There has been much talk about this issue recently. And really, who doesn't want to take good care of the planet we live on? At the same time, we want our wedding to be a special time when we can pull out all the stops and celebrate.
How do you balance the two? Do you? Do you simply forget about the environment on your wedding day because, 'it is a special, once in a lifetime event?' If being a good caretaker of the earth is important then being wasteful seems a little selfish. Doesn't it?
No one person can do everything, but over the next few days I want to continue to throw out some options that could both protect the beauty of the planet and add a fun or personal touch to your wedding.
Today's option:
Arrive & Depart Cinderella Style: Reduce the carbon footprint of a wedding by arriving and departing in a horse drawn carriage. Imagine pulling away in a gorgeously restored enclosed carriage with you and your new spouse waving to your loved ones from behind heavy velvet curtains and the driver sitting high atop the carriage. Or perhaps an open carriage is more appealing? Personally, I would choose a petite carriage pulled by a pair of adorable miniature horses. The cute factor is so over the top that this one touch alone is sure to make certain the wedding is something that will be looked back on with fondness for a long time.
Sure, it is a small thing, but a few small things tend to add up!
