Eco-Beautiful flowers? What does that mean?

Aren't all flowers Eco-friendly? You would think so. But unfortunately, not all flower options are kind to the environment or to the people who help bring them to you. Why?

Choose Flowers That Are In Season. One of the biggest things you will have to do if you are looking to have a green wedding is learn to be flexible. Let's say, for example, you've always dreamed of your wedding filled to the brim with gorgeous peonies. I mean, you are positively set on having pretty light pink peonies everywhere. But, you've planned your wedding for November when peonies are not available in the northern hemisphere. Of course your florist could probably get them for you at a very high cost. But going such a route would be so grossly "anti-eco-kind" for just about every reason mentioned in this post and more.

When you buy flowers without insisting on using local resources, your flowers will most likely come from South America or other countries, drenched in chemical preservatives, and shipped under refrigeration from halfway around the world. All of that takes a lot of energy – and more chemicals than you care to know about – to make sure the flowers last long enough to use by your wedding.By using local growers, flowers can get to us quickly without excess use of energy while still fresh and with little or no chemicals and no need for refrigeration.

So, by buying locally from growers who grow organically, you are helping to cut down on the use of harsh chemicals and energy for refrigeration as well as cutting out pollution from all the forms of transportation normally required to get the non-local flowers to you. And, as a side benefit, you will be stimulating your economy by supporting local businesses. And who wouldn't like that, right?

Grow Your Own Flowers. With enough time, you could plant and grow all the flowers for your wedding yourself, in your yard or a co-op garden. A couple of friends of ours did this a few years ago and it turned out just beautifully. Buy Flowers From Fair Trade Suppliers. While it's best to either grow your own or buy local, if you absolutely have to have a type of flower for your wedding that you cannot get locally...make sure the flowers are obtained through Fair Trade. About 80% of cut flowers sold in the United States are grown in Latin America, South America, and Africa. Workers are often exploited to keep costs low, leading to severe abuse and mistreatment. Fair Trade creates a sustainable business model that guarantees social justice, environmental protection and economic development.

And last but not least, handcrafting your own broach, fabric, button, or paper arrangements is another fantastic way to be eco-kind and still have one gorgeous wedding. For obvious reasons, making your own arrangements is as green as green can be. Here's a really neat option for handcrafting your own centerpieces.But another great advantage is that handcrafted items will not wilt and with care...they could last forever.

2in1WeddingDresses.com: A Custom-made Wedding Dress Online Shop

Do you know that why brides are best off having their wedding dresses custom made: you'll get a better fit, exactly the design you want, and won't have to suffer the attitudes and obscene prices of a bridal boutique. And remember: custom dresses don't always cost a fortune! Every special bride deserves the perfect dress and a dress that will suit her special needs and unique taste! So what better way to get this, than designing your own dress!

Has anyone bought a custom made wedding dress online? And how do you find a custom dressmaker? My best advice is start in your immediate circle and work your way out - do you know any seamstresses or amazing sewers? Do any of your friends or family known any? If not, search online or in the Yellow Pages for someone locally.

Local. A good tip for finding a seamstress is calling the costume department of your local theatre. Costume ladies are kickass stichers and love creative challenges. Also, be wary of buying really cheap fabric; ask to see some samples, pay attention to quality, look at the seams, ask to see photographs, etc. Once you find a seamstress you like, bring in as many photos as possible to show garment construction, color, style, fabric, etc. Your seamstress will probably have her own opinions on what will work fabric-wise. Settle on what you need and go fabric shopping or take her with you to do so. Then turn it over to her.

Online. If you just can't find a seamstress near by, there are some truly phenomenal indie dressmakers who work online, just like Wedding Dress Fantasy, 2in1WeddingDresses, Wai-Ching... 2in1WeddingDresses can order a custom-made design based on various sources of inspiration, or alternatively choose a gown from our bridal collection. 2in1WeddingDresses can customize their gown in so many way, such as the length of train, the hem-line, the closure, neckline and color to name just a few! Then how to get a custom-made dress in 2in1WeddingDresses.com?

A. Send us your pictures. If you find a favourite dress online but can't find it in any shop or it's very expensive that you can't afford, don't worry, we can make it for you in almost 100% similar and a much cheaper price.

B. Send us your design. If the dress is your own design or just a designer style which is very valuableness and you don't want to spend too much in a wear once dress, we can help you.

So what should you do with Pinterest? How to find your dream dress and wedding decor ideas from so many boards?
1. Follow the magazine and blog which has their own Pinterest too. By this way you can not only find the beautiful looks you want but also the details "how', "where' and even "how much": how can I do it by myself? Where can I find this perfect dress? How much will it cost and it's there any way to save my time and money?...
2. Find the top designer wedding dresses online shop or one brand you love, usually they have a professional team or top fashion wedding planners, you can always find the place where they share the wedding trends, share their unique and top ideas about your wedding.
3. Some location Tailors also have their blog or Pinterest to show their words and share their practical ideas for your dress choosing and even wedding planning. Also they usually have a small online shop for the location brides and even the bride-to-be all over the world. These small Tailors often have their characters, some special for lace wedding dress, some for short dress, some for expensive wedding gowns and some for simple and cheap dresses, for example, cheap 2 in 1 wedding dresses or a second dress.
4. If you don't like all these "Business Expert", there are also many professors in person. They write blogs and share Pinterest only for interest, they may a fashion blogger, a wedding planner, a bride-to-be just like you or a photographer for wedding... They may know exactly what you have in mind: what you want and what you hate.
5. At last, you can simple search "wedding dresses", "wedding planning", "wedding dresses 2014"... in Pinterest. This is very simple but maybe will take you more time and usually you can't find the "how" and "where" at the same time.

This highly visual platform rakes in 2 1/2 billion monthly pageviews from its 70 million users monthly.
