We sure are on an eco friendly, money saving mission at the minute, don’t you think?! We really feel passionately about reusing beautiful pieces where you can on your wedding day; it’s a great way to save money and add lots of personality to your nuptials.
Non-wedding shopping whilst planning your day is usually a big no-no, but we have come up with a clever way around the shopping ban! Why not purchase gorgeous pieces that can be used to decorate your wedding venue and following that, can be used in your new home? Here are ten of our favourite items that will add rustic charm and charisma to your marital home and wedding:
1. Zinc baskets from Rose & Grey. On your wedding day why not fill these with flip flops for your female guests to use when their feet can’t handle heels anymore? Back at home these baskets would look fab placed in your bathroom and filled with hand towels.
2. Antique glazed urn planters from OKA. Perfect to dress the doorway of both your home and your reception venue, just fill with pretty miniature trees. 
3. Talbot raw oak butler tray table from Cox & Cox. A perfect end table for your lounge or a pretty display area for your guest book at the wedding. 
4. A classic Irish lambswool throw from Foxford is ideal to cosy up the chill out area at your reception, and makes the best go-to lap blanket for those lazy nights on the sofa! 
5. Fairy lights! We don’t need to explain how good fairy lights are for weddings, but butterfly orchid fairy lights?! Whole. New. Love! Available from Graham & Green. 
6. Riata nautical lamp from Anthropologie. Amazing quirky little lamp to help light up your reception and a great addition to your nautical inspired guest bedroom for after your wedding.
7. How pretty are these Carolyn Donnelly designed cups and saucers? They would make such lovely table centrepieces when dressed with wildflowers. At home, get them out when your best girlfriends call for a gossip and coffee! Available from Dunnes Stores. 
8. Stack your themed cupcakes high on the unusual teacup and song bird inspired cake stand, available from Wedding In A Teacup. 
9. These fabric covered box files would make the perfect place to store your wedding cards, both on the day and long after. Available from Susie Watson Designs. 
10. Go one step further than the usual white table linen with this hessian table runner from Ginger Ray. You will also think of your day and smile every time you see it on your dining room table!
