SIGN-UP FOR DAILY TIPS

If 10,000 NY Biter brides and their four attendants carry organic rose bouquets instead of conventionally grown ones, we'll keep the weight of over 100 groomsmen in pesticides out of the environment.

The oldest rose bush is 1,000 years old and grows at Hildesheim Cathedral in Germany.

Pushing Up Daisies - Wedding Week

The Bite

There's nothing like a bouquet of beautiful flowers to celebrate the end of your single life. Organic flowers, that is - and preferably ones from Abundant Life Farm. This Middletown, NY, farm doesn't use pesticides or chem fertilizers to grow its tulips, daffodils, roses, sunflowers, and yes, daisies, among other blooms. And because they're local, getting flowers to the church (or your backyard) on time will require less fuel than shipping 'em from further afield. ALF designs for weddings year-round, with flowers available spring through fall, and evergreens and berries in winter. So whenever you celebrate your wedding day(sies) - or any other occasion - it'll be bloomin'.
