Green Scents for Your Wedding Day
NO – not all perfumes are eco-friendly in their ingredients – but some have better packaging, some are made right here in the United States (or in a city where you live around the world). What about making your perfume? Then there are also amazing companies and that donate their proceeds to non-profits. Check out some of our faves!
We love Clean! The smell is light and airy! Made right here in the US!
Of course – we are in love with just about anything that comes from Aveda and we love the subtle fragrance of love from their line. Aveda is the leader in eco-friendly fragrances and cosmetics!
We picked up one of these and adore them! The roller ball perfume from Love and Toast is perfect for your bridesmaids and easy to just pop in your purse! A portion of the proceed goes to Girls, Inc. – which inspires girls to be “Smart, strong and bold.”

{Recap!} Go Green, Why Knot!

Eco-chic gowns & beauty products galore! That was the name of the game at last weeks Adele Wechsler & Aveda co-hosted event, ‘Go Green, Why Knot!‘ in Washington, DC! Ms. Katie Martin along with the POLISHED team had the pleasure of attending!
Models decked out in Adele’s new eco-friendly collection greeted guests, while showing off their springy gowns! Eco-brides & grooms learned a few tips about how they can green their wedding from health & beauty tips from Aveda specialists to tasting some delicious vegan treats from Sticky Fingers Bakery and even learning a few tricks as to how to keep their mother’s under control with Katie ! We even had a few moments for a quick photo op with Adele Wechsler’s Katie Sturino! The event was a complete success!
Cheers!
