Going green does not just have to be on your wedding day.  Consider adding some eco-friendly touches throughout your wedding events.  This includes Engagement Parties, Bridal Showers, Luncheons, Wedding Rehearsals…  When planning your wedding events, consider using organic flowers for your centerpieces or tree seedlings as favors.  Below are some ideas on how you can throw an eco-chic wedding event.

1.  Save some trees and consider using recycled paper goods.  This Favor Bag from Estilo Weddings is made from 100% recycled cotton fiber.

2.  Use Recyclable Containers and Centerpieces.  These Eco-Friendly Planters are made from natural grain products and easily decompose in 5 years.  You can also DIY your own centerpieces and source flowers from organic growers such as Organic Bouquet. 

3.  Another alternative for your usual floral centerpiece are these clay flower arrangements.  They can serve both as a centerpiece and as wedding favor/gift to your special guests.

4.  If you are using disposable products, make sure you use biodegradable products that easily decompose.  Consider using these bamboo products - Bamboo Veneer Plates and Bamboo Chopsticks.  They are both stylish and kind to the environment.

5.  Send your guests home with a plant or tree seedling as a party favor.  This will get them involved in preserving our environment by planting more trees and plants for the next generation.

6.  Try to source out gifts that are made from eco-friendly sources.  This Vegan Clutch is a great gift for your bridesmaids.  Made of vegan leather, it is designed to look like real leather that is biodegradable in 10 years.
