Green Weddings
Hello all,
This is Auntie Dana--and my first posting! I want to give you my philosophy on this blog. We are brainstorming. All ideas are ok--we are learning from each other and, in order to do so, we need to feel safe putting out any and all random ideas and thoughts. We can love each others' ideas...or not.....kindness reigns on this blog!
I've been thinking about green weddings....
-the greenest wedding would be to have ten of your closest friends and relatives, a ceremony and a simple dinner...boy, wouldn't THAT be great for my business!
Knowing this, and knowing that most of us want a few more friends and relatives....a fun party and some dancing.....you can stay green by keeping it simple. Simple is not a lessening of quality.
Organic place cards on handmade hemp paper may seem green.....but a lovely seating chart in a frame that can be reused...and doesn't demand a million pieces of paper...is greener!
Bubbles are nice, but hey...how many of us have brought those tiny plastic bottles home to our kids...only to have them languish in the car console!...maybe we can all blow ...kisses!
Quality, simply prepared local food is greener that organics shipped in--of course, we are lucky in this area to have most produce within 50 miles, year round!
A program for the ceremony is nice....but we pick up almost every single one and put it in the recycling after the wedding....think about whether or not you need one.
Favors...If you have something that really calls out to you--that you want to give your guests...by all means do it. We love the cd compilations that our clients make. You don't have to. There are no favor police!
Just some thoughts--
