Green Wedding
23 May 2009
The question has been asked and answered and now your wedding day looms ever closer. You want to make it that perfect day with the perfect moment that you have always imagined, but what is the dream anymore? The picture perfect weddings with doves and huge cathedrals are the stuff of fairy tales and most little princesses anymore work full time and cannot afford them. If you are someone who has been environmentally conscious, you could consider a green wedding as a way to cement your vows to your spouse and the world. Moreover, you can do it without taking out a second loan!
A green wedding is a very simple concept all you do is keep the environment in mind while making all the preparations. Large gatherings of people can upset the balance of certain ecosystems and waste can be the name of the game during preparation and execution of the ceremony. Consider the paper waste from invitations and the pesticides that are commonly used on the grass for outside ceremonies or receptions.
There are many things you can do to ensure an environmentally as well as economically sound green wedding. The manner in which you shop for rings, your reception plans, food and drink are all areas that can be green activities.
As far as your apparel goes, many of those who have green weddings ave dresses that are made of natural fibers, such as hemp, or else they dress something up that is already in their closet or that they can wear again. Wedding dresses are often wasted, and they tend to take up a lot of space in the garbage heap as well, so it is best that they be used more than once if they must be used at all. If you want to buy a brand new dress for your wedding, try to pick a dress that you can actually foresee having to ever wear again in the span of your life, at least.
Save the earth a little bit at time by using some of these green wedding tips:
* Never discount the pawnshop as a potential place to purchase your wedding rings. They often have antique rings available much cheaper than the jewelers do.
*Choose biodegradable tableware for your green wedding. Both the environment and the coordinator will thank you and you will save water in the bargain.
*You may prefer to have real dishes and that is okay too, just try to find a caterer that will rent them to you. You will not have to concern yourself with the dishes and you can prevent the landfills from overflowing with plastic cups and forks.
*Consider having the wedding and the reception at the same place, if there is any possible way. Your guests will not have to waste gas driving between the two locations, they likely will not change clothes and the pollution in the air will be decreased since no one will have to drive to attend your reception.
*Having a green wedding shouldn’t stop you from having creative wedding ideas
