I love that it can be so gorgeous to go green!
The bamboo cake is so cute!
The napkins actually look really pretty tied with leaves. love that idea!
This is really cool! Happy Earth Day!
While I think all these options are beautiful, I would caution everyone to really think about what it is to be “green.”
Two websites I found that have a sense of this are:
Take the “green” wedding theme even further, and try to buy your food for the event locally. A great wedding favor is also bulbs or a small tree to be planted- very green and memorable. And all those gift registries that are printed out in stores- send a CD with the list to guests and save some paper. Of course, use recycled CDs.
Happy Wedding and Earth Week!
Those cabbage like flowers are exactly what I have been looking for! But never knew what they were called. I have tried searching more now since that it is stated they are called lotus blossoms but can not find any? Anyone have any ideas where I can find out some more info on them?
I know somebody who wants to do something like this for her wedding and I love the idea!
