Going Vintage...
Give your reception tables a bit of character (and be eco-friendly at the same time) by using vintage containers for your centerpieces. You can pick up a variety of vintage containers at your local thrift store, flea market, swap meet, or antique store. Your vintage containers don’t even need to be the same or match – you can dress them up with ribbons, paint them, or stylize them in another way to match your wedding colors and theme. Be creative with how you fill your containers as well – you don’t have to only use flowers. If you obtain a shallow container, consider adding floating candles in or river rocks with tea lights nested in with the rocks.

Other places to look for vintage containers would be online in such places as Esty.com or eBay.com.

Plant and Tree Rentals...
Instead of using cut flowers for your ceremony and reception, an alternative is to use live plants and trees to decorate with. These are environment and green friendly since the plants and trees are not cut down for your wedding and are only rented out for special occasions. You can decorate the trees with twinkle lights or wrap them in pretty ribbons and even use them for the archway during your wedding ceremony.
