If you have decided to have an eco-friendly wedding, your main goal is to "green up" as much of the wedding as you can, from wearing a hemp wedding gown to serving Organic food. The same holds true for the bridal bouquet. How can a bride green up her wedding while still having something beautiful to carry down the aisle? Easy, by using one of these great eco-friendly wedding bouquet ideas.
Fresh flowers are unquestionably beautiful, and no bride should be deprived of the pleasure of carrying a lovely floral bouquet if she wants to. If you want to opt for fresh flowers, which most brides do, opt for organic flowers, which were grown without the use of harmful pesticides. By selecting for locally grown flowers which are in season at the time of your wedding, you will both reduce the carbon footprint involved in transporting your wedding flowers and ensure that the blossoms you have are the freshest and most beautiful. If you plan well in advance, you can even grown your own organic flowers, something that the kids can help do as well!
If you want to be unique and not use fresh flowers, a many brides are learning to make their own bouquet from vintage brooches or pins. Recycling materials is always an eco-friendly option, and brooch bouquet also happen to be stunning. The neat thing about a do-it-yourself bouquet is that you have total control over the colors. For a winter wedding, a bouquet comprised of all clear crystal vintage pins would be truly fabulous. These hand-crafted non-fresh bouquets make for excellent keepsakes!
