POV: Your wedding was gorgeous! You spent months putting together the perfect centerpieces, and thoughtfully curated decor pieces throughout your venue.
After your wedding you take home all of your bins and boxes full of your wedding décor thinking “I might use these again” or “I’ll resell these on Facebook marketplace.”
Over the next few months this once beautiful collection of memories starts to take shape as “things you haven’t touched since your wedding.”
Your photographer shares your wedding gallery link, and you are over the moon with how wonderfully they captured your big day! You decide that having to take photos of items to post and manage the constant “is this item still available?’ messages on Fb marketplace is more work than you care for.
Entering the chat >>>>>>>> The Green Wedding Alliance Wedding Recyclery!
A large garage-sale-style marketplace that connects you with couples that are about to get married! This helps you create your DIY dreams on a budget. Find 12 bases for your centerpieces, votives, card boxes, table numbers, even wedding dresses!
The GWA created this event to help reduce the number of new purchases for wedding related items, keeping items in circulation so they can continue to be used for years to come and hopefully stay out of the waste stream.
Vendor tables are available for coouples looking to unload their gently loved decor and wedding related items, industry professionals with extra inventory, and florists doing some spring cleaning to make room in their shops.
You may walk in looking for nothing in particular and will likely walk out with some amazing finds at great prices!
