|
| I am planning my wedding- the date is Sept 6, 2008. I want it to be as ECO FRIENDLY and environmentally friendly as possible on a TIGHT budget. Our budget is $3500- we don't have to pay for the hall, tables, chairs, or minister. And our DJ is already paid for, too. So, we have to do everything else, including caterer, for $3500- our caterer quoted us $1500, so that leaves us $2000 for everything else. I want to use seeded invitations (plantable invites) and plantable seeded favors. Any links to websites with this sort of thing on a budget would be great!Also looking for an organic cotton wedding dress for less than $600. Looking for organic rice paper lanterns for decorations, and anything organic eco friendly to decorate with, give for favors, or wear... Any hints, tips, and website links would be great!!THANK YOU! |

| Another idea on wedding dress is recycle one. Buy one in consignment. |

| For wedding favors, the ony thing I can help you with (and that depends where you live) is go to your local SPCA (not even sure of what the acronym stands for but it is the agricultural association in your area) for seedlings. They will give you free seedlings (at least where I live) to create shelter belts, limiting land erosion. Given your idea though, they may love that and give them to yo at no charge as well. Can you list you province/state as it will make referrals easier! Good luck! |

| Here are some dresses -http://www.threadheadcreations.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=A10F&Category_Code=Bridal1http://www.rawganique.com/Wssd1.htmhttp://snakemountainthreads.com/hempweddingdresses-enchantedmaiden.htmlThere are some lovely ones!Just remember to use all organic and fairtrade goods for your catering and coffee, etc. Arrange to donate leftover food to a charity.Use china, not any disposables at all.Hemp items are probably the cheapest to go with, but sometimes being eco-friendly is MORE important!Good luck! |
