An Eco-Friendly Wedding-Part Two

My last post covered eco-friendly wedding dresses and options for sustainable decorations and centerpieces. But every bride knows there's a lot more to planning a wedding!

Invitations

The first impression your guests have of your wedding is your save the dates and invitations. This is your chance to express your style and present any theme your wedding may be following. While important, your invitations don't need to be wasteful or harmful to the environment. Make sure you choose companies who offer invites made from recycled paper or ones that don't include trees at all. Many sites also include sustainable envelopes as well. If you are creative and have the time, consider designing and making your own invites. Just don't forget eco-friendly menus, place cards and RSVPs or any other paper needs you may have.

More companies are working toward making their shoes vegan and leaving out any animal products such as fur, hair or hides. If you're sporty or looking for something more casual, TOM's now offers shoes for brides and bridesmaids as well as your groom and groomsmen. Plus when you purchase from TOM's, another pair is donated to a person in need. Olsen Haus is another option if luxurious and high fashion is something you dream about. Elizabeth Olsen's vegan shoes never sacrifice style in their pursuit for sustainability and that's something you can feel good about. Calleen Cordero is another high fashion name who effortlessly combines it with her "earthy" shoes. Best of all, her styles are made in the U.S.A.  Jeffrey Campbell, one hand offers vintage, romantic footwear and on the other, futuristic, hard core street styles. And of course it's a vegan line. Some styles are intimidating but for the urban bribe, the shoe might just fit. Check out both a classic type and one that is bold to say the least. . You decide!
