"Thinking Green" For Your Wedding
How would two environmentalists have a wedding? If they go green with their advocacy and lifestyle, there is no alternative for them but to go green with their wedding. It is not an unpopular choice for more and more people are getting involved with the green campaign. It is appropriate for this particular day and age, and now is the perfect time for alternative choices.
For those couples who are really passionate about their environmental advocacy equally matching their passion for each other, a green wedding is the ideal choice. The popular by-line of “Recyle, Renew and Re-use” can be a yardstick in making a green wedding plan particularly on your wedding reception menu. It is not only eco-friendly but may help you reduce your wedding costs.
In selecting your wedding catering company, be sure to ask them if they have locally grown organic food that they can serve for your reception. Doing so, will enable you to support small and medium scale businesses in the area and lessen transportation and labor expenses, which are valuable deductions to your wedding catering bills. This is ideal if you are having your wedding at the countryside. However, there may be some significant adjustments if it is a city wedding, where catering venue and transportation can be quite costly.
There are a handful of really important inquiries that you need to ask your wedding caterers. Do they use organic vegetables? Do they use homegrown ingredients or those that are grown in the area? Are the suppliers of their ingredients authentic organic growers? Are the meat supplied by farms using organic feeds? Are the coffee and teas organic or homegrown? Do they segregate their waste into bio or non-biodegradable? Are the paper napkins made from recycled paper or materials? Can you bring your own organic beverages including liquor?
Once you have found a wedding catering company, which is a certified organic fan, then you are gaining good progress with your green wedding. You may do away with transportation costs by having your ceremony and reception all in one place or a good walking distance away. You may also choose to arrive in a horse driven carriage similar to Cinderella. It is romantic and a pretty change from the usual limousine. You have reduced carbon emission but also saved significantly in fuel costs.
A green wedding can be doable and it is cost-effective too. You could even use your own wedding ceremony and reception as means to educate your guests to re-think their lifestyle into a more environment-friendly one.
