Green Weddings
Flowers
Flowers are such an important part of the day, and there are several ways of bringing the organic or "green" theme to decorating. Many clients want to bring organic elements into the designs, incorporating flowers, fruits, and even vegetables. Certain flowers don't need pesticides to grow, such as lavender, herbs, grasses, and berries, which add interesting texture to the floral arrangements.
Local growers are great sources for these plant materials. Purchasing from them supports our local agricultural ventures.

Some helpful tips:
- Some churches have multiple services during the day, and brides can coordinate colors, or pick a neutral color, and share the flowers for the ceremonies.
- Flower arrangements can be designed to be brought to the reception site and used on the buffet tables or to decorate an appropriate place. Pat has also designed centerpieces for guest tables that can be used both as decoration and given to guests for favors at the end of the evening.
- After the reception the flowers can be donated to hospitals, hospices, and nursing homes.
