Most of the goodies that decorate my little cabin where used throughout my wedding for decor. I guess you can call it a type of "green" decorating.
Duel purpose, old thrifty junk that is like gold to me makes my home smile from door to door and window to window! :)
You might consider this when trying to think of ways to make your wedding unique in a new/old way. Or, when purchasing things to decorate your reception etc...you can then transfer them over to your new nest! Whether it be old books, bottles, frames or misc. items don't just use them for your wedding, bring them into your home afterwards. Then you not only have stylish, eclectic decor, you have the loving memories that will forever go with them!
