In our off time, the team at Inspirations by Gina love to go to eclectic consignment stores and thrift shops to see what we can find for our clients. One of our favorite places to go is Urban Ore in Berkeley, CA. You never know what you might find there. Since repurposing and recycling is so cool and hip and at the same time helps out our beautiful planet and the fragile eco system, we thought you might like how various wagons are used.
It might be the fall in many parts of the country, but here in Northern California, we are having our usual Indian summer and the garden is still producing a bumper crop. Do you know that 90% of wedding favors are thrown out after the wedding? Why not be “green” and have favors for your guests that they can reuse? We love the idea of using herbs or succulents as favors. It adds a touch of greenery to the guest tables, make a great conversation piece and guests can take them home and plant them.

The weather is stormy outside and we love staying indoors this time of year and looking at cute DIY ideas for our clients. Why not give your guests plantable succulents! Succulents are easy plants to grow because they are drought resistant and can withstand colder climates better than some other plants. We like these easy DIY succulent wedding favors which can double as place cards too. The succulents were placed in tea cups that can be gathered from thrift stores, flea markets, garage and estate sales. The more you mismatch them, the better!

Here is another example of what you can do with succulents. They are great for decorating and the possibilites are endless. Check out these succulents in cigar boxes. What is there not to love about these?
