Introduction
This is a wedding I did last October, for Marilyn and Rob at Sutro Heights Park. We kept this event low-impact in many areas:
- we used a naturally beautiful setting that did not require a lot of extra decoration
- invitations were printed on recycled biodegradeable paper that was filled with wildflower seeds that guests could plant right in their own backyards
- the bride's mother made her dress of natural silk fabric
- the mother of the bride also made the groomsmen's shirts and ties of natural hemp fabric
- the groom had his suit custom made of organic silk hemp - individually, the pieces look casual enough that he plans to get a lot of use out of them in the future
- we kept traffic and parking, as well as vehicle emissions to a minimum by bussing guests from the hotel to the ceremony and from the ceremony to the reception
