The Green Wedding Givaway is a breath of fresh air in amongst the ‘don’t tell the bride’-type programmes where the catch is that you loose all control over your wedding (as handing the reins to the groom is pretty much losing control, right!)
Clay Hill Farm in Maine, US, wants to give a couple a chance for a gorgeous wedding with green credentials, at their venue, all expenses paid. The grand prize includes outdoor wedding venue, ceremony, reception, wedding photography, bridal jewellery, wedding video, flowers and voucher for a green gift list. Anyone can enter and couples just need to answer 3 questions and submit a creative piece demonstrating their commitment to the environment.
The venue who are putting on the competition, Clay Hill Farm, are certified as a natural wildlife habitat and bird sanctuary. They hope the competition will showcase the collective small steps of real people committed to reducing environmental impact, leading to big change in our local and global community – a big ask, but as has been said: ‘one small step for a man…’
If only the whole wedding industry would have this commitment to change – either toward positive environmental care, or at least to helping couples have a unique and personal day.
