Flowers, Dresses and Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Going green and being eco friendly for weddings is no longer simply a trend, it is a standard practice for many brides. While there are a million and 1 ways to go green, I wanted to tell you about three ways that are a little less known among the environmentally conscious brides. Flowers, dresses and letterpress wedding invitations are all important.

It is important to select locally grown and flowers that are in season, organic would be ideal. If it is at all possible, consider having the flowers from the ceremony moved to the reception to not only lower your costs, but save on the total amount of flowers you need to purchase. If you are feeling extra generous, have a local hospital or non-profit pick up the flowers at the end of your event so they are enjoyed for as long as possible.

Many brides do not realize just how green letterpress wedding invitation printing can be. While it is not an industry standard, we print on 100% tree free recycled cotton paper using soy based inks that lower carbon emissions. Paperless proofs not only speed up the whole process, but are another way that letterpress wedding invitations are a green option. When thinking about who will print your letterpress wedding invitation design, make sure to ask about their green practices.

Earth friendly materials such as silk and hemp are becoming more popular among eco savvy brides to be. If you are truly dedicated to going green, think about a vintage or used dress. Not only will this save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars, your wedding’s environmental impact will be greatly reduced. Either way, after your wedding consider donating your dress to a charitable organization.

Are there any cool or interesting ways you plan to go green for your wedding?
