Green Wedding Showers
Everything is going green these days--even bridal showers. It is a little bit hard to believe how fast the world is changing, especially with traditions like weddings, and wedding showers. However, no one can say that going green is a bad idea.
The trick is to do it in a way that makes sense, and is practical. Just because you can recycle items, doesn't mean you should. You should recycle items into functional products that can actually be used, otherwise we are just making more trash.

- I get family/friends to be more "Green" too.
I give my handmade all natural soaps... out as gifts and I help hostesses in my local area by showing them my lavender buds/roses... and then help them come up with menus featuring the herbs/flowers.
We come up with floral arrangments - using chemical-free flowers/herbs... .
Often, they will come to my house/shop and we pick the flowers... on the spot that they want.
The season and what I have growing fresh, determines in part what they serve on the menu and use as favors and gifts for the bride to be or Mom to be - depending on what kind of shower/event it is.
I have helped friends with having a more green wedding too.
Many choose a set of my Luxury soap/bath salt "Tea"/perfume and sometimes they even get a set of a neck pillow/eye pillow/sachets as gifts for the Bride/Mom to be/wedding party too.
I LOVE what I do !
Organically Yours,
Diana
