{Guest Post from Eco and Elsie} Upcycling Old Items into New Ones for Your Wedding or Event.
Thank you to the Eco-Beautiful Weddings Team for allowing me to be a guest blogger for the next few days! I’m excited to share with you some fun, eco-friendly ideas and if you like what you see, feel free to join me at Eco and Elsie, my own blog about earth friendly weddings, life, and marriage.
As an eco-friendly gal, I am always looking for ways to re-purpose things around my house. I actually have a problem hoarding small glass jars - pickle jars, olive jars, jelly jars, you name it - because I find them so cute and I just know I can find a new use for them. I usually end up with a massive collection of tiny jars and I think my husband secretly recycles a few every now and then just to get them out of the way, but anyway, I digress. On to the good stuff! This post is all about taking everyday items and finding not-so-typical uses for them in your wedding or event. I hope you enjoy!
A little DIY never hurt anyone.
Here you can learn how to take an old crate or wire basket
and turn it into a rustic card box.

Fair Trade Linens
Buying fair trade products is something we always push here. So many brides and grooms are purchasing items for their bridesmaids and groomsmen along with decor items. We love Dolma Fair Trade Handmade items - like these shawls and linens.
Tell us what you are buying that is fair trade for your wedding!

Vineyard Wedding Inspiration
Whether you are getting married on a vineyard or in a hotel - you can have grapes as your natural inspiration for any wedding. There are vineyards all over the world and if your wedding is nearby - chances are you can use grapes for just about any part of your decor. Bring the outdoors inside with grapes in your floral designs, favors, cuisine and more! Buy your grapes locally to keep your carbon footprint low for eco-beautiful flair!
