Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
When we go married, we didn't really think about the environment at all (bad points for us). Having said that, there were a number of things we did, that in retrospect, were green...
- recycled card for the handmade invites
- a mini bus to take people to and from the venue for the ceremony (which was a National Trust property)
- the reception venue was in the middle of an area with lots of hotels and B&Bs to people didn't have to travel any further
- only one meal, which was predominantly veggie, made by a local chef, who sourced local products
- our honeymoon was in the Lake District
Oh, and no big fancy dress - a nice, simple dress for me and the bridesmaids, all made by my mother.
So, all in all, although we didn't push the green element, or give it that much thought, we did have positive ticks in a number of boxes, without friends thinking it was strange and too green.
