Eco-conscious Wedding Tips⠀ ⠀ 1. Local, local, local! Look for local and seasonal eats for as much of your reception food as possible. They are fresh and readily available (translation: delicious and inexpensive), especially for your salads, where you want to go with what’s in season.⠀ ...⠀ 2.Find a vintage or used gown, then dress it up with accessories. Choose a dress made from organic cotton, silk or hemp. These materials are much more eco-friendly than many⠀ other materials.⠀ ...⠀ 3. Save paper by creating a website to keep your guests up-to-date on all the happenings with your wedding. Use fewer programs, menus, etc. Print one per couple or table instead of one per person.⠀ ...⠀ 4. Let your guests know you are having a “green” #wedding and encourage them to use gift bags that can be reused. Give them other tips on how they can do their part. At the end of the night, don’t let all those extras go into the trash.⠀ ...⠀ 5. Work with your caterer to send the leftovers to a homeless shelter or soup kitchen. These organizations can pick up the fresh and untouched food and deliver it to local food shelters and families in need. What a wonderful way to end the night.⠀ ⠀ @kymsignature #kymsignature #weddingplanner #weddingplanning #engaged #newlyengaged #savannah #weddinginspiration #weddingideas #savannahweddingplanner #kiss #keepitsweetandsimple #author #blog #weddingblog #blogger #blog #weddingtips #ecofriendlyweddings #greenweddings #ecoweddings (at KYM Signature)
