Green Wedding Ideas


When I see Los Angeles tree trimmers often butchering trees when they touch power lines, I cringe. I read a kids' story about "stompies", trees cut back so much that they suffocate and can't recover, which still sits under my skin. I have stepped out of the car and talked to trimmers, who grin at me in oblivion: it's just a tree ma'am. Not a solution for insensitivity but smart crafty vendors are using cut branches to make candle holders - perfect for rustic weddings.


Reclaim wood when you see it. Wine country people check your wineries: these rustic elegance pieces are made from oak barrel staves.

 
Grape vine trunks looks rather arty and air plants, a unique and so far rarely used idea, are such cool  easy to grow creatures.

These are all great ideas. I will pass them onto my brides and wedding vendor friends. Thank you! Have you ever heard of Rise Above Plastics? They do great work with the Surfrider Foundation. http://riseaboveplastics.org/
Thanks again.
