Chelsea Clinton Insisted On Organic Flowers For Wedding

In addition to vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free food, Chelsea Clinton insisted on organic flowers for her wedding this past weekend to Marc Mezvinsky.
Florist Jeff Leatham told US Magazine, “It was very important [to Chelsea] to keep it organic and natural…The theme, floral wise, was organic, clean, simple and elegant.”
The happy couple and their guests may have breathed easier without many traditional pesticides and fungicides that are banned in North America for being carcinogenic and causing multiple health problems like nausea, neurological and reproductive problems in workers tending to the plants.
You can say it with organic, pesticide free flowers from online retailers like California Organic Flowers, Diamond Organics, Organic Bouquet and Organic Style. These stores offer USDA certified organic flowers from both organic family farmers and certified organic farmers in other countries.
This is important because 70% of flowers in the U.S. are from Ecuador and Columbia, countries using many banned pesticides and allowing children to work in the hazardous fields. Certified organic from abroad may help ensure gardeners in other parts of the world live long happy lives and reach an age where they too can see their children say, “I do.”
