There are even environmentally driven brides who would rather purposely choose to really make their weddings green. And so, as the Earth is getting older and constantly requiring from us to become friendlier to it, we can really do something responsibly to contribute to this movement especially during weddings wherein we could impart also even a little awareness to our wedding guests. Some brides or couples would incorporate the green awareness to their wedding favors, to their food, or even to the bridal gown itself. 

With all these go green wedding hoopla, are you still out of ideas on how you can join the movement? Incorporate some of these amazing ideas which you can really make use of as decorations on your wedding reception or even other parties:

Newspaper Love. As useful as it is when it’s new, old newspapers are always playing significant roles when it comes to stuffing our fragile materials when we’re packing them or something. Old newspapers can also come out as very stylish adornments such as making them substitute for paper lanterns or pompoms. Newspapers can also become cool alternative for ribbons or confetti which is being adorned in the dance floor or the ones which are being thrown when the bride and the groom get out of the church or wedding venue right after the ceremony.

Old little Cans. Well those little cans for milk or preserved goods are not just containers of food; they can become stylish and pretty candleholders! And candleholders can make a very good wedding reception table centrepiece or wedding favors. You can do these can candleholders by yourself and you’ll be amazed at how pretty the outcome can be. Gather some used little cans and dry them up. After you have dried them, you can start to make holes all around it. Style these cans with the holes. You can put fun shapes with the holes or you can even put your and your husband-to-be’s initials using the holes. After that, paint the inside of the cans. You can choose colors according to your theme or anything which is cooler to you. Pink would be perfect. Put a candle inside it, and then voila, you now have a recycled candleholder!

Bottles and Mason Jars. Soft drink bottles or mason jars will be perfect as alternative wedding table vases. This would absolutely go well if you have a vintage theme for your wedding. Just tie some cute-colored ribbons around the neck of the bottles or jars to make them prettier and fill them with water. Put a flower arrangement in each vase alternative; put a something that’s pretty such as a patterned paper or placemat as the base of the vase. You can also stick some glitters all around your bottles or jars to make them prettier.
