But there is another, more sustainable way my friends! Use those boxes as a background for your menu list! Thanks God, the Internet is full of various tutorials how to print on wood. Huh, I didn’t say it’s an easy job, did I? And the best thing is that later you can just keep using the boxes in your storage room or garage.
2. Hanging light bulb vases
Even though LED and other modern types of lighting are in power at the moment, maybe you can still find some of those old fashioned light bulbs hidden somewhere. If you can, then you are really lucky. It’s amazing possibility to have some really charming decor items for your big day. You can use them as mini vases or even as mini terrariums by putting few succulents or tillandsias inside. And yes, it is really possible to open a light bulb without braking it. Actually, everything is possible…
