Eco-Friendly Weddings: Online Bridal Boutique Launches Contest to Find Best Green Wedding Ideas
Virginia Beach, VA (PRWEB) April 30, 2008 -- Beautiful-Bridal.com has issued a green challenge to all brides-to-be. The online bridal boutique has launched a contest in honor of Earth Day asking brides to submit original and unique eco-friendly wedding ideas. The winner will receive a free bridal tiara valued at $55.
Kathleen Terrana, owner of Beautiful Bridal, says the contest (called "Brides Make Smart Choices") is intended to make us more mindful of our consuming habits. She says weddings can be extremely wasteful if they aren't planned with the environment in mind.
"The choices you make at your wedding will eventually affect me, and the choices I make will eventually affect you, because they all impact on the environment. So it makes sense to share our environmentally-friendly wedding ideas with each other and celebrate the happiest day of our lives in a responsible way that leaves a positive legacy for our children," says Terrana.
The movement towards green weddings is gaining momentum as more and more brides include environmental choices in almost every aspect of their planning. They're choosing, for example, second-hand or rented wedding gowns, rings made of recycled gold, a reception serving local food and drink, hybrid limos for the bridal party, organic in-season flowers, a honeymoon that's close to home, etc.
Ms Terrana has come up with a few of her own suggestions for environmentally-friendly weddings to help inspire contest entrants:
* Make personalized wedding favors by decoratively wrapping up garden seeds or tree seedlings, then customize them with blessings, poems, or personal messages.
* Use biodegradable or recycled paper wedding invitations, wrapping paper, ribbons and gift cards.
* Give your attendants jewelry made from recycled metals and stones.
* Book the wedding and reception within walking distance of each other so car travel is reduced.
The "Brides Make Smart Choices" contest closes on June 30, 2008. Details on how to submit ideas to the eco-friendly wedding contest can be found on the Beautiful Bridal blog: http://beautiful-bridal.blogspot.com

The Wedding Fairy Tale
I never thought I?d live to see the day when my sister gets married. It?s just not like her to enter into some kind of boy-girl relationship or any sort commitment involving men, for that matter. Judging from the way she lived her life since our school days, you?d think she?s a spontaneous man-hating machine who hates everything that has to do with the male specie. We really thought she?s a lesbian, though it doesn?t pose a problem to anyone in the family, it?s just overwhelming standing here as a bride?s maid in a small Church in Louisiana awaiting for the bride that is my sister.
