Tips or Trends Tuesday: Trend: The Repurposed Wedding

With the continued rise in Eco-consciousness and the DIY wedding movement, there is no greater marriage of the two than re-purposed wedding bits and bobs. Personally, I can’t get enough of it and in planning our own wedding, my fiance and me are making our fete beautiful, economical, AND earth friendly by re-purposing family heirlooms, thrift store finds, as well as handmade re-purposed items via sites like Etsy. Why fuel the use of dead dinosaurs and landfill fodder when with a bit of creativity, you can take what is already out there and glam it up?

This Etsy treasury is straight out of my favorites. This is pretty much a “Who’s Who” of my favorite shops. I can always count on these amazingly talented folk to have something that always puts a twinkle in my eye.
