Try these ideas for your Green Wedding.When choosing a caterer, consider an organic company that uses locally sourced ingredients and certifies that any fish served comes from sustainable fishing sources and is MSC certified. You will be supporting local farmers and will reduce the carbon emissions generated in transporting the food long distances and when you're done, donate any unused food to shelters or food banks.
Use flowers from your ceremony and from the bridal party to decorate the reception area.
Or, instead of flowers, consider using other items as the focal point of your table centerpieces, like candles, stones, or shells. Please be sure that all items chosen, in particular, shells, are sourced from vendors that assure they were harvested responsibly.
Set up a vanpool from the hotel for out of town guests to ride to the ceremony and the reception.
Use recycled paper for your invitations and thank you notes, and when possible, paper that is certified that it comes from sustainable forestry programs.
