In the top left corner is a front and back view of an amazing wedding gown made by Chrissy Wai Ching, and fuses together the looks of China, Puerto Rico, and England in an organic and eco-friendly, low impact way. A great idea to do with the dress after the wedding? Donate it to the I Do Foundation, a group that donates prom gowns and wedding dresses to low income girls and women. The beautiful bridesmaids dresses are also from Wai Ching.
The ring is so cool - it's made from remelted metals and recycled stones, this one from Leber Jeweler. Another great ring shop is Green Karat, the Earthwise Jeweler. For a green bouquet, go to an organic florist, or pick them from your, or a friend's, garden. Be uber cute and carry them in a little pot so you can replant them!
For invitations, programs, and other paper materials, you've got so many selections. It's so easy to find 100% post-consumer recycled papers that are just beautiful. These are from Invite Site. For a green cake, go to an organic bakery, like the Flying Apron in Seattle, or better yet, make it yourself. Home ovens use so much less energy than commercial ovens. And use plants to decorate! Pot either some greens or flowering plants, and encourage your guests to take them home and plant them. A great favor idea is to give your guests saplings from the Arbor Day Foundation. For your reception, it's so easy to get bamboo plates and biodegradable cups made from corn instead of plastic. Check out Branch.
But my biggest recommendation? Have your wedding and reception in the same place, and have it outdoors!! This will not only cut out on car travel (and exhaust) but you'll have a beautiful wedding lit by natural light!!
