Eco Wedding: The Dress

Earthsense

We’re approaching the busy wedding season, and if you’re planning your own wedding then you know there are a lot of decisions to make!  From the dress to the flowers to the menu and on, try making green decisions along the way to make your day sustainable and eco-friendly.

Let’s start with the attire.  For the groom, simply renting a tux or suit is a great way to use and return a suit that may never be worn again.  Alright Brides, the dress is the biggest decision you’ll make and once you have the dress, the rest is easy.  Have you considered purchasing a used dress?  With many wedding dress recycling services online, you’ll be able to find fashionable dresses that are greatly discounted.  You’ll most likely have to alter any dress you find, so why not save money on the dress and recycle at the same time.  And once the big day has come and gone, sell the dress to another beautiful bride.
