Q: How do I make my wedding green?
A: Making your wedding green can be as simple or involved as you choose. There are many unique ways or small changes you can make to your wedding that reflect your eco friendly style. The choice is yours and not all ideas are suitable for everyone’s style, but there is something for everyone. Incorporating one’s own beliefs and personalizing a wedding can be both rewarding and challenging, which is why Green Bouquet is here to help. Insert article link?

Q: What should I expect from my guests when I tell them my wedding is green?
A: Many of your guests may have never heard of a green wedding and will have some questions for you. Directing them to our resource and articles section that is free for all guests will provide answers to many of their questions. Also, if you are an emerald member, you can direct them to your personalized green wedding page, in particular the section explaining why you chose a green wedding.

Q: Which environmental organizations does Green Bouquet support via donations?
A: Green Bouquet routinely looks for environmental organizations that share similar beliefs and values regarding the environment and ways to contribute and preserve the environment. At times we may be donating to several or one as we determine. If you have further questions as to charities we are currently donating to or have in the past please feel free to contact us at mailto:greenbouquetwedding.com.

Q: Do you directly contact vendors for members?
A: No, Green Bouquet serves as a wedding resource to use at your discretion and provide you with all the information and data you need to make informed decisions regarding your green wedding and suitable vendors. It is then up to you to decide which vendor(s) are most in line with your beliefs and goals for your wedding day.

Q: Is a green wedding more expensive?
A: Just like any wedding, cost will depend on your decisions and you can include as little or as much as you want. Sometimes you are dealing with buying things locally which can cost 40% less or things that have been used before tend to be slightly discounted. However, sometimes organic products can cost 20% more since they may come from small farms that do not receive government subsidiaries. Ultimately, the decision is yours and there are options for everyone’s budget. The most important thing is to spend money in a positive way that contributes to the environment instead of contributing to more waste and environmental damage.

Q: Is there any way I can contribute after my wedding?
A: The decision to live a socially responsible lifestyle is not one to be taken lightly or part-time.

Q: How do I provide feedback for vendors’ services for future members?
