Eco-friendly Bridesmaid Dresses
Choosing dresses made from
sustainable fabrics isn’t the only green option for bridesmaid dresses.
One of the most eco-friendly options is to choose dresses that your
bridesmaids can wear again after the wedding is over. Even if you
choose a dress handmade from eco-fabrics, a one-time use dress is just
not as eco-friendly if it will never be worn again. Opt for classic
colors and styles and involve your bridesmaids in the decision process
so you will choose dresses that are sure to be worn again. You may also
want to look into pre-owned dresses. There are great resources online
and you can even check with your local dress shop to see if there are
any never-been-worn dresses that were returned due to wedding mishaps.
And of course, bridesmaid dresses made from organic or sustainable
fabrics are always green choices when buying new – and if they are
simple and classic in style and can be easily re-worn, that’s even
better. View eco bridesmaid dress inspiration
Eco-Friendly Bridesmaid Jewelry
When choosing jewelry for your bridesmaids, think timeless. Opt for items such as crystal or pearl stud earrings or a simple silver or gold chain. Have your bridesmaids check their jewelry boxes, they may even have such items already or they may be able to borrow them from someone. If you decide to go with something new, look for handmade jewelry and support fair trade or local artists. There are even a growing number of designers that offer jewelry made from recycled metals and conflict-free gemstones. View eco bridesmaid jewelry inspiration
Eco-Friendly Wedding Flowers
Flower bunches in bright pinks, yellows and oranges are a great way to add some color and drama to your bridal party. Look for florists that offer local, organic or sustainably grown flowers certified by a reputable organization such as VeriFlora, Florverde, Rainforest Alliance, USDA or Fair Trade Certified.
