The green wedding: Fashion

Reusing clothing is the most eco-friendly thing you can do. So do not hesitate to look for a dress at a consignment shop. There are many pretty dresses out there just waiting for another opportunity to shine, and you'll save money, too.

Go with Earth-friendly fabrics like hemp, fair-trade silk, organic cotton, soy knit and bamboo knit when selecting your wedding clothes.

If you don't plan on keeping your wedding dress, donate it to Brides Against Breast Cancer at bridesagainstbreastcancer.org, where it will be resold and all proceeds will go to the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation.

SHOES
Finding shoes that are good to the creatures on Earth can be tough. These lovely vegan shoes designed by Natalie Portman are just as chic as shoes made with leather. The Perla silver satin pointy-toe pumps are $285 at tecasan.com (LINK).
