Recently, people have been striving to break out of nature from dusty streets and long traffic jams, they want to touch the natural and the pristine. Trees, flowers, stones, birds return thoughts to their ancestors, purify the soul, fill the heart with beauty and tranquility.
An eco-style wedding is not only a modern direction in the celebration of the wedding day, but also a recognition that nature is an integral part of every person’s life. Any natural element carries a certain positive charge, which will certainly affect the lives of young people.
Preliminary attributes of the "green" wedding
Preparing for the most significant event of a couple in love takes a lot of time and is troublesome, especially if you decide to hold a wedding in a certain style.
Eco-triumph is fraught with many attributes that need to be thought out in advance.
The first thing you need to arrange is an eco-style wedding invitation. What can they be?
Invitation cards must contain a reference to the theme of the holiday. Use natural shades and natural elements: linen or jute threads, birch bark, wooden tags, papyrus paper, dried flowers, cones, coarse fabrics, lace.
The predominant colors should be green, brown, beige.
In addition, before the wedding, the bride and groom hold a bachelorette party and a bachelor party, which can also be related to the theme of nature: barbecue in the forest, a photo shoot on the river, rafting along the river, hiking in the mountains - all this will set guests up for the next event and maintain the general atmosphere holiday.
Ecological image of young
In fact, for an eco-wedding in clothes, various textures and styles are acceptable. A wedding in nature implies convenience, lightness and not overloaded with details - stick to this concept, and then the festive costume will definitely fall into the theme.
For the bride, a good solution would be dresses of a free cut or A-line. Lace and guipure are welcome. In decorative details, it is also worth turning to the natural atmosphere: flowers in the hair, a belt of thick linen tow, earrings in the form of green leaves.
The groom can try on not a standard black suit, but softer and warmer brown shades, milky or beige (if the wedding is in summer, it is especially true), gray or dark green. The buttonhole must necessarily be associated with the bride’s bouquet and also carry an eco-theme.
Flowers for the bride and groom can be a highlight in the image and hint at a “green” wedding, even if the bride’s dress and jewelry are in no way connected with the natural theme. For this bouquet, ordinary flowers and greens are taken: field daisies, fern, moss, mint, pansies, succulents, peonies (for bright filling), yarrow, dandelions and other available plants.
Where to hold a wedding in an ecological style?
The location of the celebration is one of the most important elements in the framework of the celebration of natural themes. It is best to organize the event directly on the street. Choose a picturesque meadow, river or sea shore. Please note that the celebration should not take place in a busy meadow in a city park, but in a more secluded place where strangers will not be able to interfere with you.
If the wedding is winter, then on the street you can arrange only a photo shoot, but it is better to accommodate guests in a rustic wooden cottage. The surroundings will fully correspond to the eco-wedding, and the additional decor will enhance the general atmosphere.
In the event that it is not possible to leave the city, then an ordinary cafe can be a great venue for a wedding with a natural theme. The main thing is to think over all the decorative details that will create a sense of naturalness.
Eco-friendly wedding colors
Nature most often appears before us in soft, warm, non-shouting colors, in the decor you need to adhere to this principle. Shades of green and brown, beige and pale blue, white and chocolate or dark green are beautifully combined with each other.
Such options are acceptable to use in the outfits of the young, in the design of a table or space.
Decoration of the celebration
The eco-friendly wedding features a decor that won't hit your wallet. Natural materials can be found even in their summer cottage area, the fabrics used are already in use - it is possible to unpack the grandmother's chest. In it you can find not only old lace and yarn, but also various embroidered towels, shirts, towels, sundresses - all this will fit perfectly into the “green” wedding.
Wooden tables and chairs, tablecloths and napkins made of burlap, a lot of candles placed in glass jars or on thin wooden stumps, fresh flowers in pots as a central decoration, photographs hung on clothespins will perfectly fit into the general theme of the holiday and create the right atmosphere.
Eco-friendly ideas for photo shoots and wedding walks
Natural subjects oblige to take pictures in nature, using to the maximum landscapes and various natural monuments and phenomena.
So you should definitely take a walk along a wheat field or a green meadow, look into the forest, where you can meet not only beautiful trees and grass, but also animals. An interesting decision would be to make a swing on which the groom will swing the bride.
If there is a haystack nearby , then do not forget to catch it during the wedding - the real natural surroundings will be enclosed in these frames.
Unusual shooting and walking can be arranged on the banks of a river or lake. Take a ride on a boat, a catamaran, or just take pictures that capture the expanse of water and greenery.
Do not forget that an eco-wedding involves the closest approach to nature in everything, including vehicles. Have a bike ride, let the groom ride the bride, or even vice versa. If possible, then ride a horse - these are not only beautiful photos, but also an unforgettable experience.
An eco-style wedding is an excellent solution for those who live in harmony with nature and see the beautiful in the seemingly ordinary little things: flowers, sand, trees, greenery. Such an event will be remembered for a long time, and the memory will be enclosed in photographs that reflect youth and life.
