Dissolve Your Wedding {Dress}

Students at the Sheffield Hallam University in England have created biodegradable wedding dresses, currently on display at the campus museum. The dresses dissolve in water, creating five separate pieces you can wear after the wedding day!

Professor Jane Blohm assigned the project to her fashion students to examine eco-friendly alternatives in clothing design. She shared, “In order to reduce fashion’s impact on the environment, the fashion industry must begin to challenge conventional attitudes and practices. The exhibition demonstrates what could be possible when design and scientific innovation combine forces.”

The wedding reception, three meals per day per person, unlimited international drinks from 11AM to 11PM, and all taxes and fees are also included in the package. Accommodations are available in an Ocean Front Junior Suite for $355 per night or an ocean-view Private Pool Casita for $595 per night.* The Green Weeding package is available from now until December 15, 2012; guests must book by December 15, 2011. The package is available for at least 30 persons or 15 rooms, 2-night minimum. For more information and reservations, please call 1.877.238.9399 or visit our website at www.marquisloscabos.com.

    * There is a $28 cost per person for hotel-provided décor, or a $500 flat fee should the couple choose to bring their own.

    As part of the Green Hotel Program, the Green Turn Down service at Marquis Los Cabos includes replacing plastic water bottles with glasses, the option of washing the linens and towels and separate organic and non-organic waste baskets. In addition to the Green Turn Down, Marquis implements other eco-friendly practices and recycling programs that reduce the resort’s water, gas, electricity, paper consumption, and waste, including using ecologically safe laundry products from Nopal.

    Featured in National Geographic Traveler’s “Hotels with a Heart,” the Marquis Los Cabos donates five percent of the hotel’s annual revenue for the staff’s education and healthcare in its Marquis University. Since 2003, the resort has helped on average 20 employees a year obtain primary schooling and bachelor degrees.
