Eco Weddings?
Well according to the future wife they really do exist and upon hearing this I was so baffled I had to look into exactly what this was all about. These types of weddings go even further than bathroom accessories.
Of course most women start with the dress. I couldnt quite see how a dress made of recycled stuff could be the best dress you will ever wear. The thing is I did ask her why all of this was so important to her and I simply got the answer *you really wouldn't understand". Onto the subject, you can now find designers for wedding dresses who only source in organic, fair-trade or natural materials. This means that the normal chemicals put into the dresses will be taken out and replaced with expensice ones that do not harm the environment. The bill for the dress is certainly going to be a lot higher than what I would normally have to pay.
The future wife also wants all of her jewellery to be made up of recycled products and wants her hairstylist to use only organic and natural products. This to me is taking it to the extreme but yet it goes even further!
There are so many things you can get including stationary and guestbooks that can all be made from recycled things. Is it just to make me pay a bit more as she wants the food sourced locally.
The wedding cake can be made using free range eggs and organic and fair-trade ingredients can be used just literally add the icing to the cake on my bill. However it is making me feel a bit better in the way that I am improving the environment even on my wedding day.
Of course it isn’t to stop on the wedding day, oh no once we move into our new place the new wife wants eco kitchen accessories as well as eco friendly vases yes she really is taking it this far.
