Weddings are the most special occassion- aside from having children- in a couples life. And, for those that are environmentally conscious, a green wedding is something that can be every bit as elegant as a traditional. For ideas on how to go green, consider the following.
Used recycled paper for the invitations. There are many bridal boutiques that use recycled paper to print their invitations. Make sure to take advantage of this.
Use a green bridal registry. There are many eco-friendly bridal registries online that are tailored for the green bride and groom. Another idea is that instead of having your guests bring presents to the reception to donate to your favorite charity.
All in all. Its not just about wedding gown dresses or wedding bridal gowns. Though they are very important, and bridal dress must be chosen carefully from lots of wedding gown dresses or the wedding bridal gowns available out there. But again, if we go green in the wedding, we will get blessings from environment also.
Wear clothes that are recycled. Possibly a cousin or your mother’s wedding gown or one you find at a second hand store. Also, you can rent your clothing as well as the wedding party’s. Ask, each of the bridesmaids to do the same, as well as, the matron of honor.
For your wedding rings, use recycled gold. Many jewelers recycle gold. This is an excellent way to have both something valuable and something that touches the heart.
Select a wedding location close to home. The less distance the less time travel and emissions into the air. Also, consider one that is well lite with natural sunlight.
Consider a horse a carriage. This is not only romantic it does not burn gas.
Arrange a shuttle for your guests from the church to the reception hall. You can also arrange a meeting place for guests to ride the shuttle to the church. This is an excellent source in helping the environment.
Keep guests at a minimum. This will reduce the costs and the amount of food that needs to be prepared.
Use a locally grown flowers for your arrangements. This not only helps the community you can eliminate pesticides.
For your food use organic produce that is locally grown. Again, helping the community and eliminating pesticides.
Do not over cater. Waste no want not! Have enough food but not so much that there is left over’s falling off the shelf.
Keep the wedding cake elegant but simple.
Do not use throw away utensils or plates.
Induldge in an eco-friendly honeymoon. There are many honeymoons that are geared towards the eco-friendly vacation. Check with your local travel agent and ask for some brochures on the various locations.
