The term “green wedding” refers to weddings that are more eco-friendly and eco-conscious. According to a survey conducted by David's Bridal in 2009 almost half (48%) of the brides surveyed stated that they were committed to going green, this included registering for eco-friendly products. The wedding industry has ebbed and flowed into a sleek and stylish way to leave a smaller footprint on the Earth while still having a glorious wedding.
Here are a few ideas to go green for your wedding:
- Use recycled paper for the invitations
- Soy candles can be used instead of beeswax. Soy candles burn longer, slower and emit less soot than paraffin candles.
- Use a vintage wedding dress or find a designer that is made of cotton, hemp, and other organic blends.
- Serve an organic and local menu.
- Local wildflowers will also be a beautiful addition to adding nature to your special day
