How about centerpieces and flowers…?

wedding flowerThe best thing to do would be to rent your centerpieces as opposed to buying them so they can be reused. Or you can reuse the flowers from the ceremony at the reception. Rent simple vases and fill them with the bridesmaid bouquets. Make sure to find a florist who grows their flowers locally so nothing has to be shipped.
When you find florists who grow locally you can almost guarantee that the use of pesticides will be kept to a minimum. After the wedding you can donate your flowers or send them home with your guests. ☼

That is just a few ideas I wanted to share. There are so many more ideas to make your wedding a little “greener”. So happy planning and just remember when you register for your gifts request NO GIFT WRAP, you are just going to throw it away anyways!
