Wondering how you can reduce the carbon footprint of you and your guests on your wedding day? Below are a few ideas that can help your day be greener, while still being stylish and uniquely yours.

  • Choose recycled invitations, thank you cards and place cards.
  • Use locally grown flowers.
  • Select an outdoor venue for the ceremony to reduce the need of artificial lighting.
  • Keep the reception close to the ceremony location for less fuel usage.
  • Develop a menu of locally and organically grown food.
  • Decorate with natural products and keep paper or synthetic products to a minimum.
  • Give guests plantable party favors, such as seed packets that can grow just as your marriage does.
