Bridezilla vs. Mothra, the Eco-Bride
The resentment continues to build. From the comments:
My dad did the eco-friendly wedding thing last summer. I was a bridesmaid and his fiancee made us carry POTTED PLANTS down the aisle instead of bouquets. They were planted in her garden following the ceremony.
No, I'm not joking, and that was just the beginning.
------------------
Ha. This "laudable trend" is all well and good until you're the wedding planner who has the unenviable task of finding suitable silkworms or the bridesmaids who have to weave some crazy dress train out of organic fair-trade sunflowers.
------------------
So... can we just put eco- in front of anything now and have a hack write a story about it? I'm an eco-writer. All my notebooks are made from twice-recycled newspapers (that themselves were made from recycled Greenpeace posters). I use a quill pen and my own blood for ink. My computer is made of parts I scrounged from the junkyard. My inflated sense of self-importance is completely biodegradable.

Want to be more eco-friendly? Go nude.

i think that is a little much! i am all for the green movement- but a potted plant? come on! i recently got married and did a whole eco-theme myself- but i still made my bridesmaids happy and stylish while staying with the theme. i had them all wear (as my bridesmaid gift) these gorgeous vintage necklaces from Nola Singer Bridesmaid Gifts. the girls loved them and they looked great (much better than potted plants).
