Beautiful and clever!  The table runner is such a great idea and the menu cards are gorgeous.

I wish people would quite using "green" as a buzzword for environmentally friendly everything. My colors are green and brown, and this is SO annoying when I am trying to search and I want the COLOR green, not info about environmentally friendly stuff.

I love this. I'm doing everything in my power to have an 'environmentally friendly' wedding.
There are so many little things that you can do like:
- have ceremony and reception at the same place (so people aren't driving from one location to the next)
- using local businesses (therefore it's less driving again)
- REUSE REUSE REUSE! Don't buy things that only have 1 purpose.
- Also with reuse: take advantage of other brides trying to get ride of things from their wedding.
- Buy a used dress!

I've found the only tricky parts are with flowers- I'm in the processes of trying to find a potted plant with white flowers that I really like.
And
Paper products- there are so many fun things out there to do with paper. So I've just decided to focus on REDUCING the amount of wasted paper.

Instead of using real plates you can use biodegradable plates, cups, and silverware (http://www.branchhome.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=181). 

Also, a good way to go green is using local flowers or you can grow them yourself and of course, printing invitations on recycled paper!
