A Green Wedding - Conserving Earth's Resources On Your Wedding Day
If you are planning to have a green wedding then you have made a good choice for the future of your will-be children
. It is the best way to quietly but forcefully tell the world about your hope that your children will grow up in a society that knows the value of the environment and will do its best to protect it. Besides that hint of idealism, a green wedding may be a little easier on the purse.
Part of the concept of 'green' is the fact that we have to spend within our means. Overspending is also an abuse of sorts. The only reason no issues have been brought up about it is that the only victim of overspending is our own self. A green wedding will be best done in your own yard on the condition that your front lawn or your back lawn will be big enough to accommodate a few guests
As much as possible the green wedding place itself and the location of the reception should be close to each other. This will minimize the amount of travel that your guests will need to undertake. This goes towards reducing their energy usage.
Encourage your friends to pick up one another on the way to the wedding. This is to minimize the need to use cars to go to the wedding. One reason you might want to give is that your driveway can only fit so many vehicles.
Friends who stay miles away from you place should be informed about the wedding weeks before. Since you wouldn't want them to drive all the distance just to attend your wedding, you need to give them time to adjust their schedules so that on their way to another appointment, they can drop in and attend the ceremony.
The use of recycled paper for your invitation cards is also recommended for green wedding celebrations. There is recycled paper that is charmingly colored and enhanced with floral inclusions. These are especially appropriate for wedding invitation cards.
Have your invitations hand-written. Printing uses up electricity and printer ink is chemically imbued. Besides you will be sending distinctive-looking invitations and helping a talented person out by paying him for his penmanship.
A green wedding also implies that you should create your own wedding attire. Fixing up an old but elegant dress with the right accessories and lace should make it good enough to wear as a wedding gown. Simple attire is also a prerequisite of a green celebration, as is the use or organic rather than synthetic materials. If you can't find anything wearable among your old dresses, you could purchase a second-hand wedding gown. Have it redone and redecorated by a seamstress if you want. After the wedding, donate it to organizations that accept such gifts. Your gown will be useful for another bride in the future.
You should offer only health foods to your guests for the reception, As much as possible serve vegetable and fish dishes. It would be better if you were to purchase your vegetables from a source that you know doesn't use pesticides and chemical fertilizers on them. It would be so convenient if you have your own vegetable patch at home. Then you wouldn't have to go out of your way to find clean and fresh veggies to serve.
