It involves reusing or repurposing items you may have ordinarily put in the recycle bin or discarded, into something absolutely stunning – old sheets into colorful bunting, records as placeholders... you name it. See? It’s pocket-friendly and eco-friendly.

Definition
Upcycling means making new furniture, objects, etc. from old or used things.
Like we said earlier, there are lots of things you can upcycle. But, there’s one item that’ll surely have your guests with their bottles up.
This Beautiful Upcycled Idea Should Absolutely Be on Your Radar
We’ve seen upcycling wooden pallets to make gorgeous bars, wedding signs and photobooths. We’ve seen couples using upturned barrels as tables and tires for seats. And now, we’re giving you –drumroll please – upcycled bottles.
Those bottles leftover from your bridal shower and gathering dust in your cupboard can now be put to use. Beautiful use.
Spray Paint, glitter, stencil, or etch your way through your empty wine bottles to give that personalized touch to your wedding. Upcycled bottles can be used in a variety of ways; here are a few we totally adore.
These AWESOME UPCYCLED ideas will make you want to try it
1. Dashing Centerpieces
You can use them as eye-catching centerpieces filled with succulents or even dried floral arrangements for your sweetheart table. Or have the escort table adorned with a couple of them painted in metallic hues and announcing you and your partner’s new initials.Decorated bottles can also be used to display table numbers.
2. Candleholders
Go rustic with this classic idea. Ditch the candelabras and get brightly colored bottles instead. If you don’t want candles, you can break out last year’s battery-operated Christmas lights instead to wow your guests with an ethereal ambiance.
You could also go hard-core on the DIY and make your upcycled wine bottles into a chandelier; you may need a little help with this though.
