Simple Green Wedding Tips

Maybe you aren’t ready for a completely green wedding. However, there are some eco-friendly practices that you can easily incorporate into your special day.
Go Local
Use locally grown and seasonal flowers, wine and other foods purchased from community markets, rather than exotics shipped and grown in foreign locations. Also have your wedding locally rather than a destination wedding.
Incorporate Nature
Use live trees that can be planted later as centerpieces and other decorations. You can donate them to a local charity, school or other organization. This is much better than cut flowers that will just be tossed at the end of the night.
Skip the Wedding Favors
Instead of buying token favors for your wedding guests that they will likely throw away, give a donation to a green charity in the names of your guests. Be sure to make an announcement at the reception to let people know about the donation. You don’t want people thinking you are just cheap or forgot the favors. If you really want favors, consider potted plants, plantable paper, flower bulbs and other green wedding favors.
