Green Ideas
- Use evites in lieu of paper save the dates or even invitations.
- Choose recycled or even cotton paper for your invitations. Bonus points for employing a local calligrapher to hand print them.
- Rent or borrow wedding attire from a local clothing rental company or from friends or family. Have your bridesmaids wear dresses they already own or choose something they need to wear again for another occasion.
- Select a venue close to the majority of your guests to cut down on fuel costs.
- Use locally grown organic florals. Potted plants are great since guests can take them home and they will live as long as they are cared for.
- Choose local produce and foods to serve at your reception. Living in South Florida, there are some great fish options caught locally, definitely take advantage of this!
- Keep the wedding cake simple and properly portioned for your guest count.
- Take your honeymoon close to home. There are so many great things to do just a few hours away. Take advantage of these great spots while honeymooning.
