I love all things eco-friendly! So, imagine my delight when I came across these little gems… DIY terrariums. I definitely want to make one or two (or ten) for around the house but thought they would also be fabulous for an eco wedding.
Here are a few I fell in love with…
Cake Stand Terrarium
How gorgeous would this terrarium be as a wedding centerpiece. It’s simple and perfect just the way it is, but you could add ribbon, or jewels or place wedding inspired items inside to dress it up a bit.
I found this at Garden Rant. They didn’t have a tutorial but suggested you visit, The Wool Food Mama for one. I second that suggestion. Not only is the tutorial worth viewing but there is other terrarium inspo over there. Be sure to check it out!
Pickle Jar Terrarium
I LOVE pickles! Some may even consider me slightly addicted. So this is a must-make for me. Why not, I have all the ingredients right at home and if you know me, you know my motto… “If it’s free, it’s for me”!
Check out the simple instructions included in the photo, which I found at Poetic Home. For the full tutorial visit Wary Meyers’ site. While you are there be sure to look at all of the other ”tossed and found” designs. Excellent use of “trashed” items.
Salt and Pepper Terrarium
Are these not adorable? I think these would make super sweet wedding favors. They would look great sitting at each place setting and I just love the color of the marbles on top. Although, it may be easier for transport to keep the shaker top on, the marble gives it extra character.
I found the photo at Earth Friendly Weddings. They have other cute “baby” terrarium ideas so if you’re interested be sure to stop by their site.
Light Bulb Terrariums
Another fabulous favor idea! These may just be my favorites! I always appreciate a seating card that doubles as a favor. So of course, I fell instantly in love with these. I found these little cuties at A Subtle Revelry. Their tutorial is terrific and definitely a must-see.
And while we are talking light bulbs, I came across this too. Not quite a terrarium but super cool and just as cute.

I have always been a HUGE fan of Terraiums!! I never would have thought about the salt and pepper shakers!! Thanks for sharing!
