When my husband and I got married it was important to us to minimize waste (both physical and monetary) and to reduce and reuse as much as possible.  In the spirit of being green, I bought a damaged dress and had it refashioned and my husband wore a tuxedo that once belonged to his great uncle. Instead of having the members of our bridal party all wear the same dress, or even the same color, we give them a color pallet and let them choose something they could wear again.  My husband and I made the color card out of scraps of fabric and recycled magazines and sent a digital picture to everyone in the party.  My sister Eve - standing next to my husband - chose to wear the same dress she wore to my brother's wedding and my nieces picked dresses they could wear to other parties.  Even though the colors and styles were so different the result was beautiful!
