Try these easy tips to make your wedding more earth friendly!
Caterer: Ask him/her to use more organic and seasonal ingredients and make sure they remember to recycle after the reception.
Favors: Make a favorable donation to an environmental chairty, like Greenpeace, or give the gift of a small tree seedling.
Flowers: Ask your florist to use certified organic flowers and avoid spraying with chemical pesticides. You can point your florist to a great company called Organic Bouquet.
Invitations: Use 100% recycled paper and soy-based ink from a company like Green Paper Studio.
Place Cards: Get inspired by the outdoors and print guest names on leaves tied with ribbon or on small stones that guests can either return to a river or add to their home gardens.

Don't forget the photographer! There are a lot of eco-friendly album companies/products now. Also, they should use rechargeable batteries. Ask them what they do to reduce waste in their industry, since we are always going though samples, running our computers, etc. There are also green photographer guides out there too.All of my framing is eco-friendly. My albums are produced in NY state and offer non-leather alternatives. I also carry a specific eco-friendly line of products for my Green weddings. Not to mention that I'm a vegetarian (that is one of the most green things you can do, so be sure to give your guests the option!).My favorite favor/centerpiece idea has been potted herbs or plants for each table. A great centerpiece that guests can take home at the end of the night.
