Featured Article:  Going Green…You can have a stylish wedding with a limited ecological impact (continued)

   You can have the wedding of your dreams and still be environmentally responsible. Keep in mind the three Rs – reduce, reuse, and recycle – as you plan your wedding and you’ll be well on your way to reducing the environmental footprint of your wedding day. These ideas will get you started:

  • Invitations are a great place to start. Consider using recycled paper stock, or unique Invitation designs that eliminate the need for separate envelopes.
  • Reuse. As you talk with your caterer, ask questions about linens, place settings, and glassware. The fewer disposable items, the better!
  • Look at natural fabrics for your - and the bridesmaids' - dresses. Silk is a beautifully natural choice and some designers are even using cotton in oh-so-elegant dresses that look rich and luxurious.
  • Consider an outdoor wedding to reduce the need for lots of decorations. Let Mother Nature take care of it!
  • Use potted plants as centerpieces rather than cut flowers. Invite special guests, or the wedding party, to keep a plant as a memento of the day.
