    Our wedding isn't very eco friendly, but we are re using our ceremony flowers for our reception. Our wedding favours are useful.

    I really like the idea... our wedding won't be eco-friendly but we're definitely going to try to reuse as many things as possible to not waste too much money. i'll also look into using local flowers and with my bridesmaids, i want them to choose their own dresses so they can wear them on other occasions too Smiley winking
