New Zealand artist, Ashley Hilton, taught himself how to melt down and fabricate metal himself in order to manufacture his work in a way that is non destructive and sustainable. His work features many organic designs and is simple and elegant.

You’ll need coffee to go with the delicious cake you’ve picked out….Serve your guests an environmentally sound cup of organic coffee after the main course. Check out Rogers Gourmet Coffee & Tea Company. They have a wide variety of blends from all over the world, some as close as Central America. All of their products are grown organically and adhere to fair trade practices. I like Arthur’s Blend, which is a full-flavored blend of African, South American, and Central American beans. You can purchase a 2-pound bag for $16.99.
(That’s cheaper than starbucks and you’ll have left overs!)

It’s hard to believe it, but you’re looking at a windshield. It’s just amazing that something so beautiful could come from someone’s discarded trash…

The stylish design will look great as a base for small centerpieces at your reception, or even as a candy or condiment dish on a buffet table. When the wedding is over, pack them up and use them as trendy drinking glasses in your home. What a great way to get extra use out of that old car!
$22.00 for a set of 2 at Uncommon Goods

These come in many colors and several sizes and loads of accessories!  It is not really a vase and not really a box.  But they’re 100% recyclable so they are a perfect green option for your centerpieces or favors. Check out the photogallery of creative ideas on the blumebox website.
