Greetings readers! We in the Northwest tend to be fairly eco-conscious. Why not bring that "green" spirit to your wedding too! When going 'green', one of the main things to consider is not wasting or throwing excessive amounts of things away afterward.
If you've been looking for some green wedding reception centerpiece ideas, here are several ideas that we've come up with:
- Use organic fruit in bowls or on tiered platters. Beautiful and dual-purpose! Decor & snacks!
- Grow your own flowers - cut them and fill vases.
- Float tealights & flower heads in large bowls partially filled with water and river rock. Always recycle metal tealight cups.
- Use tiered deserts on platters as decor. Once again, they'd be dual purpose.
- Use the glassware, wine or sparkling juice bottles, colored napkins, and simple tealight candles. Candle light and glassware can be quite elegant. Recycle empty bottles.
- Have baskets full of your guest favors as your centerpieces.
- Decorate your tables with potted plants, and then also use them as guest favors.
- Use shells, sand, driftwood, and other 'found' items, then return them to nature afterward.
- Use homemade or locally made candles with flower petals.
I'm sure some of you brides & grooms have some other great "green" ideas too. Please share!
