I'd Like: An Eco Wedding
In the name of God, compassionate & merciful بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ | Peace be with you السلام عليكم
It sounds country-organic but an environmentally friendly wedding-niqah might just be the greatest thing in a Muslim woman's life, after scooping up the generously rich man to make up for whatever's lacking after.
For a grand memorable eco friendly wedding there are certain requisites:

Recycled wedding invite from Etsy
- Using as many disposable and biodegradable items as possible. Paper plates and table 'linen', one-use cameras for guests instead of hiring that weird professional photographer, apparently that's 'cool'. If only the future in-laws were disposable too... or a try-before-you-buy deal...
- Making the wedding food yourself. Freezing homebaked cakes, foods for frying OR just asking families attending to 'bring a dish' to serve 5 people. It's saving energy, food costs and providing a more continental buffet.
- Everyone wears hemp, right? So let's put a 'wear your cheapest jimjams' and force the groom to wear an itchy recycled outfit (preferably bought from Islamic organisations). The wedding-niqah could be themed (she says in delight), say, 1960s hippy theme, thereby forcing all those attending to find old vintage stuff stashed in storage.

Homemade favour boxes - I'll use my Iftar packs - 1950s drinking glasses
and paper garlands... Fab'lous!

A self-tailored dress, hand stitched brooch and OH! plantable favours!
It's a Muslim utopian wedding and I assume no rational tax payer would endorse my idea. I still think it could work with a bit'o'tape and glue...
I like the idea...
