Go Vintage for Your Green Wedding

May 19th, 2009 @ 5:53 pm by Christina @ Intimate Weddings

Junkin’ is one of my favorite pastimes. I head out to resale shops once a week looking for vintage treasures. And now that garage sale season is heating up - look out!

I love the idea of giving used items a second life. Besides, I‘m the sentimental type and I love finding things that bring me back to my childhood. Over the years I’ve collected children’s books, toys (just the other day I got my hands on the original Fashion Plates for $3!), games, linens and cookware - all for nostalgia’s sake.

Resale shops and garage sales are also great places to shop for your wedding - especially if you are going for the shabby chic look. Online stores like Etsy and Ebay are also great sources of previously loved items.

And if you are looking for vintage or used wedding dresses and bridesmaids gowns - there are sites like Vintageous.

Let’s take a look at some of the wonderful ways you can have a green wedding with recycled items.
