Inspired by our recent post about the ultra-"green" McDonnel/Pullar wedding?
Your special day can reflect the growing concerns about greenhouse gasses and carbon footprints, too. Think locally grown and produced foods, beer & wine and flowers, and even recycled invitations...
Share vechicles for the transportation of everyone, and offer potted centerpieces that can be taken home, planted and enjoyed for years to come...
Carly McDonnel and Matthew Pullar are going green with their wedding in Cleveland, OH... really green.
From her gown and his tux, to their flowers, cake and beyond, they are determined in taking an environmentally-conscious approach to everything on their big day.
A groom in Beirut recently planted more than 1,000 trees in honor of his wedding guests.
Nidal Khalil, the groom and his sister Zena, a Lebanese recycling artist and environmental activist collaborated with the American University of Beirut's Nature Conservation Center for Sustainable Futures to plant the 1,000 trees across Lebanon.
Zena said, "Growing up in Nigeria my brother Nidal and I developed a special connection to the land. Since we were flying people in from all around the world, I thought it would be a great idea to plant trees for each of the over 1,000 guests attending my brother's wedding. We wanted to start a trend and usually trends in Lebanon start with drinking and dancing, but we thought with the trees we could make the idea interesting enough that it would inspire others. The tree gift brochures and small wooden tree silhouette souvenirs, donated by IBSAR, aided us in raising awareness among our guests."
