Green Wedding
How do you feel about the environment and living
green? Why not have an all-natural, eco-friendly wedding! Green weddings
are actually some of the most beautiful weddings around, not only is
having a Green Wedding is great for the environment but the wedding is
very unique from all the others. When planning a Green Wedding there are
three things to keep in mind; Reduce, reuse and recycle! It's just
natural for it to be stylish.
Obviously when it comes to the food, it will be organic or fair trade.
That's just a given. Try even serving berry pies with organic berries
rather than a wedding cake. A great drink to serve is biodynamically
farmed wines. Also, donating leftovers is very popular because you are
not letting any food go to waste. A great idea for invitations is to use
recycled materials or even email. It still get the job done, but in an
environmentally friendly way. There are several materials that can be
used for confetti. The first is biodegradable confetti also known as
ecofetti or flower pedals which is actually very traditional itself.
When it comes to kitchenware, use eco-friendly products. You can even
use compostable cutlery. It's made from non GMO corn starch and can
literally be thrown into your home compost pile. The wardrobe in the
wedding is always very difficult to decide on. In a green wedding,
clothes should be rented so they keep on being re-used. If you know you
are going to wear the outfit more than once, then it is safe to buy it
because it will not go to waste. Or you can look for Hemp gowns or
clothes made with organic cotton. Many women are interested to recycle
their wedding dress. You can visit nearlynewbridal.com to buy or sell
used wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, tuxedos, flower girl dresses,
etc. Hold the wedding ceremony locally.
You will spend less on traveling and also save on gas. Car pooling is a
great idea; this saves a huge amount on gas, especially if you're
planning a large wedding. This will keep for a healthier environment and
will reduce the amount of pollution being put into the air. At the
dinner table, rather than using regular paper napkins use rice paper
napkins. When it comes to decorating, hemp draping should be included.
Now listen to this, a new product has come to the market in candles. In
your green wedding be sure to use Soy Candles. They are made from
renewable crops and burn cleaner and 30% longer than paraffin candles,
and they contain 100% biodegradable materials. Great additions to center
pieces are milk soaps. They are hypoallergenic and are made from all
natural ingredients which make them great for the skin! Another idea for
all natural center pieces is herbs and natural spices. They would look
stunning in small crystal glasses tied in neat ribbon for decoration. A
common center piece is small jars of honey stack in several patterns on
the table. Each guest is able to take one home with them as a gift from
the newly weds. Another great idea for gifts to the guests are all
natural lip bombs made from all natural ingredients.
