Sometimes it feels like wedding decor are full of one-use items. Try thinking eco-friendly and it can not only help the environment but also help your wallet! Here are some ideas we've tried/seen:
- Use potted plants or a cluster of smaller potted plants as centerpieces. These can be given to guests and can be planted in the ground or kept as potted plants for years to come.
- Reuse whatever decor items you can from the wedding for the day-after get-togethers. Floral arrangements can definitely be kept in good shape overnight.
- Reuse ceremony decorations at the reception. I've used chair posies from the ceremony and rearranged them to decorate the bars, escort card tables, bathrooms, etc.
- Especially in the fall, I love to do a farmers market food station where the chef would serve whatever vegetables were in season from local farms. We've done this a few times and we acknowledge such either on a menu card or on little signs by the stations. Local farms = less transportation.
- How about supporting the local economies by serving Maryland or Virginia wines?
