Earth Day Infographic by Simply Bridal

Here's an amazing effort by SimplyBridal in support of the upcoming Earth Day.

Shelly Adams of SimplyBridal emailed wedding bloggers and other partners from around the globe and wrote this:


"To celebrate the wonder and beauty of our planet, SimplyBridal has taken the time to create a fun visual of many ways for you to have a sustainable wedding. Can you believe that 62 tons of carbon dioxide is created from the 2.5 million weddings in the United States alone?  This doesn’t even account for the 9 million weddings that are celebrated in China, can you image the figures worldwide? From the paper used for invitations, to the jewelry pieces that are worn by the bridal party SimplyBridal has thought of it all! Donate un-served food, and encourage your guest to take public transportation, do something good for our world today.

As Earth Day is April 22nd, we’d love it if you could share this infographic with the community."



More and more people from the wedding industry are really becoming more conscious of the waste created out of weddings around the world. This is also our own advocacy and we are glad to be rebels with a cause when it comes to this topic. After all, weddings are supposed to be about LOVE. So keep it mind that this love should also transcend to love for our Mother Earth.

Rebellious Bride with a BIG HEART

This Thursday, a dear friend of mine is getting married in Boracay. She also happens to be one of our clients for The Wedding Agency. We conceptualized her entire wedding which we called "By the Sea". But before we go into the details of her wedding, I'd like to zero in on what she's asking her entourage to wear. Any guesses? She's asking us, her bridesmaids, to wear a WHITE SHIRT. Yes folks. You read it correctly. A WHITE SHIRT. And she's not asking us to wear this just for the sake of being rebellious or being cool. She's asked us to wear it because it is for a worthwhile cause. In fact, Rebellious Bride Mabeth has such a big heart that she made sure to incorporate a lot of wedding details and buy products for her wedding that will go to a charity or something made proudly Pinoy.

The bride sent my shirt in a beautiful and simple Kada box which says "Wear it Forward". It had a simple sweet handwritten note, written in Kada's postcard type of card that certifies their shirt's craftsmanship and their goal to send children to school.





Kada Clothing's goal is simple. For every 20 shirts sold, they get to send a child to school. The best part? Their shirts are eco-friendly and has got to be one of the most amazing "not-so-basic" tees I've ever worn! And this is how I plan to rock my white tee during the wedding:

To pair the white shirt, the bride had us choose from her summer color wedding palette (I chose "Sunshine Yellow"), and she had customized Boho skirts made for us from proudly Pinoy brand, Brown Belly.

Established since 2006, Brown Belly has got to be one of the coolest beach bum brands in Manila that has its own cult following.

Rebellious Bride Mabeth didn't stop there. Our Rebellious Bride w/ a BIG heart also had this to give as their wedding tokens:

L-R: As a token for being part of the entourage and for helping out for the wedding, the Bride gave us Rags2Riches bags handcrafted by women from Payatas / Our very first personal note and gift!!!! So sweet and touching!!!

Mabeth got us coin purses from Rags2Riches Inc. which is an organization that ties-up with movers and shakers from the Philippine fashion industry the likes of Rajo Laurel, Amina Aranaz, Oliver Tolentino, among others, in designing eco-ethical fashion and home accessories out of up cycled scrap cloth, organic materials and indigenous fabrics by working with women living in the poor communities across the country, mostly in Payatas. The mini bag that the bride gave us even came with a personal signature of the lady who handcrafted the purse.

 Beautiful, brainy, and with a big heart. I can't wait to share Rebellious Bride Mabeth's wedding details with you all soon. Including a POWDER BLUE Hindy Weber Tantoco gown and a Vatel DIY shell bouquet.  You might also remember the bride from our The Rebellious Bride Series feature

In the meantime, here's a look at their Invitation Suite made by The Fozzy Book (Click the pic below)

Rebellious Idea: Eco-Friendly Weddings

Here in Rebellious Brides, we don't just give our own rebellious inputs, answer your letters, and feature your wedding---we also love and appreciate the fact that readers and friends take the time to suggest on what we should blog about next!  One such rebellious and brilliant idea came from Ivanna Aguiling, a proud and certified CSR Entrepreneur who suggested or "challenged" us rather, to come out with a rebellious idea on Eco-Friendly weddings.
