Go for an organic wedding, theme it green.
There is an increasing trend among a lot of couple who want to have a green wedding. People are looking forward to coordinate an Eco friendly wedding. Such a wedding can be elegant and modern at the same time if it is well organized. This is like an opportunity where in you can give back something to the nature and to the Mother Earth.
What will it consist of?
A green wedding will majorly consist of every material that is sustainable and is also eco friendly. The materials that it will consist of will include renewable fibers, recycled material and sustainable material.
Ideas
When someone comes to the wedding, it is a tradition to offer a thank you gift that is a token of remembrance. Hundreds of guests are invited to the wedding and thus hundreds of gifts are given. Here the idea is to give gifts that are green and eco friendly.
Also minimize on the amount of packaging and gift wrapping. Most of the paper and the plastic that is used for this purpose is not eco friendly. Some of the specific ideas are as follows:
1. Flowers and herbs
Herbs like lavender and marjoram have been associated to weddings and flowers like roses and elderflower have had a very long association with marriages.
So in order to replace buying all of these flowers from the market, the idea is to give the organic seed of these flowers and herbs to the farmers so that they can grow them in the local nursery in an organic manner.
If you want some personal touch in this, then the idea is to use ink stamp pots. Dress and design these flower pots with the help of ribbons.
The color of the decoration should be in tune with the theme color.
2. Wine
Wine is almost like an essential part of any wedding. There are a number of wineries all over the world. The wine that you order for your wedding should be organic. Organic wine has a very good flavor and the method that is used while growing this is sustainable and eco friendly.
3. Local community
In every area, there are people who have local communities that manufacture food items, especially sweets in groups on a small scale.
Order can be given to one such group and the option to customize will give you the liberty to choose the ingredients. In this manner you can ensure that it is made up of green products.
For example, there are a lot of chocolate companies that make chocolate that is organically grown. They can be contacted for the same purpose.
4. Jute bags
Another idea is to use jute bags. They are eco friendly and they can also be quite easily customized and designed for the occasion.
These bags could carry the gifts.
5. Invite cards
The invitation cards that are given pre wedding are generally made up of paper. In order to have a green wedding, you should choose the recyclable paper.
6. Dress
The wedding dress should be made up of fabrics that are organic in nature. Synthetics should be avoided in order to have an Eco friendly wedding.
I know that second hand gown is something that most of us will not be ready to wear so that above alternative should work for us.
Some of the quick tips for an eco friendly wedding re as follows:
1. Donate the leftover food, don’t let it go waste.
2. Invite selective set of people
3. Email all the invites
4. Use organic food, whether it is to be served or raw or cooked.
An organic wedding that is sustainable is not a difficult job. This will involve thinking about every detail that is related to the wedding in a green manner. The entire approach that will be used here is eco friendly. This will give you a sense of joy and satisfaction because you will feel that you have not harmed the nature. In fact, this will motivate people around you to undertake similar measures.
