A green wedding not only saves our planet but saves our pockets too. Moreover, thinking that your wedding is enhancing the world will make you feel really good.
Now days people are opting for eco-friendly wedding styles over conventional weddings. With the advents of the internet and other communication couples can now be well informed to put green ideas into well-informed action to influence the environment. You can easily reduce the carbon impact of your wedding day at each point in the process of wedding. Following are some ideas to have a green wedding:
Borrow More, Spend Less
If you don’t have many feasible options within your family, you can visit antique jewelry shops and vintage stores as they have lots of choices. Wedding dress designers such as Seams Couture immaculately modify the old dresses for new brides by combining old fabric with new sustainable choices. Buy your wedding dress in person, if this is not possible then deal with only those websites which have a clear return policy in case the items are faulty.
Remain local for food, flowers and venue
We suggest planning the wedding ceremony and reception both in one location so that there is no need to travel between the destinations. She recommends parks, historical buildings or museums for venue which make for a remarkable event location along with an opportunity to repay the community.
When you make use of these facilities the rental fee or site fee normally goes back in the funds for the site preservation along with the surrounding buildings. This is a great way to contribute and help in preservation.
Also small farms are getting popular these days to host green weddings. The rental helps support the farm. Moreover, the food that is grown on the site can be used for a fresh, seasonal, local meal.
As far as flowers are considered, go local, minimalistic and seasonal. Flowers used in the wedding ceremony can be reused at reception. For centerpieces, instead of shipped flowers in single use pots, decorate the tables with living plants that can be taken home by the guests later and organic candles which fill the venue with scent and light.

Spread the Love
Choose planting seeds in place of fattening treats. Party favors are indeed a great way to thank your guests. You can even let go of tangible favors and instead make donations to a charity on the name of your guests. Nobody really needs a tiny photo frame from you anyway. Donating the money that you would have otherwise spent on favors is a wonderful approach to spread the love.
Communicate by electronic means
Save trees, money and other resources by skipping printed invitation cards. With the increasing use of internet, custom websites could turn out to be a great way to keep your guests informed and engrossed about the event well in advance. Short videos and slide shows can be used as a creative invitation. Companies such as Eventbrite let you send invites and keep a track on RSVP’s.
Connecting the guests online can help those couples who want to be even more environment-conscious regarding their gifts. Link to services such as Amazon’s Universal Wishlist helps couples to include additional store selection in order to request things which are really required beyond the usual department store gifts.
Honeymoon registries, such as Starwood’s Honey Money are more special than the gift cards. This also offers the guests a chance to contribute in once in a lifetime trips.
Everyone wants to go green. In driving, general living and even cooking habits, the world is changing and eco friendly is the way to go. So why not put these thoughts into action for your wedding?
