tasty labels that are produced locally,
guests will feel like they’re partaking in
a unique treat. Microbrews in cans have
lots of character and typically are less
expensive than bottles, and kegs are a cost-
effective choice for weddings that have
more than 150 guests. Skip the expensive
champagne and substitute a more
affordable Italian prosecco, Spanish cava
or California sparkling wine for the toast.
If you really want liquor, simply add in
a handful of specialty cocktails. Great
options include your personal favorites,
classics, and seasonal flavors like a mint
julep, margarita, sangria or pumpkin
martini. When you serve something
creative that guests don’t get very often, it
looks like you spent more.
ECO EATS
Don’t want your I Do dinner to negatively
impact the planet? If every couple
committed just half of their food and
drink budget to buying local and organic
products, it would generate an additional
$15-billion worth of green business!
Even if you can’t go 100-percent organic,
using all or mostly in-season local or
regional foods will decrease the carbon
footprint of your meal while increasing
the yum factor – think lobster or clam
chowder in New England, or locally raised
barbecue and fresh corn in the south.
When stocking a green bar, again, look to
local spirit, wine and beer producers, or
explore your organic options. For wine,
look to fair trade and/or organic boxed
wines – there are now some really good
ones available and they’re easier to recycle.
