Plan a green wedding!

It's no surprise that as more and more people are "going green," people are also having "green weddings." Remember, it's your wedding, so you can adjust the green "dial" up as much as you would like! Here are just a few ideas for incorporating "green" into the happiest day of your life:

• There are a variety of eco-friendly wedding invitations, place cards and thank-yous available. Whether your choose to have a professional create your inviations or make them yourself, there are many recycled and now "plantable" papers available. With plantable paper stock, the paper is made with embedded flowers and seeds. After the event, your guests can actually plant the invitation and it will bloom!
• How about organic wedding favors? One popular option is natural and organic skincare with customized labeling to commemorate your special day.

• Sustainable party favors are also becoming increasingly popular. Placecards with saplings attached are a great way to encourage your guests to "go green."
• Serve guests organic foods and wines at the wedding - make it a truly memorable experience with organic alcohol.
