There is more to 'environmentally friendly' than recycling your Coke cans. Your wedding day can also be green: that is, helpful to the world around us. In their January/March issue, Carolina Bride magazine laid out several ideas for incorporating environmentally sound ideas into the wedding day. Here are some shared ideas until you pick up a copy:
1-To minimize waste, determine with your caterer how much food you will really need and check into composting programs to handle what is left over
2-Look for dresses made from hemp/silk or cotton made from pesticide-free, naturally bleached or vegetable-dyed fibers. There are post-wedding eco. ideas for your dress as well.
3-Register green: One company, GreenSage.com, has been online for four years and you can find hundreds of sustainable items for your home from beautiful recycled glass to organic bedding and furniture
4-Throw flower petals instead of confetti or bubbles
5-Choose smaller invitations and enclose RSVP postcards that require no envelopes.
6-Create a wedding Web site with directions, maps and other info. to cut down on the amount of paper used
