These eco-friendly centerpieces were created for a luncheon event we did this past week.  Not only are they beautiful, but they display many eco-conscious aspects of how you can have beautiful centerpieces and be earth-friendly!

The box which is used as a planter for these succulents is actually made from re-claimed wood.  Following the reception, or luncheon guests were able to take these with them to be used for their own homes.  What a great favor to leave your guests with!

Succulents are not only fun and interesting, but they are also very drought tolerant, making them have low water requirements.  I love, love, love succulents, so this was just too fun to work on!

We actually added some live flowers to the finished product, which you don’t see below, but we used California grown flowers to add a “pop” of color to these centerpiece, which matched the table napkins.  Yes, flowers can be eco-friendly.  By purchasing locally grown or CA grown flowers, beings that we are in California, we eliminated the ecological footprint of shipping flowers in from other continents.

Draping string of pearls hung over the edge of the planters.  I think the combination of the natural wood with the succulents looked fantastic!

What do you think?  Do you think you’d opt for an eco-friendly centerpiece option after seeing these stylin’ designs?
