Printed OrganzaBlue Strawberry, the leading society wedding and party caterer, has launched its Organic WeddingsService in the UK. In line with the ever-growing consumer demand for organic, locally grown food,Blue Strawberry is recognising a new wedding trend for brides and grooms and party hosts in general,asking for organic, locally grown, sustainable weddings and parties.Blue Strawberry, owned byfounder Molly Ronan, is well known for organising beautiful weddings all over the country.Reflecting Molly’s own values of healthy living, Blue Strawberry helps organise the wholewedding using fresh organic food sourced from the British Isles, advising on custom made invitationsprinted on recycled card, place cards using ideas such as local pebbles or leaves and suggestingseasonal flowers specially grown for the occasion from organic growers. Blue Strawberry also workslocally with the bride’s preferred organic producers.“Demand for organic wedding foodhas increased enormously over the last year,” says Molly. “We decided to set up BlueStrawberry’s Organic Wedding service for people who are keen to have an environmentallyfriendly wedding day. We advise them to keep the mood seasonal and try to base everything around thecolours and textures of the season; cool whites and creams in the summer with fragrant lavenders andvoluptuous roses; harvest feasts in the autumn with colours of gold and burnt orange and organzafabrics to rich red velvet and shiny metallics at Christmas with scents of spices.”“Interms of the organic food we use, we source our dairy products from Dorset, our organic meat fromScotland and the South of England and tap into local growers for our fruit and vegetables. In thisway, we are able to reduce food miles as well as serve guests the freshest and most deliciousorganic ingredients available.”As part of the whole eco-friendly wedding service, BlueStrawberry can also organise the recycling of leftover food, either by approaching a local organicfarmer or by pre-arrangement to a local charity, as well as liaising with local councils to providerecycling bins.Molly continues, “At a recent wedding in London’s Chelsea Physic Garden,we displayed the table plan on a washing line, clipping guests’ names onto recycled gardenstring with wooden pegs. Whilst the environment is a serious business, we like to keep a sense offun!”
