A Wedding Natural
By Jill Dudones
Just think about it—a wedding as natural as the love you have for that person you’ll soon say “I do” to.
Whether you’re a green gal or you simply like the look of the au natural trend, now more than ever there are countless solutions available to help you pull off a simple, naturalistic wedding day. From organic linens and dress fabric to recyclable disposable outdoor tablewear to a matrimonial organic vegan menu to a wholistic gift registry —it’s all there at your fingertips.
The Grown-Right Gown
If you want the healthiest, safest and most radiant materials adorning your cherished wholistic form, choose styles designed in eco-friendly fabrics. OrganicWeddings.com offers a variety of “green” matrimonial fabrics to choose from, such as hemp/silk blends. You won’t find any synthetics materials—no petro-based fabrics or any unhealthy chemicals. If you want bright white, there are fabric options that have been pristined with an environmentally friendly non-chlorine bleaching process.
Bam!boo Your Table
Paper plates get swept away in the wind easier than your heart after you first kissed your one true love. Make a natural statement on your tables indoor or outdoor nuptial tables with paper-alternatives by Bambu. Veneerware® is sleek, sophisticated and complements whatever color your décor is—even if it’s not green. Composed of completely organic bamboo and intended for one-time use, it biodegrades in as little as 4-6 months.
A Cake Org
We won’t recommend an organic caterer because we know you’ll have your pernickety preference of vegan, macrobionic, vegetarian or meat-friendly, so instead, how about an organic cake suggestion? Mäni’s Bakery in Los Angeles (www.manisbakery.com) promises phenomenal organic or vegan wedding cakes. From Victorian to Contemporary, they’ll design to your specifications while making the design look divine. Contact
