June Wedding – Go Organic

I have heard about all sorts of themes for weddings but this one seems to beat them all. You all know about how going organic has been the trend for many things these past few years. I never thought the trend would extend to weddings though! It is true, though. Some couples are now opting for an organic wedding for their June wedding. It seems to be a good idea, I have to admit. So what exactly is an organic wedding?

The main theme revolves around three concepts: recycle, re-use, and reduce. It is pretty much a wedding exalting the environment. We have to admit, with the environmental crisis that we are all facing, this is a very way to go about planning a June wedding.

As this concept is fairly new, it would be a good idea to get hold of a wedding consultant who has had some degree of experience in planning green weddings – which is actually an alternative term for organic weddings. They are basically wedding consultants who know all about the traditional ways of planning weddings with the plus of being environment conscious.

One other important consideration in planning an organic wedding is the venue. More than looking for a romantic venue, a couple wanting a green wedding should also consider other factors such as the presence of recycling containers, the use (or actually the “un-use”) of chemical pesticides for the lawn and other greenery, and the like. You can also further contribute to the conservation of the environment by arranging transport for your guests so as to cut back on fuel consumption and emissions as well. Other ideas for a venue would include places that promote the environment. Museums, botanical gardens, and eco-friendly resorts are a few options.

You should also take into consideration the materials to be used for your wedding rings, jewelry, and wedding gown. Fair trade diamonds, traditional crafts, antique jewelry are a few ideas. As for the wedding gown and the groom’s attire, you can consider local designers or dressmakers who make use of natural materials. Keeping in mind the concept of re-using, why not consider wearing your mother’s old wedding gown? If you want to take it one step further, go to eBay and find a used one (this might not be a very attractive idea for some, I know).

The fact is that there are so many ways in which you can apply the three concepts mentioned above. It is up to you and your creativity.
