The Eco-Friendly Wedding
Simple Steps Towards An Eco-Conscious Wedding
Regardless of the size of your wedding, it will still have some impact on the environment. However, there are small steps you can take towards making your special day a little greener. From eco-conscious wedding items to ideas that promote a worthy cause, we have a few suggestions on how to make your wedding day a little more eco-friendly.
But why stop with the wedding? Visit Planet Green to create a green gift guide for family and friends, with ideas foreco-friendly tableware, linens and home accessories.
The Green Wedding Dress
Synthetic wedding gowns are heavy, warm, and environmentally unfriendly. Cotton is a natural fiber that breathes well, is easy to wear and offers some of the lightest, luxurious fabrics available. With its variety of textures, the design possibilities are endless.
Makeup Au Naturale
We all want to look beautiful on our wedding day, but at what cost? Conventional makeup contains potentially toxic chemicals that are introduced to your skin and into our water supply when washed off; as a result, they are not only damaging to your skin, but also harmful to the environment.
Eco- Friendly Wedding Decorations
As featured in Better Homes and Gardens ® do it yourself section, this cotton napkin fold is a great wedding centerpiece when placed in a vase.
Recycle previously used tin cans into easy and inexpensive wedding décor. Just empty a few vegetable cans, removing the labels, and adorn with cotton ribbon and organic flowers for an attractive wedding decorating piece. For further instructions, please visit Michaels.com.

Promote a Cause
Give a tree: Replace your traditional wedding favors with a Tree Instead. You can help reduce your wedding’s carbon footprint by donating a tree on behalf of your guests. 
Donate Your Flowers: Let your floral arrangements live beyond your wedding day by donating them to a retirement home or other local charity. Give your gift a special touch by tying the stem of your flowers with beautiful cotton ribbon.
Donate Leftovers: Although most food banks will only collect non-perishables, your local food rescue program will welcome any leftovers from your wedding reception and deliver them to a homeless shelter the same day.
