“Green” Wedding Gowns

Joyce’s recent post on green weddings got me thinking about ways to incorporate concern for the environment into a wedding. In my mind, weddings are full of limited-use decorations and single-wear dresses, so there’s room to cut a lot of waste. But can you have an environmentally-friendly wedding, that’s still beautiful?

The ladies of WeddingBee recently wrote about cotton wedding gowns, with pictures of simple, yet elegant cotton dresses. These would look lovely at any wedding — green or not — and they have the ability to be redyed and worn again.

What do you think? Are green weddings a hippie fad or the trend of the future?
