Have a Natural Wedding with Green Wedding Favors
Ranked #2,136 in Weddings, #192,189 overall
Decorate with Green Wedding Favors and Save "Green" at the Same Time
Be environmentally sensitive by giving green wedding favors (like seeds) and using green centerpieces (like small trees) at your wedding. You will save some "green", as in $$$, at the same time compared with the cost of using a professional florist for your centerpieces. You'll also send your guests home with something they can enjoy long after the wedding.
You'll notice that there is a new MyFairLadyah poem entitled - "How Green is My Wedding Going to Be". Please read and enjoy!

Be Environmentally Sensitive
You can "be green" and environmentally sensitive by giving green wedding favors and using green centerpieces at your wedding.
Trees As Centerpieces
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
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.

Your Favor or Centerpiece May Grow to be a Big Tree Reaching Towards the Sky

How Green is My Wedding Going To Be?
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
