I believe we can all do a little more to help protect Mother Nature and keep this planet looking beautiful and that goes for wedding planning!  Ebs and I came together to come up with ideas to recycle items and make a wedding just a little more green.  And maybe even save you a little green too.  Today’s detail is…
Heirloom Quilt
This is all Ebs.  I love the idea of decor at your wedding that becomes an heirloom quilt for your future children.  Swoon right!?  I can image even having guests sign squares of fabric with well wishes for the new family.  It just doesn’t get any better.recycled details-wedding quiltrecycled details-flag garlenrecycled details-018recycled details-wedding quilt

Vintage Dress
A dress can say so many things.  It can be simple, lace, beaded or Vintage.  A dress worn by another beloved women that shares a story.  A story of love and commitment.  I adore the idea of taking a beloved wedding dress of your grandmother, mother or Aunt and making it your own.  Your dress can share a love story from over the generations.

Have you thought about wearing your mom’s wedding dress?  I did, until my loving father told me my mom looked WAY better in the dress.  haha!  Thanks Dad, I think I’ll find a new dress.

Books! Books! Books!
I love books.  The smell, the texture, the look.  Another item that with a little imagination can be transformed into a totally new use. recycled details-booksI love the old books with cute little illustrations.  Book pages can be used as a backdrop, aisle runner, table runner, fold them into pin wheels, or simply hang them one by one from the ceiling for a unique chandler.

Chalkboard Paint!
I LOVE chalkboard paint.  There are just so many things you can do with it!  It can transform just about anything into a writing surface.  And who doesn’t love that!?recycled details-chalkboard paintA simple rock becomes a name place card. recycled details-chalkboard paintEven bricks can be painted.  (I’m secretly wishing one of my couples uses bricks in their decor)  recycled details-chalkboard paintTerracotta pots work beautifully painted.  And it doubles as a keep sake.
And did you know you can paint glass?  I’ve done it and it works prefect for a big chalkboard frame!
If you can paint it then think of how it could be used with chalkboard paint.  I think I need to do a whole inspiration board for a wedding based on chalkboard paint…that’s how much I LOVE it!  Can you image a wedding with chalk details?  *swoon*

Dream BIG lovelies!
