Green: The new white?

Next time you think "wedding", you may have a new color on your mind: GREEN.

In the face of today's climate crisis, more and more couples are choosing to adopt eco-friendly ideas when planning their wedding. We, for one, sure don't want our events contributing to these record setting temperatures that are keeping us from enjoying the cities we love.

Here are some of our favorite ideas:

-invitations printed on recycled paper using eco-solvent ink
-vintage wedding dresses (recycling at it's best!), You can find these at Once Wed.
-organic wine, possibly an organic caterer.
-locally grown produce
-custom wedding bands crafted from recycled gold
-skip the tissue paper in your invitations
-favors can be small local herbs planted in recycled containers
-request charitable donation instead of gifts - ouch :(
