Eco Green is an environmentally conscious, back to basics wedding theme. Starting with bridal wear and groom attire, ransack thrift stores to give a new lease of life to a second-hand wedding dress or a retro suit. Hold your reception at a wine producing estate at the heart of the Provencal countryside amongst vineyards, fields of flowers and olive trees. Ditch the traditional wedding car for a tandem bicycle and put on shuttle busses for guests to avoid them each taking a car. Create a 100% organic menu, using local produce and seasonal fruit & veg. For the colour scheme, mix fresh shades of green with olive green and yellow tones . For decoration think wood, pebbles, natural fibres such as cotton and linen, coconut husk carpeting, and lots of plants and foliage. Send invites and save the dates by email and print menus and programmes on recycled paper.
I plan on writing a series of articles with different themeing ideas for weddings on the French Riviera for which I will use the South of France countryside as inspiration. For my first article, I didn’t want to go for the typical Cote d’Azur coastline as my point of reference so I have chosen Provence and it’s picturesque lavender fields instead.
