One thought on “024: Wedding Season Done Right

  1. Dear Stephanie, yes, all wonderful ideas, I am all for everything good and sustainable. I can’t understand why on earth would anybody use plastic plates and plastic cutlery at the wedding? I come from Romania and over here it would be very impolite to do that. We use the finest China and the finest silverware. We don’t mind washing up. Just a few weeks ago we had a graduation meal for my son and we had over fifty guest, that meant 50 X 2 plates – main course and desert – + 50 glases, cutlery, serving plates and bowls. Before I noticed two girls washed up half the plates and later on someone else did the other half. It is really so easy, there is no excuse for using disposables.
