Why It's Good:

Brie and rosemary crostini, ruby beet soup shooters, and a sesame-crusted eggplant steaks make this menu very vegetarian-friendly — and the Sencha green tea salmon, chicken confit with Gorgonzola polenta, and beef tenderloin will keep the omnivores happy, too.

Why It's Green:

Many environmental problems are linked to eating meat, so offering ample vegetarian options is one way to green your wedding. And even the omnivorous dishes on Greg Christian's menu are as eco-friendly as possible — the beef is grass-fed, the salmon is sustainably caught, and and the chicken is antibiotic-free.
