Green tips
for your wedding





Have an outdoor wedding
to eliminate need
for artificial lights.

Use one site for both the
wedding and the reception,
and request carpooling.

Buy gently used attire and
accessories for the bridal party.

Donate leftover food
to a local homeless facility.

Use 100% recycled invitations
processed without chlorine.

Throw native wildflower seeds
instead of the traditional rice.

Give compact fluorescent
light bulbs as wedding favors.

Choose an environmentally

sensitive hotel for your honeymoon.

Choose locally grown
flowers and food to reduce
fuel needed for shipping.

For every decision,
pick the least wasteful option.

 Green tips
for gorgeous prom gals


ATTIRE

 

  • Buy or rent a gently used gown
  • Add gorgeous inexpensive bling for a glamorous look
  • Enhance your look with satin gloves that match your gown
  • Skip the expensive shoes (its all about the gown anyway!)
  • Instead of a clutch, use a toy holster or garter on your upper thigh to hold lipgloss, money clip, slim camera, etc.
  • Use silk flowers for hand-made boutonniere as keepsake
  • Don’t be afraid to rework a used gown, i.e. remove sleeves, add underlayer (or outerlayer!) of tulle for fullness, add faux pearls or crystals in strategic locations or add your grandmother’s favorite vintage brooche, remove straps and add boning (a good seamstress can help!), replace boring straps with hand-made crystal or pearl straps

DINNER

  • Everyone order appetizers only, then share
  • Coordinate a “progressive dinner” (each set of parents makes one course and the couples travel between homes to eat each course)
  • Descend upon an unsuspecting local fast food restaurant
  • Weather permitting, a dinner picnic in a beautiful park at sunset

 

PHOTOS

  • Pack a small camera and have friends take your photo in front of the prom scene while the photographer is on break…and don’t forget to take great action shots during the evening!
