Looking for knickers with a small carbon footprint?

Luva Huva produces eco-friendly  garments in the United Kingdom that are utterly adorable. Each knicker is hand made with bows, frills and sometimes buttons to make a very special and unique pair of knickers.

Perfect for your wedding day. Luva Huva’s method of production minimizes environmental impact and I work as ecologically as possible. Luva Huva’s use a variety of end of line fabrics, remnants and cut-offs that would otherwise go to waste. All the materials are sourced locally and every garment is handmade in the UK by Luva Huva, meaning their knickers have a small carbon footprint. Consequently they are not only beautiful but also ethically sound.

i-do-it-yourself.com is one of our favorite web sites for all things DIY. You definitely have to stop by and visit their post on Lauren and Andrew’s DIY wedding. These green invites are the pride and joy of Lauren and Andrew’s DIY wedding efforts. They created these chipboard invitation wheels to give guests a creative way to get all their information in an heirloom keepsake format.

They are made from two circles of untreated, recycled chipboard die cut and letter pressed to look like an old planting wheel with redwood rings on it.

eco friendly wedding ideas

I came across this on JL Designs and just wanted to share with you if you had not seen this already. The theme for the shoot was “eco-chic”…designing in a sustainable way that is easy on the wallet and easy on the environment without sacrificing style. It was for the second issue of the online magazine, utterly engaged! If you have not checked that out you so should. Stephanie Williams Photography is the genius behind the camera. Sweet and Saucy is responsible for the tasty treats. JL Designs has so many incrdible tips on making a stylish eco friendly yet affordable day possible… read on.

For the table scape, they collected vintage vases and milk glass at local thrift stores to be sustainable (and budget-friendly), trying to re-use as much as possible they where then filled them with varying shades of yellow ranunculas, lisianthus, tulips and astilbe…buying flowers as local and domestic as possible helps lessen the gas and emissions used in transporting the flowers from where they are grown…also, by arranging flowers in vases with only water, it reduces the need for floral foam, which is not bio-degradable and takes forever to break down in landfills. That is good to know I for one did not know that.

The tablescape and bouquets featured local, organic flowers and everlasting flowers carved from bolsa wood.

Melody from Sweet and Saucy created this beautiful cake with a homespun feel…going with a butter cream frosting is always less expensive than fondant.By incorporating the cake, desserts and sparkling lemonade bottles into the actual table scape, it lessens the amount of floral needed, saving on costs (and waste)!

The bistro chairs, china and napkins where rented.  JL Designs decided to go a different route with the linens, they popped into a salvation army and found some great ivory sheets for $1.00 each!  one even had an adorable eyelet lace border.

JL Designs had an amazing idea to  drape all of your tables in vintage floral sheets, making each tablescape slightly different from the next but still keeping with an overall consistent color scheme and feel?   JL Designs would LOVE for one of their brides to allow them to do this for her wedding… hint hint. Who ever does this, is one smart cookie.
