vintage finds make a good eco theme

When choosing your decor, be open minded. You may find some unusual things that you would never have thought of using, but with a little imagination, they show themselves to be the perfect accessory.


These wooden spools that were used to spin silk in a previous life will add a touch of vintage charm to your wedding decor when some beeswax candles are added. 
Add some number cards to these vintage bobbins for table numbers.


Simply pick some wild flowers for these delightful glass jars tied with jute twine and your guests will be talking about your 'darling centerpieces' for years to come.

It just takes a little imagination but our favourite eco store has done the hard work by sourcing these vintage gems for you. Take a look at Biome's green wedding page for some truly inspirational vintage wedding decor ideas.

Recycled paper green wedding decorations


All images & designs in this post are copyright to Live & Lovely and can not be reproduced.

Introducing gorgeous recycled paper green wedding decorations by Live and Lovely Australia.  Live and Lovely offers a range of beautiful, quality products carefully selected to feature all natural ingredients, locally produced or featuring recycled or salvaged materials.

The decorations are made entirely out of salvaged materials (ie materials which would otherwise go to waste), primarily old magazines, newspapers, off cuts of pearl card, tulle scraps from wedding dress making, glass beads from old jewellery and even old sheet music. This means the decorations can be quite unique. They are completely handmade to order by local artists, making them sustainable from both an environmental and social point of view.

The range includes: Japanese style paper flower brooches that can also be used for table decorations, or made as hair clips, shoeclips, choker or wrist bands and is now also available as a bridal bouquet (together with salvaged glass beads!)
 
Paper cranes as individual table decorations or in a hanging string. Cranes are considered very auspicious in Japanese culture and paper cranes are often an integral part of wedding decoration. Our paper cranes are made from old magazines or old sheet music for 2 very different effects.

Card and tulle flowers on a string with glass beads. These romantic strings of decorations are a great alternative to balloons and look lovely blowing the breeze. For added effect, each flower can have special words or quotes or even your wedding vows added, and then hung in the breeze sending those messages to heaven, as Buddhist prayer flags are believed to do.

Visit Natural Weddings resource directory for more green wedding inspiration.
