JOIN Facebook Group:  Charleston Weddings Recycled

At the end of a beautiful Lowndes Grove wedding, the bride came to me and said that she didn't want any of the centerpieces.  "Take it all - I don't want to deal with it."  Scanning the room all I could think of, "Is my car big enough to handle all of this?"  
The next morning, I unpacked my car and my living room was full of mason jars.  They were everywhere!  Close to 30 cases and I had no plans of doing any canning...I don't know how but maybe I should learn.  
I began doing calculations and approximately $450 + time + transport of mason jars were crowding my living room.  That is quite a bit to throw away for just one night.
Most brides dispose of their centerpieces or pack their items in a box that goes into storage after the celebration.  Vases, arbors, bows, card boxes, even dresses... you name it and it is either going to a landfill or into someones garage or closet.  
So after a glass of wine or two, I created the Facebook Group:  Charleston Weddings Recycled.  It is a place where brides can buy, sell, swap, trade with other brides their gently used ceremony and reception items.  Its a great place to find a deal!  
The group is growing quickly and all you have to do is find us on Facebook.  The more brides the merrier!!!
