Across this land, a “green” wedding is fast becoming the way to say “I do.” So it’s no surprise that eco-friendly are a hot trend. Couples are looking for creative ways to lessen the impact of their big day by giving their celebrations some earthy appeal.
CATERING:
Ask the caterer that you select to use readily available organic ingredients- eggs, milk, sugar, spices, herbs, butter- to create your wedding menu. Finding a truly all-organic caterer will be next to impossible, so work with your caterer to choose dishes that incorporate local, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Heirloom tomatoes in the summer will not only taste fresh and look gorgeous, but they will also be less expensive because of their abundance. Think crisp apple tarts in the fall, fresh herbs and baby-green salads for spring and exquisite root-vegetable purees for winter. Suggest your caterer shop local farmers’ markets for the freshest selection.
WINE:

Organic wines, which are made from grapes grown without chemical pesticides, have improved by leaps and bounds over the years. Ask your caterer about local wines. Our area is producing award-winning wine and is expanding and creating a wonderful industry.
RECYCLING:Ask caterers to recycle cans, bottles and aluminum foil and insist on a no-Styrofoam policy. Ask the bartenders to save the wine corks from the evening and transform them into a beautiful keepsake trivet by encircling them all with a pipe clamp you can find in a hardware store.
FLOWERS:
 - John Lyons Photography, Windsor, Ontario, Will Travel
Order locally grown, in-season flowers, preferably organic, which are grown without chemical pesticides and insecticides. Not only are you helping the environment, but also locally grown, in-season flowers are likely to be cheaper. After the wedding is over; the flowers can be donated to a nursing home, hospital or assisted living home. Another idea is to save your organic flowers and make potpourri. Fill cellophane bags with the mixture and send them to guests with your thank-you notes. Potted plants can also be reused.
Invitations:
Weddings generate a lot of paper. Look for post-consumer or recycled paper for your wedding invitations. There are many tree-free invitations out there and most companies offer this option. Some alternatives to look for include paper made from hemp or bamboo, or choose 100% post-consumer recycled stock produced from discarded newspapers, office paper and magazines. Also, ask your printer to use a soy-based ink; it’s a greener choice (made from renewable soy beans), and the end result can be brighter, clearer printing.
 See You There Invitations, Judene McCalla Pluck leaves from the trees and handwrite with a permanent – ink pen the guest’s name on each leaf; add an extra-skinny ribbon at the stem and tie the leaf around the napkin. Stamp large river rocks with guest’s names using an alphabet stamp set available at any craft store; rest a rock at each place setting and ask guests to return the rocks to a river; or add them to a garden or planter in their own homes after the reception. Use what you have and be inventive.

The Gown:
Today, wedding gowns are made of everything from silk to organic cotton, but they are all eco-friendly. Think about it. No bride would seriously consider her gown to be disposable. So, choose the dress you love the most; the one you envision passing down. This is the greenest thing any bride can do. Whether it is made of hemp or the finest silk money can buy, you can’t go wrong, so invest in an exquisite piece to be shared with future generations. If you don’t plan on keeping your dress, opt for a vintage gown that can be donated later on.
LIGHTING:
Lighting creates a “mood” and what better way to celebrate your day by saving electricity. If you’re having an outdoor wedding, consider hanging solar lanterns (available at hardware stores) in the trees, or use them to line the lawn to create pathways. They charge in the sun all day long and cast a soft glow at night. Since they need no special wiring, you can put lanterns wherever your heart desires. Paper lamps and candles are another alternative that can always be reused.
 Transportation:
Location, location, location. Try to have the wedding ceremony at or near the wedding reception. It saves on gas and makes it easier on guests, who may be unfamiliar with the area. Also, consider the benefits of a stretch limo. Instead of taking numerous vehicles to one place, one vehicle transporting a large group can be more economic.
Twenty years ago, there was no thought as to where a wedding and a reception would be held. Religious institutions were the official ceremony sites and their community halls hosted all the receptions.
 Picture supplied by: Trevor Booth Photography, Windsor, Ontario With dramatic changes in society and how things are done, today there are many more options. From yachts to sandy beaches with glimmering sunlight, to museums, zoos, wineries and county clubs; brides have more choice than their mothers could ever imagine. Destination weddings have also become very popular in the last five years.
Themes are also paramount in wedding planning, and the sky is the limit to what uniqueness can be achieved with a good idea and out-of-the-box thinking. From Hollywood sets to medieval themes, brides and grooms-to-be are having the time of their lives matching their lifestyles and personalities to their receptions.
From florals, food, invitations and fashion, today’s weddings have taken on a whole new face. Guests marvel at the Monday morning water coolers, when they describe the weekend weddings they attended. Celebrations today are fun, unique, engaging and energizing; and for the guest they are most definitely a treat to attend.
Now if you are a bride and thinking that all you ever wanted was a simple, traditional affair, don’t let anyone sway you.
Traditional never goes out of style and what goes around comes around. Weddings are wonderful because no two are alike and they are dictated by the families, customs and personalities of the people hosting them.
Remembering the reason to marry is to spend your life with the person you love, planning sets the stage for the life you will be living in the future. Do it your way and put the touches you want on it and it will truly be a memorable event in your life.
Wedding professionals are there to assist you in translating your dreams into realities. Ask for references and employ their services if, and only if, you feel comfortable that they can do the job you want. Ask for references and talk to people candidly about the services that they received. Based on your research you will find someone compatible and at the budget you are seeking.
