Go Green!!!


Go Green? For a wedding? Why not! This inspiring trend has taken over the globe. Going green simply means that you have taken part in the initiative to conserve and improve the Earth's environment. Hmmmm...what can a wedding party do to go green? I'm glad you asked :). Going green does not mean you day has to look and feel like a hand-me-down event. There are several inexpensive ways to to have a "green wedding". Let's begin:
  1. Invitations and Save the Date: When going green, make sure the invitations are made with recycled paper and envelopes. Twisted Limb Paperworks, is an paper design distributed that is dedicated to producing eco-friendly paper products. All of their products are handmade with 100% recycled paper. Twisted Limb gives you the choice of full service printing and assembly or easy do-it-yourself (DIY) invitations.
  2. Venue: Eco-friendly venues...does that exist? Of course it does. Places such as museums, aquariums, botanical gardens, and organic farmland are great places to host weddings. There are also green hotels that offer activities and services for the greater good. How many weddings have you attended where there was a massive amount of leftover food? Green hotels will donate all leftover food to shelters...how cool is that! Another great location is beach or lakeside weddings. The natural beauty of this scenery is breath-taking and easy on the pockets, since you won't need much decor.
  3. Favors: Memories, memories, memories. You always want you occasion to e as memorable to your guest as it was to you. In today's trends, wedding favors range from candy buffets to scented candles, all of which could also serve its purpose as you go green. Little Things Favors has 75 wedding favors for you to choose from. Whether you want soothing gifts such as the beeswax candles or planted memories of the magic bean, Little Things Favors has it all.
