Ritz-Carlton Weddings - July 2011 - (Page 72)

our pleasure The New Buzz honeybees on a ritz-carlton rooftop add unique flavor to eco-weddings Sometimes, brides-to-be don’t opt for white. Instead, they go green. And that’s a specialty of The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte. As the only LEED Gold-certified Ritz-Carlton property, the hotel features a vegetated rooftop with more than 18,000 plants and a chef’s garden. Plus, it’s home to two hives housing 80,000 bees that produce all-natural honey for the property’s sumptuous dishes and special events. For brides and grooms, that means pre-wedding honey pecan ice cream socials. And at one celebration, the hotel even custom-bottled honey from the hives for the couple to present as guest favors. The attached cards read: “Thank you for bee-ing here.” 72 w e d d i n g s b y t h e r i t z - c a r lt o n PhotograPh by Pawel gaul
