How To Have A “Green” Wedding

A wedding can be an ultimate exercise in overindulgence. We spare no expense, or assault on the environment, to ensure that our wedding day is perfect. More and more, we are becoming aware of how our actions can effect the environment and more brides are looking for ways to have their perfect day while still demonstrating environmental and social consciousness. Here are few ways to make your wedding “green.”

The Venue

The venue is one of the easiest and more obvious ways to go green – marry outdoors!! This eliminates the need for electricity and allows you and your guests to appreciate the beauty of natural surroundings. To make this comfortable for your guests, you should consider marrying during a time of year when the climate is comfortable. No matter the time of year, nature provides the perfect backdrop for a wedding. In the spring, you have beautiful new blooms and in the fall, you have an array of oranges, reds, and browns to work with.

If outdoors is not an option, choose a site that will benefit from your event rental fee such as a nature sanctuary, museum, art gallery or school.

The Dress

Thanks to designers like Adele Wechsler, even your wedding dress can be green!! The gowns are made with organic hemp and silk materials and will be available in Fall 2008. The Olivia Luca Design Studio, where YOU design your own dress, also offers organic fabrics.

Green Dresses may not work for those brides dreaming of a big beautiful ball gown as the emphasis in on simplicity with eco-friendly dresses.

Catering

There are several ways to be eco-conscious in this area. You can ask your caterer to use organic, locally grown produce, free range/organic meats, locally brewed beer and organic wine. You should also work with your caterer to avoid over-catering, preparing substantially more food than what is necessary. If you have leftovers, you can donate them to a local food bank, homeless shelter or soup kitchen.

You can also insist on using washable dinnerware and avoid disposable napkins, glasses, plates, etc.

Favors

In lieu of traditional favors, make a donation in your guest’s name to an eco-friendly charity. You can also give favors that are helpful to the environment, such as having trees planted in your guest’s honor, notes written on plantable paper or give tree seedlings that your guests can plant in their gardens.

Flowers

Ask your florist about using locally grown flowers – they travel less, provide local jobs for your community and arrive fresher. If you must have a bloom that is only grown internationally, insist on fair trade/organic flowers. A little known secret of the flower industry is that flowers are such a high value crop that they are often doused with dangerous, potentially cancer causing, chemicals to make them perfect. The conditions for workers in the international flower market are deplorable with several of them being exposed to dangerous chemicals, long hours and extremely hard labor.

If you are skipping the florist and doing your own flowers, the online wholesaler Organic Bouquet offers organic blooms.

Invitations & Stationery

You could skip invitations altogether and opt for an Evite. However, most brides will be unwilling to part with paper invitations and in that case, I recommend using recycled paper for your invitations and using soy or vegetable based ink for printing. There are companies such as Naturally Ever After that offer 100% natural, recycled invitations and printers (try Greener Printer) that print using eco-friendly ink.

You can also cut down on unnecessary enclosures by posting directions and asking guests to RSVP on your wedding website or by telephone.

Programs are not a necessary wedding component, but if you must have them, opt for recycled paper and only provide one per couple rather than one per guest. The same is true for menu cards.

Instead of escort cards, you could write or paint your guest’s names and seating assignments onto frosted votives. Or you could write/paint their names onto ribbons tied to organic flower stems. Another option is to have a large, framed poster with seating arrangements rather than individual cards.

Transportation

Unfortunately, hybrid limos are not yet available but there are still a few eco-friendly options for your wedding day. The best option would be to choose a site that eliminates the need for transportation by having the ceremony and reception all in one place. If that is not possible, choose ceremony and reception sites that are within walking distance of one another or travel by horse and buggy!

Jewelry

This is one category where everyone can participate. Popular culture has been flooded with information on the diamond industry lately. Movies like “Blood Diamond” and music artists such as Kanye West have publicized the violent conditions under which diamonds are mined. Fortunately, you can avoid such diamonds by ensuring that the diamonds used in your wedding rings are conflict-free. You can also ensure that the gold used in your rings is recycled.

How Is Geology Used in Everyday Life

Geology is a field of science that examines the physical components of the earth’s surface and how they change and evolve over time. While most people do not think much about geology, it is a subject that impacts everyday life in major ways. Geology not only produces the fuels that we used everyday, but it also creates the foundation on which we live our lives.

#1 – Solid Ground

Geology impacts how solid the earth beneath our feet is. While the ground that we walk on, build on and travel over seems solid, it is actually floating on top of a core of molten iron and magma. The stability of the earth under our feet impacts the ability of humans to build structures and infrastructures.

#2 – Produces Fuels

Geological processes produce fuels that we use everyday to drive and operate our homes and businesses. Fossil fuels, for example, are produced by applying extreme pressure and heat to organic materials that have been buried by sediments. These conditions are maintained over millions of years before the fuels are ready to be used by humans.

#3 – Produces Gems

Gemstones are also produced by geological processes. Gemstones are used primarily for decoration, but they also play a role in our economy. Gemstones are very valuable and used as investments and as a raw material for many trades including jewelry manufacturing industries.

Diamonds in particular are extremely valuable because of their strength and their beauty. Natural diamonds tend to be used as decorative objects that have a high wholesale and retail value. Manmade diamonds are much smaller and are generally used for manufacturing cutting blades and other products.

