And we aren't refering to the color scheme!
More and More Berkshire wedding couples are coming to us with dreams of green. Now being green isn't
just the right thing to do, it's hip!
Here are some of the ways wedding couples are stylishly reducing their
impact on the environment:
-Instead of flowers, using other items as the focal point for table
centerpieces, like candles, stones, or shells sourced from vendors that assure they were harvested responsibly.
-Setting up a vanpool from the hotel for out of town guests to ride to the ceremony and the reception.
-Using recycled paper for the invitations and thank you notes, and when possible, paper that is certified
that it comes from sustainable forestry programs.
-Outdoor wedding and reception venues
that maximize the use of natural lighting, reducing the need for electrical lighting. For an evening event, options such as
candlelight for the cocktail hour or 'mood' lighting.
-When working with the photographer,
having all the proofs done digitally. This will minimize the use of toxic chemicals and paper in developing and you can be
sure that the only prints made are the ones you want.
-Dress and bridal attire made from
natural materials.
