10 Great Eco_friendly Ideas For A Green Wedding
Ask your stationer about green options including using tree-free, recycled and recyclable paper and vegetable oil based inks. Out of town guests Calculate the mileage your guests will travel and donate to a clean energy or reforestation project that balances out the environmental impact of your travel. Transportation Have the ceremony and the reception at the same location, eliminating the need for a large group of people to travel from one place to another. If the ceremony must be in a different spot, hire a bus to bring everyone to the reception together. Ceremony Consider having your celebration outdoors. The more beautiful the natural environment, the less you'll need to spend on decorations! Flowers Try to use flowers that have been organically, locally grown. Food Hire a caterer who specializes in locally grown ingredients. Also ask about regional, organic wines and locally brewed beer. Reception venue Ask your reception manager about their green policies. Many venues are up to date on reducing and recycling programs. Wedding party fashions Try to choose styles that everyone agrees they'll want to wear again and again. Consider donating your bridal gown to a clothing charity. Keepsakes for guests Give every guest a tree seedling or a packet of wild flower seeds. Wedding website Share your enthusiasm for having a green wedding with family and friends. You'll be encouraging them to go green themselves. Every little bit of knowledge about how to help the environment helps everyone be more active about making a difference.
