Mary and Emma have returned from Emma's wedding!  After months planning the weekend-long event, doing all they could to reduce waste and be as sustainable as possible, they can now sit down to reflect on the celebration. They share tips on practical ways to cut down on waste, how to communicate your goals with your vendors, the challenges of  trying to do things differently and some surprising examples of things actually being easier than anticipated. In the end, Mary and Emma were both delighted with how everything turned out.
