Spring has arrived. Here in the San Francisco Bay area, Mother Nature has presented us with a stunning array of plants and flowers. The daffodil, poppy, tulip, magnolia and iris compete for attention with the flowering plum trees that line each block. It's a beautiful time to have a garden wedding. And (not to rub it in) the temperature has hovered around 70 degrees lately. It’s the perfect weather for an outdoor ceremony.

An abundance of flowers and fruit fill the markets giving brides the advantage of buying local. Outdoor venues like gardens, meadows, farm lands and lake settings make for a beautiful natural backdrop for Eco-friendly ceremonies. And though donations made in honor of your guests are popular as green wedding favors, eco-friendly favors are also a great alternative, as you'll read later.

Imagine a perfect outdoor setting with formal gardens featuring a hundred types of roses, a small pond with swans floating, all nestled in lush rolling hills. The wedding party enters to the soothing sounds of a string quartet. The officiant welcomes the guests and begins the ceremony when suddenly the startling tune of a marching band emanates from the pocket of one of the guests.
