Planning a Green Kosher Wedding is Easier Than You’d Think
The notion of being “green” has taken the country by storm and people everywhere are doing all they can to reduce their impact on our planet. Although it’s a relatively new concept to the general population, green principles are deeply rooted in Judaism with the idea of Tikkin Olam or “repairing the world”. If you’re planning a kosher wedding, should definitely consider making it as green as possible. No we’re not talking about the color scheme here, we’re talking about little initiatives you can take to have a beautiful kosher wedding that benefits the planet. Here are a few tips:
1) Consider making your own chuppah out of tallis and found branches or just a quilted chuppah made of special, personal keepsakes.
2) Give out yarmulkes made of recycled cardboard or recycled tire (yes, they exist!) They just like regular yarmulkes, so your guest won’t even know the difference.
3) Rent or buy a used wedding dress.
4) Ask your caterer to supply the wedding with organic kosher wine.
5) Register for eco-friendly wedding gifts, or if you have all the home goods you need, ask guests to plant trees in your honor.
