Eco Friendly Wedding Tips!

Bridal Barbie 28on27 Wedding Guru! Bridal Barbie gives Eco Friendly Wedding Advice!           NEWSLETTER AUGUST 7 Summer is almost over and Wedding Season is in full swing, according to THE KNOT the most popular months for weddings are June through October, which means a lot of brides-to-be are in the chaos of full-on planning mode right about now. Just planning a wedding is a monumental task. If you’d like your wedding to be eco-friendly, as well, that makes it even tougher. Here are three economical ways to be nicer to planet Earth while pulling off the big day. INVITATIONS We’ll start with the hard one: invitations. There’s a lot of paper involved. To avoid slaying an entire rain forest while also giving back to the planet, consider “plantable invitations.” Plantable invitations, like those available from Forever Fiances feature recycled paper embedded with wildflower seeds. They cost about as much as invitations printed on recycled paper sans the seeds, so you can encourage tree hugging without breaking the bank. Alternately, to save even more, you can design your own and have them printed on recycled paper. FLOWERS What could be more natural than flowers? They’re literally plants! Sadly, a lot of chemicals are routinely used to grow commercial flowers, and those chemical sprays and pesticides aren’t doing Mother Nature any favors. To make sure your flowers are untainted, choose varieties that are seasonal and sustainable, and create the arrangements yourself. A practical wedding has a great guide to get you started. If you’d rather not take on such a big project, consider an organic florist, like Gardenia Organic right here in NYC. PICTURES Like invitations, the issue here is paper. The more you use, the fewer trees there are to hug. But, this one is fairly easy. Technology to the rescue! Most professional photographers use digital cameras these days. Whether you’re hiring a pro or enlisting the help of a gifted friend, stay away from traditional or disposable cameras. Digital pictures allow you to print only what you want, saving both paper and money. If you’d like additional suggestions, check out the Eco Friendly Wedding Ideas on Pinterest. It’s chalked full of suggestions for keeping your big day earth-friendly and helping trim the cost. Love 28on27 and 1315 xo ​

Bridal Barbie! Wedding Tips: Good Hair Don’t Care

As a girl you always dream of the perfect wedding, the perfect dress, the perfect partner, the perfect location and last but not least perfect hair. We have all gone through the same struggle and asked ourselves, what do I do with my hair!?

It is even harder to decide when it is your big day but worry no more; we are here to give you some guidance

Here are some easy yet fabulous style tips for any bride to be.

 

Natural Curls

Big beautiful curls are one of the most popular hairstyles for brides. Long waves look beautiful under a veil or falling off your shoulders to the dress. To make sure the curls stay out of your face while walking down the isle pin some of the front hairs back. The greatest part about natural curls is when the dance floor opens up at the reception, you have the option to leave your hair the way it is, or throw it up in a curly bun while you get your groove on.

 Ballerina Bun

The ballerina bun has been the go to style for decades whether attending a red carpet or private event. This hairdo is not only is it easy to do but comfortable to wear. To add height, try the sock bun trick, if you want too make it edgier, try a fishtail braid at the bottom of your hair in the back. You can never go wrong with a classic flower matching your bouquet. 

French Braid

French braids are great for all hair lengths. Whether they are small braids worked into short hair, or one thick braid in the back of your head, they are a great way to keep hair off your back and face, which is always important when being a busy bride!

Regardless of what you decide, remember that the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and beautiful when you are ready to day “I Do”.
