Have a Natural Wedding with Green Wedding Favors

Think Trees for centerpieces - small saplings in pretty pots - After your reception, one guest from the table (maybe a "contest" winner) can plant the tree for years of enjoyment. Or the trees can be planted by the couple at a park to make an environmental statement.

Small deciduous trees (magnolias, oaks, etc) may not have many branches, so you may want to select an evergreen that is indigenous to the region of the country where the wedding is. For example, Colorado blue spruce would be appropriate for a Colorado wedding.

Think Seed Packets, in clay pots, for favors - You can paint the pots to coordinate with your wedding decor or personalize them with Your New Monogram (Bride's first initial, Groom's first initial, Surname initial). However, standard terra cotta will lend a more earthy feel.

How green is my wedding going to be?
I hope to be kind to the earth
I wish for live flowers, for birds in a tree
For he and for me this has worth

How green is my wedding going to be?
I promise we won't make a mess
We'll recycle all of our dishware
We'll do it without any stress

How green is my wedding going to be?
The guests will notice a difference
I'll plant all the centerpiece trees
At a park where they'll grow as a fence

How green is my wedding going to be?
We'll have food that's from close-by and good
The squashes and lettuce grown locally
The chickens from the neighborhood

How green is my wedding going to be?
We are watchful with what we are spending
The green from the wallet spent sparingly
The bank won't make much on their lending

How green is my wedding going to be?
Our ceremony's steps from our party
That will save on the use of energy
And everyone will still enjoy hearty

How green is my wedding going to be?
I hope to be kind to the earth
I wish for live flowers, for birds in a tree
For he and for me this has worth
