Here are five simple upcycling ideas to make your wedding decorations sustainable and special.

1. use jars and bottles as vases

Instead of buying new decorations, you can use old wine bottles, preserving jars or pretty glasses as vases. Decorated with a few flowers or candles, they will conjure up a wonderful atmosphere on your tables.

2. flower pots instead of cut flowers

Potted plants or herbs such as lavender, rosemary or mint are a sustainable alternative to classic flower arrangements. They look beautiful and can be taken home by guests after the wedding.

3. fabric garlands instead of balloons

Garlands made from fabric remnants are a long-lasting and reusable alternative to disposable decorations such as balloons or plastic ribbons. They can be easily sewn from old bed sheets or items of clothing and create a festive atmosphere.

4. reuse decorations after the wedding

Before the wedding, think about what will happen to the decorations after the ceremony. Give flowers to your guests, use the fairy lights for your balcony or donate leftover decorative elements.

With a few simple upcycling ideas, you can make your wedding sustainable without sacrificing style. Small details make all the difference and create an atmosphere that is not only beautiful, but also deliberately chosen.
