Color Splash: Solar Power Wedding Inspiration

Keep warm this winter or plan ahead for your spring wedding with a sunny yellow color splash. The color experts and trend setters at Pantone have chosen Solar Power as one of the colors for Spring 2012. It is difficult not to smile or feel unloved when surrounded in this warm color. Make the stunning rays of this color truly stand out by pairing with a cooler tone, like silver. Pantone’s “Solar Power” provides more than a color inspiration; go green at your wedding by using solar powered accent lights or by letting natural sunlight illuminate your wedding.

The Earthy Earth Day Bride

It’s Earth Day, 2011. Whether you’re planning an Earth Day wedding or would simply like to plan an eco-friendly wedding any time of the year. we’ve got plenty of helpful hints and tips to reduce your carbon footprint on your Big Day.

There are a plethora of opportunities to adjust your wedding plans to make your wedding more planet friendly. From flowers to lighting, and everything in between, there’s a better way to do almost everything. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Eco-Friendly Wedding Ideas

• Purchase wedding flowers that are in season and can be obtained in your local area. How does this help the Earth? Buying locally reduces the carbon footprint by reducing the amount of fuel required to import flowers from exotic locales.
• Commemorate your wedding day by planting a tree, like the couple pictured at right.
• Don’t register for items you don’t need. Take stock of what you have and what you actually need. If it turns out you don’t need much, consider asking your guests to donate to your favorite charity rather than offering traditional gifts. After all, you can only use so many toasters at once!
• Plan your wedding festivities to minimize the amount of driving your guests will need to do between the wedding ceremony location, the wedding reception and hotels or other lodging for out of town guests.
• Use eco-friendly wedding invitations made from tree-free or 100% recycled paper.
• Bake your own wedding cake at home using local, organic ingredients. Provide a menu of all-local, sustainable, Earth friendly cuisine at your reception.
• Choose environmentally friendly wedding favors like our Pink Ribbon Plantable Wedding Favors. After the wedding, your guests will take their favors home and plant them, creating zero waste and growing a patch of wildflowers to beautify their own little patch of the Earth.
• Coordinate with a local homeless shelter in advance to determine regulations regarding the donation of left-over reception food. Wedding decorations and other items can also be donated to various organizations for re-use or passed around from one bride to the next. Read more »
