One of the popular buzz words associated with weddings lately is Eco-Friendly, Eco-Chic...or "Green" Weddings. You don't necessarily have to have a totally complete "Green" wedding, but you can reduce your carbon footprint, save a few trees, support a charity and support local farmers by considering adding a few "Green, eco-friendly" elements to your wedding. Here's a few suggestions:
• In lieu of a favor, give a donation to a local charity
• Cut down on fuel, have your ceremony and reception at the same location.
• Donate the leftover uneaten food from your reception to Rachael's Table.
• Use locally grown organic fruit in and on your wedding cake.
• Hire a totally digital photographer
• Give tree saplings for wedding favors
• Use recycled paper for your wedding invitations
• For your reception meal, use local organic vegetables
• Support a non-profit organization through one's choice of a wedding venue, such as a museum, cultural center, "green-friendly" venue or landmark building.
• For traditional chocolate favors, use organic chocolate or Fair-Trade candies.
• Reception food/Catering; consider using a caterer that uses only local sources for their ingredients or sustainable resources for chicken or fish.

If you're looking for Fair Trade/organic chocolates to feature at your eco-wedding, check out www.Coco-Zen.com. We offer chocolate truffles handmade from only Fair Trade Certified chocolate and organic ingredients. Our Party Favor tins are designed to both be reused and recycled (your guests will love to keep the tins for their own use). The Party Favor labels can also be personalized to match your wedding theme.
If your just looking to serve Fair Trade/organic chocolates for a dessert spread, Coco-Zen also sells truffles in bulk...or you can buy bulk and package them yourself into wedding favors.
