2.
Green Flowers
A lot of flowers get harmed in the process of your average wedding, but this doesn't have to be the case with your ceremony. Instead of using cut flowers as centerpieces and other decor at your venue, consider using potted plants; then, you can take them home and care for them after the big day, and you will have plenty of gorgeous flowers and plants to decorate your new home with.

Eco-Friendly Wedding Favors
Although a lot of favor ideas are fun and adorable, many of them get tossed aside after the big day. Instead of passing out cheap and non-green favors, consider showing your guests your appreciation with beautiful herbs that they can keep in their kitchens and use when cooking or other pretty plants.
By following these three tips, you can get started toward hosting a much more eco-friendly wedding that your guests will still enjoy immensely, and you won't have to feel guilty about waste after the big day is over.

ReplyDeleteI am just so impressed to have these 3 ways to add some green into the wedding. Well, I also would be having a grand but green wedding and that’s why I have been finding the most suitable garden inspired San Francisco venues for that.
