WWF for grooms and brides-to-be:

Instead of buying you flowers, ask the wedding guests to donate for new forests

The summer season is not far away, when in addition to enjoying our holidays, we can also... get married. And what's a wedding without a white bridal gown and dozens of beautiful but, alas, ephemeral bouquets of flowers?

To spare themselves the regret of having to throw away all those flowers after just a week, the bride and groom can take advantage of a new initiative from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

The WWF initiative is for future young families to ask their wedding guests to donate the money they plan to spend on a bouquet. The amount raised will be spent by the organisation to plant new forests.

Wedding party organizers must fill out a short form indicating the date of the event and the names of the newlyweds. Upon receiving the form, WWF will send them a special donation urn.

The money collected can be handed to a WWF representative in person or transferred to a bank account.
