Planning Your Own Green Wedding

Helping to preserve the environment is in vogue for a reason. Couples have been made aware of the environmental impact that some types of wedding celebrations may cause. Thanks to Al Gore, who has driven people to move as regards saving the environment, there are now several strategies that people in the whole world have thought of and one of these is for couples to have green weddings. Here’s how to have your own:

•    Send green wedding invitations which means by using recycled paper when the recipient is in a nearby location but email it instead of sending it via air mail. You’ll save trees with this strategy.
•    Choose a location where you won’t have to go by train or plane. Your guests can use carriages instead. It can also be held right at your own backyard, garden, or in an outdoor venue where you won’t be needing electricity. If your guests would have to ride cars to go to the venue, make sure that they are using hybrid cars and that they can go to the venue by carpooling.
•     Use flowers that are organically grown. This will help a lot in reducing the carbon emission of importing flowers from another city. They also help the livelihood of local flower growers.
•    The bride can use a bridal gown that’s made from organic materials like hemp and cotton while the bridesmaids can use second-hand gowns. The bride may also opt for a gown that’s handed down from her grandmother.
