Once the 35 free dresses are gone, the remaining brides-to-be will be offered discounts on other denim wedding gowns, Olgniczak said. He asks, "Will you marry me?" The engagement bliss is setting in, and wedding planning is only just the beginning. Most newly engaged couples begin the creative planning stages of their anticipated wedding day within the first week of the engagement. Then reality hits... the wedding budget. After photography, flowers, catering, wedding planning services, the cake, the rings, the groom's tuxedo, one of most important items at the wedding is the bridal gown. Your dream dress may not be in your budget but if you consider buying a used wedding dress it might fit in your price range after all. When used comes to mind you may think, "The dress won't be as special," "The dress has been worn by another bride," "The Fur wedding dresses will not be one of a kind." This is not the case at all. Here are five great reasons to buy a used wedding dress. "Green" Is the New "White" when it comes to being environmentally savvy. This is not referring to finding that perfect green wedding dress, this means you are taking an initiative to purchase and own a recycled gown on your wedding day. Buying another woman's wedding gown and wearing that pre owned dress is a rather intelligent choice. You are wearing this dress once. One day, one celebration for all to see. The preowned wedding gown that you are purchasing has only been worn once. Used men in wedding dresses are just as special as never worn before wedding dresses. The gown that you are about to purchase was treated with genuine care because for someone else, like you, that dress was one of the most important aspects of the wedding to the bride.

To promote love in a time of war, Mariolka's Bridal Boutique in Boynton Beach is showing support for military personnel by donating about 35 designer wedding gowns to them or their future wives. "We had two brides come in and they couldn't afford any of the Western wedding dress," said store owner Mariolka Olgniczak. "They wanted to get married before their guys were deployed and they were moving with them and it was just heartbreaking. So I told my husband 'Let's do something.'" So the newest gowns by 10 designers, including Sophia Tolli, Mon Cheri and Maggie Sottero, valued from $1,000 to $2,500 will be available in sizes 4 to 16 for women or women whose fiances are active military, Olgniczak said.

How about spending half of your trip in relaxing hotels and half making social connections and eco-friendly choices?" Recently, Sewing for the Soil has been recognized as a social enterprise, and on that account, she will increase free eco-weddings for low income couples. She also seeks to make small changes throughout the country with eco-friendly clothes. "My next project is to change hospital patient fashionable bridal sandals. These clothes worn by patients should be healthy, but the reality is that they are just another mass-produced good made from fluorescent materials." "I'd like to appeal again to people to choose eco-friendly weddings and events if possible, thus contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions and global warming," she said. To calculate how much CO2 emission you produce through events, you can visit www.carbonforest.go.kr/tree_carbon_calcultaor. The 340,000 weddings held in Korea every year waste an average of 1,000 flowers, 1,000 liters of food and lead to up to 1,500 guests pumping out exhaust fumes from their wedding parties.

Government policies and the Kyoto protocol obligations to control CO2 emission from 2012 will make the fledgling Korean eco-market a promising sector for Sewing for the Soil.

The environmentally concerned designer involved her colleagues in designing sandals wedding shoes with corn starch, hanji, and organic nettles. "Each process of the eco wedding dress is harmless to human beings and the environment as well. I do not add bleaches or fluorescent materials," Lee said. Her wedding dresses are biodegradable, because their materials are obtained from nature and decomposed back into nature. Lee also came up with an idea of using old wedding dresses that were not being used. She reforms once-worn wedding dresses into everyday clothes. Wedding invitations are also a necessary part of a modern wedding. "I believe that even the Wedding invitation invitation cards should be eco-friendly, though it seems a small matter," she said, "Wedding bouquets are meant to celebrate the beginning of a family and should embody the theme of life. Have you ever thought about the fact that bouquet flowers a bride holds are root-cut and dead? The once gorgeous bouquets will inescapably end up as garbage." According to her, honeymoons also cause pollution. "Think about the waste and pollution produced through wedding sandals shoes, it's selfish. I suggest a fair-trade honeymoon, where the newly married think of local people and respect nature. The honeymoon I suggest is a trip doing volunteer work in local communities as well as spending a comfortable and relaxing time together," Lee says.
