So the big day is getting closer and closer, and you are racking your brain trying to think of the perfect wedding, the wedding that you have dreamed of, but fashions change, what is a perfect wedding?? Actually, nobody can afford the picture perfect wedding that we dreamed of as little princesses, but that is not always possible due to keeping to a tight budget. If you care about the environment and the world that you and your children will have to live in and you are looking for a creative way to celebrate your marriage on a tighter budget than you would like, consider the pros of having an eco-friendly wedding.
What is a green wedding? A green wedding is a wedding that is organised with the environment in mind. Large parties can be very upsetting to certain ecosystems and a lot of unnecessary waste can be created in preparation for and during wedding ceremonies, from the your invitations and RSVP envelopes you mail out, to the treatment that you use on the lawn before your reception .
If you look there are lots of ways that you can do to assist in having the financially controlled, eco-friendly green wedding that you are preparing for, including the way you shop for rings and enjoy your post wedding ceremony food and drink.
As far as your clothing goes, a lot of those who have green weddings have gowns that are made of natural fibers, such as hemp, or else wearing something they already have or buy something that they can re-use. Wedding gowns are often put in the rubbish at some point after the wedding, and take up a lot of space in the garbage pile as well, so it is best that they be used more than once if they must be used at all. If you decide to buy a brand new dress for your big day, try to find a dress that you can see yourself having to ever wear again in the span of your life.
Here are some other info on how to save the earth little by little, beginning with your green wedding:
- Buy antique rings or pawn shop rings; you often get a more distinct ring and you can save a some money in the process.
- Use biodegradable disposable cups, plates, spoons, knives, and forks at your wedding reception. The environment and the dishwasher will both benefit, as well as whoever pays for the water.
- If the above option does not work for you, think about renting your dishes and cutlery from the caterer. Then, you do not have to concern yourselves with the dishes and you do not have to worry about having plastic cups and spoons up to the ears after the event.
- Have your wedding ceremony and your reception at the same place, if at all possible. This saves your guests the petrol of having to get back and forth between the two locations, it saves them a possible change of clothes, and it decreases the amount of pollutants in the atmopshere, by decreasing the amount of travelling they have to do because of your big day.
