Eco-Friendly Wedding Dresses

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

For those blushing brides who want to look their absolute best on their big day without worrying about what impact their dress has on the environment, they will be pleased to hear that a new website has been launched which features wedding dresses that are produced in India and Nepal, under strict fair-trade conditions using eco and sustainable fibres and fabrics. Tamman Wedding Collection, who also offer a bespoke service as well as their internet service, were inspired to create these stunning dresses from details of Indian and Tibetan traditional dress style, mixed with futuristic ideas from creative art.

With prices starting from £450, there may be brides out there who still want to have their perfect wedding dress, do their bit for the environment, whilst keeping to a budget- and what better place to start looking than Posh-Swaps.com! Posh-Swaps is the website to swap, buy and sell unwanted clothing and accessories- so you could find yourself with a beautiful wedding dress that has only been worn the once- for FREE! And at the same time, perhaps swap it for that something in your wardrobe that you don’t wear anymore!

However, if you are a bride who has already had her perfect day, then another great way to help save the environment is to recycle your wedding dress by either swapping or selling it online. You may find that you are happy to swap it, and if your dress is worth a few hundred pounds, you may be able to negotiate a swap for a few more items of clothing- perhaps a pair of shoes, jeans, and a new top, or anything else which you have perhaps been thinking about having to update your wardrobe!

It is not just clothes that you can swap

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

Swapping is really big news at the  moment. Apart from clothes swapping there are lots of other things that you can swap. The best thing about swapping be it clothes or anything else is that you don’t have to spend any money!

Car Swapping - if you want to swap your car for a different model you can do so on www.carswap.com. If there is a difference in value, you can also exchange some cash.

Skill swapping is a great way to get some work done or benefit from someone elses skills or expertise in a particular area. Think carefully about your own skills and what you could offer for others. Some ideas to consider are baby sitting, DIY, gardening or decorating, teaching a language or musical instrument or computer skills. Try www.swapaskill.com.

House Swapping - no chain, no conveyancy fees, what a great idea. If you go through www.homeswapper.co.uk you will also save on estate agency fees although you will still need a solicitor.

Home Swapping - this is where you swap homes with someone for a holiday. It is a great way to see the world at a fraction of the cost. Go to www.homeexchange.com for more details.
