Celebrate Your Wedding in Eco Style

I recently went to a wedding in Colorado that encompassed eco-friendly elements. The wedding ceremony took place outside requiring no electricity, and while held in the same place as the reception, no extra driving was needed. Also, some of the hors d’ oeuvres were served on bamboo sticks, which is a renewable material.
There are many other ways to incorporate green into your wedding. Starting with the rings, one way to offset purchasing conflict-free diamonds (for info, visit www.amnestyusa.org/diamonds) is with family heirlooms or antique finds.
Having one location for both the ceremony and reception, perhaps a unique and local setting (i.e. art gallery, garden, organic restaurant) is a good way to compensate any environmental impact. (more…)
