I must apologize for not writing much this week. I've been flying high on cloud nine with our new engagement. We went to to see Alba Vineyards yesterday as a possible venue for our wedding. We loved it! It's very "us" from the good wine to the hilltop ceremony area surrounded by mountain views and grape vines almost as far as the eye can see. Now that I have my heart set on Alba, we have to get some estimates from caterers and tent-rental companies to figure out if we can, indeed, afford it. I'm very excited.
As this is a blog about being green I will share with you a few ways we're planning to make our wedding green.
1. We will not serve beef. To all you steak lovers, I'm sorry. In the past, I've always been one to choose the filet mignon but now that I'm more educated on the beef industry I cannot allow it at our wedding.
2. As few flowers as possible. We will be decorating with berries, candles, possibly even fruit. If we have any flowers it will be whatever is in season. I don't want my bouquet to come from five thousand miles away. It's a HUGE waste of energy for something that will die by the next day.
3. Organic, Shade-Grown Coffee. We are going to ask the caterer if we can provide our own coffee so we can serve organic, shade-grown coffee. We hope to educate our guests on the harm your average cup of joe can do.
I will continue to share some green wedding tips as we move along with our planning.
