The Green Wedding

We are finding a new trend where everyone at a wedding wear the same color? Such as an all white wedding. But let's say your passion is for the environment. So green is your color. This will make a cool statement and remind everyone that it is not easy being green. Or will it just add stress to your day? We are all about saving the earth, but this request seems a little self indulgent then sensible. It's tough enough for a guest to pull together an appropriately fab dress without having to deal with other restrictions. Plus not all colors look good on everyone. With today's social media instant post-a-gram who wants an unattractive picture roaming the world wide web FOREVER of them. YIKES! Instead of locking your guest into a color how about using flowers locally grown, an organic menu and in lieu of favors make a donation to your favorite eco-charity in honor of your guest.

The Iconic Dress of Princess Diana

Growing up, I remember the wedding of the beautiful Princess Diana. Such grace, classic beauty and the dress that changed the wedding fashion industry in an instant. This was the most publicized wedding of the decade. People around the world stopped to watch. Plates with their images were made and displayed in homes around the world. Most had never seen a train as long.

Now that her son is turning 30 years old and with Diana's will being followed, the dress will be returned home. It is an amazing dress, with so much history. It will be interesting to see the story of this dress continue.

The Huffington Post  | By Emily Thomas

Princess Diana had a big present in store for her son Prince Harry’s 30th birthday: her wedding dress.

As stipulated in the late princess' will, the iconic gown will officially be inherited by both of Diana's sons -- Prince William gets to share -- on Harry's big day, Sept. 15, TODAY reports.Posted: 09/03/2014 1:22 pm EDT Updated: 09/03/2014 1:59 pm EDT

Then-Lady Diana Spencer wore the stunning ivory silk and taffeta lace gown, designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, during her 1981 nuptials to Prince Charles. The royal couple recited their vows at St. Paul's Cathedral in London in front of hundreds of millions who tuned in to watch on TV.

The Victorian style dress, which was hand-embroidered with over 10,000 tiny mother-of-pearl sequins and pearls, boasted a 25-foot-long train -- the longest in royal history, according to the National Constitution Center.

Needless to say, the dress became an instant legend. It has recently been on a tour around the world and was regularly displayed at her family's estate, Althorp, in Northampton, while in Diana's brother's possession. Women's Day reports there's a hope the princes will put it back on display at Kensington Palace in London, where Diana lived.
