Earth and Budget Friendly Tip #1




On a budget these days? Looking for green decor options but want to stay friendly to your budget as well as the planet? For designs on a budget, use found containers for your flowers or other decor. Whether you use what you have at home or ask around from friends and family, you might be able to come up with a collection of vases or dishes that could work. Most florists or caterers would be willing to include those items in the day's festivities, as I did last year with Gorgeous and Green. Take a look:

We went with a cobalt blue glass theme, and incorporated used vases that I found on my end and that the bride and her family collected on their end. From round and tall, to small and narrow, the collection was varied but went together nicely.

And, after the event, they all went home with their original owners.
