Setting The Tone
Set the tone of our green wedding by choosing an Eco-friendly location. If an outdoor wedding is up your alley,
select a location that will show off the beauty of the environment. If we prefer an indoor location, check out local museums or art galleries that will donate our deposit to a good cause.
Choose Eco-Friendly Rings
When it comes to selecting a ring, make sure to use jewelers that are green-friendly. To make sure we are not purchasing a “blood diamond,” ask our jeweler about the origin of the stone.
Use Local Vendors
Selecting area vendors is a great way to keep the transportation emissions low and support our local economy. If we are interested in using a green wedding planner, check our local listings — they’re popping up all over the country.
Re-Use A Wedding Dress
Though our wedding dress may be our most treasured item of our wedding, there are many ways we can be Eco-friendly when it comes to choosing a dress. First is the age-old tradition of wearing our mother or grandmother’s dress. Take it to a local seamstress to transform it into our own special dress.
Photography: Go Digital
Even though almost photographers are using digital cameras, it’s a must for a green wedding.Digital photos do not utilize the harsh chemicals, wasted paper, and rolls of film that film photography does.Another plus is we get to choose exactly what images we want printed. Ask our photographer if they allow we to keep the digital images after the wedding is complete, then we can save a digital album of our big day.
Use Recycled Paper
Using recycled paper is an easy way to design green invitations or programs. Ask our vendors if they can print on recycled paper or recycle the leftover scraps.
Home-Grown Flowers
For our flowers, select a local organic florist to arrange our centerpieces and bouquets. For a summer wedding, use farmers’ market finds to design bouquet and table arrangements, or use potted plants which can be given away to our attendants at the end of our big day.
Choose An Organic Menu
Ask our caterers if they can provide vegetarian and organic entrees. Also consider what we are dining on. If our location doesn’t provide dishes, consider renting them to avoid using disposable plates.
Favors
Instead of favors, let our guests know that we have donated a specified amount per guest toward our favorite environmental organization.
Use SlideShare presentations to deliver our brand’s concise, clear, and focused message. Be sure what we want to convey, have it consistent with our identity to help build our credibility and trust with our target audience. After we have done this, deliver our message in a very intriguing way. We can also use SlideShow presentations to explain relevant information related to our niche. It empowers our audience to know more about the nature of what we are doing and why we are doing it.
