WEDDINGS ON ISLAY
Reduced carbon footprint fetes
Hosting an incredible wedding while also reducing the carbon footprint is on trend in 2017. For food and flowers, opt for in season and locally sourced. Earth-friendly invitations can be made by printing with soy-based inks on recycled paper. For place cards, forget the paper and have a calligrapher write each guest's name on stones that can be kept as personalised favours afterwards. Once the guests have gone home, don't throw out the flowers. Donate them to a hospital or nursing home to spread joy to others.
