I'd love to say that Spring has sprung here in Alberta, but it's simply not the case. While that's dampened many spirits, there's something Mother Nature just can't stop -- the spring wedding. With May and June being two of the most popular wedding months, early spring is a great time to start thinking about greening your big day.
Based in Winnipeg, Botanical Paperworks offers a wide range of plantable wedding invites, favours, and thank-you cards for sale on their website and at hip stores across Canada. Each item is designed from handmade paper embedded with wildflower seeds -- each tiny card sprouts enough flowers to fill the decently-sized pot I generally plant them in. It might sounds like a small place to start but, with millions of wedding invites going out each year, finding ethically sourced paper products can mean big changes in the long run.
While you're at it, take a look at other sources of paper products used through out your wedding and reception... Consider using real linens and cutlery instead of paper napkins and plastic utensils and a nice, reusable wicker basket over a store-bought cardboard cardbox.
