Even as a bride you can do your part!What are the benefits of having a green wedding?
There are many benefits to having a green wedding, but here are three.
(1) The environmental benefits. With 2.5 million wedding a year in the United States the impact is enormous. The average wedding produces 63 tons of CO2 and 400-600 pounds of trash. Anything we can do to decrease the impact of these events makes a difference.
(2) The social benefits. The average wedding costs almost $40,000 and weddings are a $60+ billion industry. When you start talking to vendors about green choices, and explain your choices to your guests, you support the green economy and change the way people in your community think. Your wedding is an opportunity to showcase how easy it is to be eco-chic and to share your favorite eco-friendly products with your guests.
(3) The economic benefits. Being green usually saves you money - which in today's economy is probably reason enough to do it! By making simple substitutions and eco-conscious decisions, like choosing a location central to the majority of your guests, it is easy to decrease your impact on the planet and the cost of your event simultaneously.
