Do something smart and unique: Earth-Friendly wedding decorations
It might seem wasteful to you to decorate and use all of these
cut flowers in order to make a big room beautiful for one night.
Are there any environmentally friendly options?
Change the setting
The easiest way to keep from using cut flowers and dried petals
is to have your reception and ceremony outside. This sounds like
trouble in the making, but it's a lot easier than it sounds. If
you have a large space in someone's yard or in a park(with
everyone's permission), you can set up a large tent for the
reception hall and even the ceremony if you'd like.
Since guests will be under a roof, there is little need for
worrying about the weather and they can still see the beauty of
the outside as they eat. Find a beautiful setting and light some
lanterns around the tent, it creates a soft glow well into the
evening.
New ingredients
Of course, if you're looking for the most earth friendly eating
options, you will want to select the buffet option with a
limited portion of food. Any additional food can be donated to
the local shelter if you'd like.
You will not be using any plastic forks or cups, so you will
need a lot of glasses and silverware to make sure that you don't
run out. Napkins can be cloth and washed instead of thrown
out.
As decorations, you can spread lavender along the tops of the
tables and then include small tea lights as well as larger
candles as needed. Find candles that burn clean (as soy ones
do), and these are quite friendly to use.
If you're looking for a centerpiece, you can choose to have tall
silver or gold vases in the middle (metal) and fill them with
ice and a bottle of champagne for the table. This looks great,
plus it serves a function. You can then give away the vases for
planters at the end of the night.
Using kegs instead of individual beer cans is a great way to cut
back on waste--even if it can be recycled. Recycling tends to be
more and more difficult to do as the night goes on.
Let the conversation and the happiness decorate the night, not
things that you will only throw away the next day. Being earth
friendly isn't difficult when you think of other ways that you
can use things after the wedding is over.
