Make Your Wedding Color Green
Just imagine how much trash 200 wedding guests make – that’s 200 plastic champagne glasses festering in a landfill, 200 styrofoam wedding cake plates depleting our ozone layer…the list goes on and on.
With people increasingly becoming more eco-friendly, weddings are coming under scrutiny. Weddings are beautiful events, so helping the Earth stay beautiful too will only enhance your wedding. There’s different ways to have an eco-friendly wedding, so choose the one that’s right for you. Many brides choose alternative wedding registries like charities – just choose your favorite environmentally conscious charity for your wedding guests to donate to.
Other couples, as mentioned in TheTelegraph.com article “Saying ‘I Do’ to a ‘Green’ Wedding” are making their entire wedding green. Rachel McCalla and Matt Fernandes’ had their wedding at the Missouri Botanical Garden and offered guests tours of the building and tips for making their own homes more eco-friendly.
Eco-friendly wedding tips include:
-
Local Food Growers – Using locally grown food for your wedding can benefit your local community and the environment by recycling all leftover food.
-
Flowers – Rather than have plastic wedding decorations, flowers are both beautiful and eco-friendly alternatives.
-
Online Invitations – Nearly everyone has an email address these days, so why not send your wedding invitations online? They still look beautiful, and this way you don’t waste any paper!
-
Eco-Friendly Wedding Favors – Edible wedding favors make the perfect environmentally friendly wedding favors – the only place they end up is in your guest’s happy stomachs!
Eco-friendly weddings may be the trendy wedding style right now, but they’re definitely fulfilling a need – if we want our Earth to be around as long as our wedding memories, we need to incorporate environmental awareness into every aspect of our lives.
