Green Wedding

I have just been invited to a wedding a they are planning on saving some money and maintain a low ceremony. Although they may be calling it as cost cutting, I opt for a better a idea: A green Wedding.

Here are some tips that I have learned and gathered in celebrating a greener wedding.

everything you buy or rent for your wedding will have an environmental and social impact, so keep this notion high on the list when planning. Can you encourage caterers to use organic produce? What is your dress made of? How was the gold in the rings mined? Did those tasty little gift bags of chocolate involve slave labor? Even if you can’t establish the green credentials of every single supplier, at least by asking questions about such issues you are already making a difference.

Remember though, what is green may not always be obvious–while a hemp suit may be a good eco-statement, if it is going to sit in the closet for most of your married life, you could be much better off with a traditional rental service. Similarly, party rentals for things like linens and glasses are a classic example of a product service system–something we are very keen on here at TreeHugger. They provide the perfect means for getting the most use out of minimal resources. And don’t forget your local thrift store–ball jars make excellent vases and a pre-loved wedding dress can get you a classic look at a fraction of the price.

Green your transportation by inviting them to use the bus; drive through the venue using bikes. Make sure your venue is also not too far. . If you are a little ways out of town, why not provide shuttle buses—that way you don’t have to worry about drunk driving either

Green your giveaways wrapping paper for your wedding party gifts. These beautiful gift bags are a great way to wrap your gifts in an earth-friendly way.

There are so many ways for you to think of in creating a greener wedding. This way you can also create a guilt free occasion. Help save the environment with little things.

    These are some really good ideas. I think it’s important for people to start thinking green. It’s also important for people to know that just because it’s green doesn’t mean it’s expensive.
