Sweet Love Plantable Favors at AdvantageBridal.com

Green Bride Guide began its ten city tour on January 7, with stops in major U.S. cities through April. The exhibit showcases the green wedding movement, a 100% sustainable bridal booth and the nation’s leading green wedding vendors for eco brides hoping to do their part.

The green wedding tour schedule follows:

Bridal Fashion Debut Phoenix, AZ 1/7/12-1/8/12
Seattle Wedding Expo Seattle WA 1/14/12-1/15/12
Elite Events Atlanta GA 1/22/12
Bridal Shows Inc. Dallas TX 1/28/12

Rocky Mountain Bridal Show Denver CO 4/22/11

The sustainable bridal booth features recycled cardboard trees, with bamboo poles and linen curtains, while green ventors are marked with a reclaimed wood frame. A description of what makes each product green is displayed on a reusable chalkboard garden sign in a small terracotta pot with real moss, and the sign marking the entrance to the pavilion is printed on recycled tyvek.

Visit Advantage Bridal for ideas on green wedding favors, such as plantable seed favors and linen favor bags, organic cotton bridal tank tops, seed place cards, burlap gift pouches, personalized water bottles and travel mugs (eco bridesmaid gifts), reusable monogram shopping tote, reusable lunch totes and more!

When planning a green wedding, remember the three Rs – reduce, reuse and recyle, because small changes can make a big impact. If you’re doing DIY favors, give something the guests can use at home or a tasty snack to nibble on. Shop for gently used wedding gowns or think about donating/selling yours after the big day. Choose bridesmaids dresses and shoes they’ll wear again. Use potted flowers or containers as centerpieces. Try a non-traditional bouquet with paper flowers, brooches or ribbon.

Less is more for the eco bride and we encourage everyone to do their part, no matter how seemingly insignificant!

Eco Chic Wedding Flowers: Succulents

Monday, March 21st, 2011

From modern bridal bouquets and wedding favors to stunning centerpieces and reception decor, consider succulents for your eco-chic event that is friendly on the eyes and earth! With spring here and summer fast approaching, succulents make great flower decorations for warm weather and outdoor weddings. Plus, they can be planted later for long-term enjoyment. Succulents definitely aren’t the typical fresh-cut floral bouquet and that alone can save money in the long run.

If you don’t want to do the entire wedding in succulent plants, you can pair them with roses and other flowers for beautiful contrast. The various hues of greens, grays and soft pinks provide an excellent backdrop for the bridal bouquet, but these drought-tolerant plants can also be the statement piece. Green weddings can be chic and there are plenty of modern brides who have proved that! Check out the gorgeous bridal bouquet below accented with a peacock feather. For more ideas on how to make your flowers one-of-a-kind, shop for flower picks, bouquet jewelry and rhinestone stem accents at Advantage Bridal.

DIY Bulb Wedding Favors by Once Wed

If you’re planning a spring wedding and still thinking about wedding favors, Once Wed posted DIY favors for brides who aren’t afraid to get their hands a little dirty. Aren’t the vintage containers just darling?  You can use any container that can hold a bulb if you’re looking for something monochromatic or more modern. Growing bulbs indoors is possible with paper whites, daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, amaryllis, cyclamen, agapanthus and ginger. These DIY wedding favors make fabulous table displays or set them all on one table for a punch of color, and guests can grab one as they leave. With tighter budgets and useful items guiding the decisions with wedding favors, DIY seems like a logical, cost-saving choice. The limit is one’s imagination – experiment with different favor tags, containers and bulbs to make unique wedding favors everyone can enjoy in bloom!
