When my husband and I got married it was important to us to minimize
waste (both physical and monetary) and to reduce and reuse as much as
possible. In the spirit of being green, I bought a damaged dress and
had it refashioned and my husband wore a tuxedo that once belonged to
his great uncle. Instead of having the members of our bridal party all
wear the same dress, or even the same color, we give them a color
pallet and let them choose something they could wear again. My husband
and I made the color card out of scraps of fabric and recycled
magazines and sent a digital picture to everyone in the party. My
sister Eve – standing next to my husband – chose to wear the same dress
she wore to my brother's wedding and my nieces picked dresses they
could wear to other parties. Even though the colors and styles were so
different the result was beautiful!
