It can be hard to know what to do with all your wedding decor after the big day is over. You can always try to sell things, but we like the idea of reusing your wedding supplies as fabulous and meaningful home decor! Here are some ideas for how to use popular wedding items in your home.

Chalkboards:

For the wedding: menu sign via Bride on a Budget

At home: entryway sign via Make Digital, shopping list via Blondie ‘N’ SC

Apothecary Jars:

For the wedding: candy buffet via Amy Atlas

At home: containers for bath essentials via Pottery Barn, storage for noodles via Apartment Therapy

Mason Jars:

For the wedding: vases via Elizabeth Anne Designs

At home: sewing kit via Martha Stewart, soap dispenser via Heather Bullard, gift jar via oh, hello friend

Vintage Keys:

For the wedding: seating chart via Oh Lovely Day

At home: DIY framed keys via Mamie Jane’s, hanging wall art via Pottery Barn

Vintage China:

For the wedding: place settings via Samantha Luck

At home: wall art via Entertaining with Style, clock via It’s a Jaime Thing

Bright and cheerful fabric:

For the wedding: hanging as a photobooth backdrop via Green Wedding Shoes

At home: table cloth and shower curtain via Anthropologie, DIY instructions for shower curtains here.

Hope this inspires you to put your wedding decor to good use after the wedding is over!

    I like the jar ideas, not that I have them from my wedding, I just love anything blue glass :) I put up a picture of my PB idea knock-off with a blue jar here: http://renaesadventures.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2010-03-19T17%3A10%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=7

    I love the plates over the bed--other than ours being a dark iron, it's the look I'm after for spring/summer. Excellent!!

    LOVE this post! Great ideas to a dilemma many of us face after the wedding. I know I have a vintage birdcage, tons of blue mason jars, and 100 crystal punch cups (that were used as votive holders) that I don't know what to do with but can't bring myself to part with!
