We are Committed to Doing Our Best
Recent stories in the media about climate change have caused us to take a really hard look at our carbon footprint. Although the weddings we plan are very beautiful, we know they can also be a source of enormous waste. Hence, as part of our planning modus operandi is to offer couples suggestions on how to keep their waste to a minimum. Some examples include not over ordering food by closely monitoring the guest count or using silk flowers where no one will notice and fresh flowers only where it counts. Sometimes, we will suggest potted plants, instead of cut flowers, sourcing local in season blooms or ingredients, or reusing floral decor between the ceremony and reception. We always make sure the venue and caterer have recycling protocols in place, and we work with our florists to donate the floral arrangements to a nearby senior facility, hospital or homeless shelter when possible.
It’s not a perfect solution and we know that, but we feel a little better knowing that we did our best in the interest of our planet.
