In these days of increasing socially and environmentally responsible attitudes, a growing number of couples are attempting to ‘Theme It Green’ when planning their nuptials. But just exactly how do you arrange an ‘Organic’ wedding?
The first and perhaps most obvious place to begin is the venue. Look for a site that is in a convenient location for the majority of the wedding party, remember that the longer this distance travelled by your guests, the greater the environmental impact will be. If you plan to have your ceremony and reception at two separate venues, ensure that the distance between them is minimal, and if possible arrange a coach or mini bus to cut down the number of vehicles travelling between the two locations.
Many couples are also now opting to create their own personalised wedding invitations, from recycled paper, and as a replacement for name cards for the seating arrangements, some have inscribed names on pebbles or even leaves for a unique impression that also helps to reduce the overall cost to the environment.
For table decorations consider making use of romantic candles and beautifully scented rose petals as an alternative to man made of plastic decorations, which can take an eternity to biodegrade.
When deciding on your floral arrangements, choose seasonal rather than imported flowers. If you a resigned to take the replica route for your table centre pieces use silk arrangements rather than plastic ones, they are more inclined to look realistic and you can offer them to your guests at the end of the reception as mementoes or keepsakes.
When planning your menu insist on locally grown organic foods that are in season and so do not have to be shipped long distance. Choose a caterer that promotes and serves organically grown produce. Aside from being a blessing to the planet, these food choices are a much healthier option for you and your guests.
