Yes! I love them all! There are so many ways to save and be eco-friendly in the wedding planning process. Here’s some of my favorite eye candy

I really like wheatgrass and you can read about how to grow your own centerpiece here (Link).

We will most definitely be having “alternative” centerpieces. I started with lemons and limes and have moved on to grass with flowers (like 1 or 3). I love them all and am so torn!
Wow, that last picture is unlike anything I’ve ever seen — very different! 
Ok, I may be missing something here, but how is having apples considered eco-friendly?
I am considering it! I think we are going to have lime slices in the ceterpieces for the green color splash!
Wheatgrass is the main component of our centerpieces. It’s so easy and inexpensive - and then I can feed it to the chickens after the wedding!
i thought of using bowls of different fruit at first.. and naming the tables after the fruit too.. but the groom wasn’t as keen.
@lou, apples could be considered eco-friendly because after the wedding they could be put to use (eaten) instead of thrown away. They are especially eco-friendly if they are local and/or organic. I’m not sure how flowers for center-pieces/bouquets are grown, but I’m guessing that most are conventionally grown with chemical pesticides/herbicides and are often flown long distances to that we can enjoy the out-of-season flowers that we love (NOT eco-friendly at all).
We are using pinneapples as our centerpieces. Locally grown, so we support the economy. And a tasty treat after the wedding!
I’m looking into grass and moss utilized in the centerpieces, so I can have a few (read: lower price) orchids.
That makes so much sense, even growing (not cut) flowers. Not just for being green — I felt so bad to see people cleaning up after my wedding and throwing out my flowers! I really hoped some would get taken home.
I love the idea of the fruit because it can be eaten but I am concerned with the “recyclable value.” A few months ago I saw a wedding where they planted their centerpieces in their garden after the wedding. I thought this was a great idea but we’ll be in an apartment so it won’t be too helpful. I like the fruit idea but most guests won’t be taking fruit back to their rooms. Anyone have good ideas that would work better for us?
I love wheatgrass! On of my best friends has painted little tin soup cans of different shapes and sizes and grew wheat grass in them. She tied ribbon on them and put them in groups of three down the table…they were the cutest centerpieces!
i like the look of limes/lemons floating in a jar, but I dunno yet if I will incorporate them!
I’m going to forward these to my SIL. She’s planning an eco-wedding, and I think these will be fab!
yes! since our colors are green and orange, there’ll be some limes and oranges floatin’ about!
We did wheat grass centerpieces and I LOVED them. Recaps are soon- I promise.
I love the poppies in the first photos! The cuts of meat on the cow card was a little different…
We are gluing paper flowers onto branches for ours.
Ha, never would have thought of using asparagus in a centerpiece. I really like all the wheatgrass options though!

Mrs. Poodle, Santiago, Chile/San Bernardino, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Industrial & Web Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Firefighter & Mountain Patrol Engagement Date: February 25, 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Mr. P's Grandparents’ Ranch About Me: I’m a Chilean girl who's crazy about nature and swimming. I enjoy carving, drawing, reading and sewing; I drool over computers, fabric, pretty paper, purple and patterns. To me, chocolate should be one of the seven wonders, right next to lemon pie. I never thought an exchange work experience program was going to change my life forever, but while working in California, I met Mr. Poodle, and ever since my days are better and brighter. We are two goofy souls that, after finding each other, couldn’t help but want to be together forever. It has being a long and sometimes hard road, since we have to deal with such a long distance between us, but we are now facing the last stage of our Fiancé Visa, and soon we will be together. You know the best part? We will be married! So I’ll be blogging from Chile until just a few months before our “green and purple” wedding.
