the candles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Well I ordered the labels 2 days ago and they will be here next week so I'm getting all the candles done now and I'll post a picture as soon as the labels come in. I need to get rust and black lids ordered from Filmore now, but I have a few of each so at least I can see which one I like....but Im pretty sure the rust will do it. Now I just have to decide if eucalyptis or sweet annie will be the best choice attached to the neck of the jars. I'll post a picture of that too and you all can help me decide....Thanks so much everyone! Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
