Here at the Knowles restaurants in the New Jersey, New York metro area, we\u2019re seeing more interest in all things \u201ceco friendly\u201d and \u201cgreen\u201d when it comes to wedding ceremonies and wedding receptions<\/a> these days. These \u201cgreen\u201d trends range from choosing wedding and reception locations that minimize travel for guests, to selecting invitations made from recycled paper. Now we\u2019re also seeing the green trend in the wedding favors the bride and groom bestow upon guests.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in giving guests an eco-type gift, here are a couple of recent examples from ceremonies hosted at the Highlawn Pavilion<\/a> . One couple gave their guests potted saplings. We\u2019ve seen other couples make charitable donations in their guests\u2019 names to organizations from Greenpeace to the Environmental Defense Fund. You could also dispense with favors altogether and explain it\u2019s part of your effort to minimize the footprint of your wedding celebration, and save yourself some green in the bargain. The things you can do to inject a green element into your wedding are almost limitless. However, we would draw the line at choosing recycled burlap for your wedding gown!<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n
