Planning a Green Wedding Part 2

Last week I left you with green ideas for choosing your wedding gown. I just wanted to add to this as I have found a great way for you to have that beautiful designer dress at a fraction of the cost and of course it's eco friendly because they have all been pre-loved. You can also sell your dress here of course :)

Love Me Twice are based in Melbourne but you can order online.
Here's a couple of gowns available and some info from their website-

Wedding Favours / Bonbonniere

Think about either making a donation to your favorite charity as a wedding favor, or giving something that your guests can use to grow more life, like seeds, trees, or bulbs that guests can plant in honor of your union. Think drought resistant, hardy plants like grevilleas or wattles such as acacia cognata, a native grass called Lomandra ‘Seascape’, Coastal Rosemary, Westringia fruticosa. Look out for ‘Jervis Gem’. It's a low, rounded shrub, with wonderful mauve flowers. It's a tough, hardy plant.

If that's not quite what you had in mind then here are a few more ideas. Remember, you are trying to avoid any wastage so try and think recycled or no packaging at all. Also, think local! -

* Bamboo coasters or placemats (Bamboo is considered good luck)

* Home made vegan sweets in reusable recycled boxes

* Organic soy candles

* Organic, fair trade coffe or tea

* Satchels or potpourri bags full of organic herbs

* Bottle of Australian organic wine.

* Recycled photo album as seen here

I hope that has helped a little :) I will be back next week with a post specifically on catering for your green wedding.
See you then! x
