Wedding Trends: Eco Friendly Stationery and Wedding Invitations That Bloom
Weddings are a celebration of love, unity, and the beginning of a new chapter. As couples become more conscious of their environmental impact, the trend towards eco-friendly weddings is growing. One of the most delightful and innovative ways to embrace sustainability in weddings is through eco-friendly invitations and stationery that bloom. At Purple and Pure, we specialize in creating beautiful, plantable stationery that adds a touch of green to your special day.
The Rise of Eco-Friendly Weddings
The push towards sustainability has touched every aspect of our lives, and weddings are no exception. Couples are increasingly looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint and make their weddings more environmentally friendly. This trend includes everything from choosing sustainable venues and catering to opting for eco-friendly wedding attire. However, one of the most impactful and memorable ways to incorporate sustainability into your wedding is through your invitations and stationery.
What is Blooming Stationery?
Blooming eco friendly stationery, also known as seed paper stationery, is made from biodegradable paper embedded with seeds. When planted, the paper decomposes, and the seeds grow into beautiful plants, such as tomatoes, basil, marigolds, and fenugreek. This type of stationery not only serves its immediate purpose but also leaves a lasting, positive impact on the environment.
Benefits of Blooming Stationery
- Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled materials and completely biodegradable.
- Memorable: Provides a unique, lasting memory for your guests.
- Interactive: Engages your guests in the celebration by allowing them to plant and nurture the seeds.
- Beautiful: Adds a touch of nature's beauty to your wedding.
