Gone are the days of eco-conscious weddings looking casual or lacking in design. Today there are lots of ways to plan an eco-chic event without sacrificing style.
When deciding the design concepts, consider some of these tips:
1. Deciding your menu - Start with seasonal, locally grown ingredients when possible. This not only gives you the freshest food available, but also supports sustainable agriculture.
2. The sweeter side - Whether you opt for a cake or a table full of chocolates, ask for organic ingredients or fair-trade certified.
3. Favors - to do or not to do? - If you are on the fence, here are some ideas. Buy trees to donate to local nature conservancy, buy land and donate to a land trust, or donate amount intended for favors to a charity of your choice.
