Green Decisions

When environmentalists Jill Bellenger and Ed LeBard decided to get married, they knew they could throw a great party and still honor their green values. The ceremony was held on the beach property of their rental home in Duck, NC, and and their reception took place at the Outer Banks Brewing Station in Kill Devil Hills, NC.

Most guests stayed at rental homes instead of hotels and brought their own supplies for food and lodging. They forewent a daily cleaning crew to save resources, opting instead for a one-time cleanup at the end of the week.

Music
Ed's very talented aunt played the harp, using a battery-powered amp.

Photography
The couple chose Heather Garland Photography, a company that spares trees by providing only digital images.
