Eco Wedding: Food and Flowers

Earthsense

You’re planning an eco-friendly wedding; let’s talk about the flowers!  Not only will you most likely decorate the altar and the reception with beautiful arrangements, but you’ll want a bouquet to carry as well.  The best way to plan for a sustainable day when it comes to flowers it to make sure the buds are local, in season, and organic if at all possible.  

Your outdoor wedding may not need as much in the way of floral arrangements, but indoor or outdoor, hand picked wildflowers are a great choice.  And remember that local is the best way to go for the food as well!  Work with your caterer to make sure the food that your guests enjoy is grown locallyand responsibly.  Fresh fruits and veggies from your local farmer’s market can be turned into a healthy fruit salad and a nutritious veggie tray.
