Green is the hot color this wedding season as environment lovers take the green wedding route. Outdoor weddings, recycled paper for invitations and place cards, potted plants rather than cut flowers, organic food for menu, locally grown fruits and flowers, candles instead of expensive lighting are all a part of the green wedding.
So, when Kristy Wang and Nik Kaestner of San Fransico, decided to go in for the big day, the bride chose a gown that could be worn again to parties, the groom organized guest car pools in hybrid vehicles, and the couple picked an outdoor Japanese garden over a big, energy-sucking reception hall.
Locally grown, organic food were on the menu and so were homemade tablecloths that were later turned into dinner napkins. The venue was chosen so that it was close to the guests and they did not have burn fuel traveling miles.
Going green is one of the great business opportunities of the 21st century, and the rapid growth of green weddings and green wedding consulting groups is not surprising
says David Cooperrider, a business professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.
The million-dollar wedding industry is jumping in the bandwagon and are cashing in on this craze.
So, if you planning to ‘Green’ on your wedding day and don’t have a clue how to go about it, here are some sites that could help your green wedding dream come true.
