Green Invitation Ideas...
Reduce paper waste by using these seal and send “Californian All in One” wedding invitations. The wedding invitations are printed on one long strip of biodegradable paper, which you fold up, seal with your choice of sticker and send off to your guests. The reply card is at the bottom of the invitations, perforated so your guests can easily detach it and mail it back to you as a postcard. No envelopes, no reply card envelopes, no extra waste! They are 100% recyclable and you can also purchase them with wildflower seeds so your guests can plant your card and get flowers in their garden later. Extra bonus points: this company is located in San Diego!

Eco-Friendly Wedding Attire...
Your wedding attire is another area where you can be eco-conscious by purchasing a dress using natural, sustainable fabrics.

One company that specializes in this area is Conscious Clothing – they sell hemp and silk wedding attire. They have a number of elegant wedding gowns using hemp, silk, a combination and organic cotton lace. They also have hemp suits for the groom and dresses for the bridesmaid and even the flower girl. Another company that does hemp silk wedding gown is Rene Geneva Design. One last option is Olivia Luca – her site allows you to choose exactly what you want for your dress – you choose the bodice, the skirt, the details and trims, the fabric and the colors. The fabric choices vary and you are able to choose from options such as organic cotton, hemp/silk charmeuse, and other fair trade cottons.
