If you’re looking for alternative ingredients for your wedding cake (i.e. eggless) many local grocery stores have access to the ingredients you want, you’ll probably just have to ask. Unless you’re going to a Whole Foods or Wild Oats, you may not realize that they can make a wedding cake with your specified ingredients. If you don’t have either store near you, About.com has a list by state of some local bakeries that offer vegan or organic ingredients for wedding cakes.

As you’re planning your wedding and wondering what to do with your wedding flowers once the reception is over, Darcy Miller, author of The Bride’s Guide Blog, has a couple great suggestions:
“At the end of every wedding I go to, I’m always left wondering, “What will happen to all of these flowers?” Beautiful floral centerpieces are a mainstay at most weddings, but they can be extremely wasteful. The solution? Use eco-friendly flowering potted plants instead. A cluster of 6 or 8 will make a lush table arrangement, not to mention a convenient take-home favor. Or call a local nursing home or hospital to see if they’ll accept the blooms—you’ll feel even better post-wedding knowing that you’ve brightened someone else’s day. (For brides in New York or LA, FlowerPowerFoundation.org will pick them up and deliver them to the sick and elderly.) For more green ideas to incorporate into your wedding, pick up a copy of the Winter issue of Martha Stewart Weddings, on newsstands Monday.”

New Belgium beer company based out of Colorado offers a Belgium style beer, Mothership Wit, made with all organic ingredients. As you plan your engagement parties or gatherings of family the night before the wedding, including this beer is an easy way (assuming you can find it) to add some green without your even realizing it. Here’s how their website describes the beer:
“Mothership Wit™ elevates the zesty Wit or White beers of Belgium with wheat malt, coriander and orange peel spicing - all of which are organically grown. The Mothership experience begins with a cloudy, pale yellow appearance capped by a creamy white head. Next is the alluring, slightly spicy, floral nose. The refreshing taste is the result of a gravitational balance of citrus and sour flavors held in suspension by a bright burst of carbonation.”
