    "Earth laughs in flowers," said the great Ralph Waldo Emerson. Inherently products of the natural world, flowers are a symbol of beauty and are an essential part of most wedding day celebrations. If you would like to incorporate more eco-friendly elements into your wedding, flowers are a great place to start. Conventional cut flowers are grown with pesticides and often with unsustainable growing practices. Many conventional flower farms also grow their flowers in countries where they pay workers very low wages to keep costs low to American consumers. There is hope, however. Recent demand for sustainable products has spread into the world of wedding flowers. Here are a few suggestions to help you find flowers that match your green values:

    Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, the weather is as fickle as the proverbial finger of fate. After several glorious sunny, hot days the forecast called for the return of the fog that cools San Francisco and the cities around the Bay. I left my house in the East Bay, dressed in my summer officiant attire (a sleeveless silky dress) and headed across the bridge to Golden Gate Park. There I am, sitting in freeway traffic wondering if I'll make it on time. I gaze across the Bay and see an enormous fog bank rolling in over the city. By the time I reach the site, the temperature has dropped at least twenty degrees. I'm greeted by the happy groom in his three-piece suit, while the lovely bride looks like she just emerged from a walk in freezer.

In recent years, marrying before the originally planned ceremony date is not at all uncommon. Reasons range from insurance purposes to immigration issues or maybe it was simply a spur of the moment decision. Whatever the case, invariably these couples wanted the fact that they were already married to remain a secret.
