Being "Eco-Friendly" or even just "Eco-Conscious" is not just the latest trend; it's the right thing to do! When you are planning your wedding there are many things you can do to make your big day Green.
I love outdoor ceremonies. Now maybe this is because I live in the Colorado Mountains, but there is just something about outdoor ceremonies that I enjoy. By not using the AC and other electricity needed to fuel an indoor event you are being more green by just going outside. Of course there is always the possibility of rain...so plan a back up just in case.
As your ceremony begins let your flower girl toss Plantable Confetti Flowers instead of typically silk flower petals. When thrown outside the paper confetti will grow wildflowers!! (Be sure to get approval from your venue before tossing them).
After the "kiss" your guests can get the party started with Biodegradable, Celebratory Wedding Poppers. They are a great alternative to throwing Rice at weddings!
Be sure to use decorations that can be reused. I attended a recent wedding reception that used gorgeous potted flowers as centerpieces. One person from each table got to take one home. That guest was able to "reuse" the centerpieces and it created less waste at the end of the event.
Eco-Friendly Favors are easy to find. Plantable Flower Seed Wedding Favors are a wonderful favor for your guests. Not only are they just adorable, many can be personalized and each guest can take them home and plant the seeded paper. The seeded paper will grow wildflowers and give your guests a constant reminder of your special day.
Natural Bamboo Eco-Friendly Coasters are another great eco-friendly favor idea. Bamboo is a symbol of luck and success because of its strength, resilience and ability to grow quickly. It is said that bamboo is luckiest when you receive it as a gift, which makes these beautiful. Direct your guests to their seats with Eco-Friendly Bamboo Place Card Holder with Matching Place Cards
After the big day thank your guests with Plantable Thank Your Notes. They will appreciate your gratitude and enjoy the flowers that grow from the seeded paper.
When trying to go green for your wedding remember that there are many easy ways to incorporate Eco-Friendly themes through out your wedding. Just look at each part of your planning and think...how can I simplify this? Can this be re-used, is it really a practical favor for my guests. You'll find planning a eco-friendly wedding isn't so hard after all!
