CREATE YOUR OWN GORGEOUS FRESH FLOWER ARRANGEMENT IN A JAM-JAR/VASE

jam jar (alt. a tapered vase)
/ˈdʒam dʒɑː/
a glass jar used to contain jam or other preserves
In this case, fresh flowers! Beautiful seasonal fresh flowers arranged in a jam jar. The flowers are designed to sit beautifully in the vase. 

Why a jam jar?
1. Flowers love water - designing flowers in water is the absolute best way to ensure their longest life possible. This is such a win. Plus, popping a little flower food in the water also increases their vase life.
2. Memories - I think we all remember these Agee or Perfit jars full of preserves or jams, homemade by our mothers or grandmothers, or aunties. They bring back the nostalgia of summer fruits and winter puddings, or lashings of jam on toast.
These jars are still around, and I love them.
3. No wasted packaging - I practice sustainable floristry. While I do use papers and ties for bouquets, I use products that can be recycled, reused, and/or biodegradable. But with jars, you can use them again and again and again. The Jam Jars come with their screwbands - a design feature - but which means you can even use it to make your own jam, or as a storage container with that retro-inspired look. (It does not come with the metal jar seal)
