To Celebrate Earth Day, I thought it’d be a great time to explore all of the wonderful options for green weddings that I’ve been seeing on the web!
One thing I have learned this week is that green has come a long way….So many gorgeous ways to do the right thing.
Here are some of my favorites:
Make-Up
Sephora carries a beautiful collection by CARGO called Plantlove. It’s a brand that carries an ECOCERT natural designation for its commitment to the environment. From it’s natural and organic ingredients to its compostable packaging.
Décor/Favors/Wine-Spirits
BridalGuide.com has a great newsletter for Eco-friendly wedding products, including:
-Soy Candles, make a great eco-concious favor.
-Organic fair-trade chocolate bonbons are a delicious way to support socially focused businesses.
-Organic Wines from Spain – Everyone enjoys a nice glass of wine especially ones that are grown with your health in mind!
Gown
If you’re a green-minded girl, silk is a wonderful fabric to consider for your gown. Not only is it a renewable material, it looks and feels luxurious. Best of both worlds! Alfred Angelo’s Piccione collection offers brides a range of gorgeous bridal gown styles, all in silk. One of my favorites, style 410 will make any bride feel like a muse!
Venue
If you’re having a wedding of more than 100 people, consider having the wedding and reception at the same location. Not only will you save by combining both, but your 100+ guest will all lessen their carbon footprint as they walk from the ceremony to the reception! Outdoors or indoors, there are amazing choices available in your city. TheKnot.com and Brides.com are spot on resources.
So, go green, feel good, and look beautiful!
