Blue Plate Chicago Does It Green
The first and only certified green caterer in Chicago, Blue Plate Chicago has taken it green with everything from product, to preparation, to the plate.
We love their concept of “conscious-catering”- meaning they are committed to protecting the community with eco-friendly practices and giving back.
Their menus feature seasonal and sustainable selections for brides and grooms, without sacrificing creativity (how do Risotto Pillows or Sweet Corn and Coconut Soup sound?) and of course taste! YUM!
Speaking of yummy, Blue Plate Chicago is known for its sweets stations, which guests are sure to love!
They combine their delicious desserts with some of your favorite furniture and other items from home to create Eco-Beautiful presentations for your guests!
In case you aren’t convinced, think Nutella and Banana Turnovers…Mocha Crème Brulees…Mini Peanut Butter and Jelly Truffles. Chicago brides…are you there yet?
Blue Plate Chicago is working daily to develop even more green greatness–we can’t wait to hear what’s next!

Here comes the…Flower Girl!
We know that phrase is typically reserved for the bride, but isn’t the flower girl’s entrance anticipated too? As guests, we know once we see that little darlin’ make her way down the aisle, the best is right around the corner!
Spring is made for the flower girl! The flowers headed our way (or peeking up already–yea!) are bright and beautiful, so she fits right in.
If your wedding is all about color, your flower girl will be so cute in one of these eco-pretty dresses!
