WEDDINGS ARE GOING GREEN

Green weddings are getting more and more popular. Some people want a totally green wedding while some are choosing to just do a little something that is ecologically friendly.

I get asked all of the time for ideas on "green" planning!!!

I have created a guideline to help you get started!

~Wedding Gown - Think Vintage --- or wear your mother’s, grandmother’s dress or borrow one from a friend.

~Invitations - Buy invitations made with recycled paper.

~Food : Serve vegetarian and organic entrees. Donate left over food instead of throwing it out.

~Flowers: Find a florist that uses flowers from local organic farms.

~Programs: Print programs on recycled paper. Limit programs to one per couple instead of one per person.

~Favors: Give bookmarks made of recycled paper or cloth, seed packets or tree saplings.

~Venues: Choose a reception venue close to your ceremony venue, or choose a site that will accommodate both your ceremony and reception. Minimize the amount of driving your guests will need to do.

If we all make simple little changes, our earth will remain clean and safer for generations to come.
