Do the Bride a Favor Gives Tips for a ‘Green’ Wedding
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 10, 2013 -- Weddings can be one of the most wasteful events of one’s life. With paper products galore, plastic trash, and a one-time-wear dress, it’s no wonder eco-conscious brides are looking to give their weddings a green make-over. PoughkeepsieJournal.com published an article entitled “Green Wedding” on June 29, 2013, and Do the Bride a Favor is taking this article as inspiration to give brides and party planners ideas on how to create an eco-friendly wedding.
When planning a green wedding, research the products involved in a wedding, and choose aspects to make them over from mean to green. One of the largest polluters in the world is mining, so opting for a sustainable wedding jewelry set is important. Another large polluter is the amount of refuse that’s unable to be recycled or is non-biodegradable. When searching for favor ideas, lean towards products that have no wrapping, and will not get sticky or melt in heat. While edibles may be nice, one can also choose seed paper favors, or small potted plants in peat moss containers.
Choose chairs and other items that can be re-used. Let the bridesmaids and the groomsmen choose outfits that fit within a color palette, but are able to be worn again by the bridal party at future events. Purchasing a vintage or used gown is another wonderful way for a bride to go green for her wedding. After wearing it, the bride can re-sell the gown or donate it to a charity.
Lastly, nix the paper products. Opt for electronic invites and RSVPs, and call relatives that don’t have social media accounts. On the invitation page, note that the event is going to be eco-friendly. Opt for real flatware and plates at the reception, along with reusable décor.
Do the Bride a Favor gives brides and party planners tips to creating an eco-friendly wedding that retains class and style by purchasing sustainable jewelry, having the bridal party wear clothes they can use in the future, and using as little paper as possible.