#4 – Impacts Our Safety

Geological concepts greatly impact our safety on a daily basis. Many hazards that humans face are caused by geological forces and processes. Earthquakes, for example, are produced by shifts in the earth’s tectonic plates. Other hazards that are influenced by geology include landslides, floods and volcanic eruptions. An understanding of these principles is necessary to mitigate dangers and to keep communities safe.

#5 – Building Sites

The type of rocks and soils that are present impact how the land can be used. In order to build a large development the developers need to find a location that will be stable enough to support such a structure. If the conditions are not naturally available, then the developer will need to design artificial stabilizers which add to the cost of the product.

#6 – Basis of the World’s Economy

Gold is the basis of the world’s economy. It is mined, smelted, molded and traded around the globe. It is customary for governments to hold enough gold in their treasuries to match the amount of paper money and coinage that they produce. When these ratios are out of balance then the value of the paper money and coinage is decreased in the global market.

Conclusion

Geology is a critical part of everyday life. It impacts the materials that we have available to work with, the amount of energy we can use and the safety of our communities. It is because of all of these factors that it is important to learn about geology.

Different Types of Costume Jewelry

You’ve had some. You’ve worn some. You may have even sold some, but do you really know the characteristics of fashion costume jewelry wholesale? To really know what it is, you first have to know what it is not. There are three different types of jewelry which we will discuss.

Fine Jewelry

This type of jewelry is the most commonly heard of. It is made with precious metals and set with precious gemstones such as ruby, sapphire, emerald, or diamond. Engagement rings and diamond-studded earrings fall into this category.

Bridge Jewelry

This type of jewelry “bridges” the gap between fine and costume jewelry. Usually, bridge jewelry is made of sterling silver. If it is set with and gemstones, they are the semi-precious ones. Pretty much any gemstones that are not in the fine jewelry category will go in this one.

Costume Jewelry

This type of jewelry is made with base metals that are gold or silver plated and is normally set with glass stones or crystals. The term ‘costume’ came into use in the 1930s thanks to movie producer Cecil B. Demille.

Being that fashion costume jewelry wholesale or cheap costume jewelry is not made from precious metals or gemstones people think that it is low-cost. This is not true. Up to 5,000 dollars has been paid for a piece of fashion jewelry.

Bakelite jewelry is considered very rare and very popular to collectors. If you have a high quality piece of Bakelite jewelry you could get thousands of dollars for it. Though it is cheaply made, don’t discount this type of jewelry for its high prices on the collector’s market.

Wholesale Body Jewelry

Wholesale jewelry is transforming elegantly in the past couple of decades. A lot of wholesale body jewelry manufacturers today offer a lot more unique and creative pieces to cater to any taste and preference of the customer. In the past, costume jewelry was made of plastic; lapidary for semi precious jewelry; Murano glass for art galleries; while shell jewelry was the staple for those in the beaches. Classic new look derived from the ‘40s and ‘50s have consumed the lines, and divided wholesale jewelry.

Wholesale jewelry now has a new look as natural components and man-made art have been used in delivering top notch beauty. There is now a blur in the categories of jewelry. Gemstones, for instance, are accessorizing red with green and coral colors. Most fashion publications now underline the relevance of gemstone in current fashion.

Adding natural beauty to wholesale jewelry is just one factor why gemstones are in demand, along with wholesale stainless steel jewelry and wholesale titanium jewelry. Opening up a wide array of colors and designs are talented glass art experts. Each design is excellent produced with unique beads making use of swirls of colors, suspended gold, silver foil, and sparking islands of metal particles shimmering like goldstone. Such beauty inspires artisans to expand on their designs, incorporating Murano styled glass jewelry in making even better designs.

With the rolling out of spring, fashion is even more vibrant in terms of designs. Bright colors are creating excitement such as bright fuschia, yellow, orange, red, and apple green. Wholesale jewelry once more provides a way for the provision of stunning accessories.

Another trendy accessory are dyed shells with its vibrant colors of fuchsia, orange, yellow, and lime in items like necklaces, earrings, and bracelet. This is however not just another trendy item for teens, since fashionable designs that emphasize the distinct beauty of the sea are very much in. Bright orange bracelets that have trochus shell mixed with a dramatic pendant of mother of pearl, or perhaps a large capiz shell are very much in fashion. The designs are exceptional while bright colors are natural.

The trend for classic designs is definitely making wholesale jewelry, including wholesale titanium jewelry and wholesale stainless steel jewelry more in demand. However, another thing is also blurring the lines between fine and fashion jewelry. Luxurious items are now in demand with the global creation of wealth. And what is a better way of expressing luxury than diamonds?

But there’s a problem since there is a limited supply of luxury items like diamonds. While the supply is short, the demand is constantly up. This leads to the constant jacking up of prices. The demand for luxurious designs has prompted skilled craftsmen in making more realistic designs that are placed in plated metals added with cubic zirconia. Meanwhile, fine jewelers are providing customers an option for CZ s in order to control the cost. Once more we are seeing new wholesale jewelry that is hard to distinguish with a specific category name.
