DIY Weddings: Environmental Friendly Wedding

Beautiful environmental friendly weddings are on the rise. Plan a wedding that celebrates the union and nature together. Couples are focusing on weddings that differ from traditional weddings and are environmental friendly. These are not drab and boring weddings to plan or attend. They can be exotic and very beautiful.

Cotton material is one of the most environmental friendly fabrics. Clothing for the wedding should be primarily cotton material. Concentrate on having complimentary earth tone colors for the wedding attendants to wear Styles can be formal or very informal depending on the wishes of the couple. Ask guests to wear cotton based material for wedding attire.

Invitations for an environmental friendly wedding should be printed on recycled paper. Think about what products being used at the wedding can be used from recycled items such as napkins and table coverings. Line waste bins for the wedding with recycled, paper bags instead of plastic bags.

Many brides create or have special head pieces made for environmental friendly weddings. Synthetic netting and artificial flowers in many traditional wedding veils are not environmental friendly. Gorgeous head pieces can be made from cotton fabric, cotton lace and dried natural flowers.

The setting for environmental friendly weddings is traditionally outdoors. Consider having the wedding in the yard of one of the family members or at a local park or even lake. Botanical gardens are beautiful natural settings for a wedding. Make sure to check with the location owner and obtain any permits needed if using a public area for the wedding ceremony. Use wooden chairs and benches for seating instead of plastic or metal chairs. Have awning covers that are made from cotton instead of polyester or plastic. The focus of the environmental setting should be the natural surroundings instead of many items brought into the area.
