Cut flowers, as you may already know, are quite toxic, both to the environment and to the workers who grow them. Choose a florist who uses organically grown, in-season, local flowers. This will remove the need for long-distance transportation.\u00a0 An interesting idea is to force your own bulbs in other words, grow your own flowers in your home. You&#8217;ll have to start a few months early, but you can grow anything from tulips and daffodils to begonias and pineapple lilies. There are also suppliers of organically farmed cut flowers that you can support. They have a fairly strict set of guidelines for growing practices to protect both the environment and the farm workers, and the flowers will be healthier for you and your guests to enjoy. You can also support your local farmers and buy your flowers at your local farmers market. Reuse your flowers that day by transforming ceremony flowers into table decorations at the reception. Similarly, ceremony decorations can be used to dress up the dance floor. After the party, donate them to a local hospital or senior citizen center or send them home with your guests. Another option is to have your centerpieces double as favors. Gather small perennials or baby bushes together and then have your guests take them home to plant.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutmyplanet.com\/environment\/the-eco-friendly-wedding-planner\/\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flowers Your wedding flowers can be a place where you can make conscientious decisions, which can greatly affect the environment.
