Want to give your wedding decor a second life? Want to make your upcoming wedding eco-friendly?
Then this is the event for you!
Your wedding was gorgeous, and you spent months putting together the perfect centerpieces, etc. After your wedding, you likely took home your bins and boxes full of your wedding decor and thought how beautiful these mementos are, and “I may use this again,” or “I want to hold on to these things to remember the day.”
These feelings then start to fade, and this once beautiful pile of memories starts to take shape as “things you haven’t touched since your wedding.” By now, you’ve probably been gushing over your photographer’s photos and realized you have plenty of great images that capture your wedding day so perfectly.
Or perhaps you’re just starting to plan your wedding and are looking for unique DIY touches, fashion accessories, or other items – and hoping to save some cash while doing so! Put an eco-friendly touch to your wedding by repurposing wedding decor that someone else has loved and used.
it doesn’t stop there
