The Eco-Chic Couple
| Eco-Chic Couple |
Have you thought about the impact your wedding event will have on the environment and future generations? Why not consider reducing your “carbon footprint” -- you can help the environment and make a difference! Be a trendsetter! Be an Eco-Chic Couple! Hold your ceremony and reception in the same location to reduce travel. Use local and organically grown food & locally grown flowers. Recycle the packaging from your wedding. Use eco-friendly favors. Tree seedling and packets of flower seeds are great ideas and also can be used as decorations. Use recycled paper for all your stationary (invitations, programs, thank you notes, etc.) Include a note with your stationary to guests, making them aware of your use of recycled paper and products and ask them to recycle as well. After the reception donate your flowers used for decorations to nursing homes or another venue that would appreciate them for a few extra days while the flowers are fresh. Borrow your ideas from nature to create a theme for your wedding decorations. Shells, stones and other items found outdoors are just a few ideas. Frame your portraits in our eco friendly frames. One of the most important wedding choices will be a wedding dress. No matter what your budget, the wedding gown industry is offering more and more conscientious fashion options. When your big day is over consider donating your wedding dress to a charitable organization, the ultimate in recycling. Brides Against Breast Cancer sells once-worn gowns and uses the proceeds to grant wishes to breast cancer patients nationwide. |
