Wedding trend: Green Weddings

Planning an eco-friendly event is a concept that has been gaining popularity with each passing wedding season in recent years. This comes as no surprise; it seems everywhere you look these days yet another company or product has "gone green"! We have hybrid cars, canvas shopping bags in lieu of traditional plastic, organic groceries, chemical-free cleaning products; you can even coat your house with environmentally sound paint! When planning a green wedding, the possibilities are endless. From conflict free diamonds in your engagement ring to local farmers market flowers in your bouquet to leaving the reception in a hybrid stretch limo, every aspect of your event can be carefully planned with regard to environmental preservation. The Great Green Wedding website has hundreds of ideas and tips. Some of our favorites are invitations made from recycled paper, live evergreen seedlings as wedding favors (imagine how many trees would be planted each year if even half of all married couples did this at their wedding...), and asking friends and family to donate old or broken gold jewelery to be melted down and made into your wedding bands.
