The ultimate green wedding would have a carbon footprint of zero. While that’s not really possible, it is possible, and pretty easy to purchase enough carbon offsets to equal whatever carbon footprint you create. If you think about it, almost everything we do daily generates a carbon footprint of some size, whether it’s driving a car, eating a hamburger sandwich made with a beef patty, even using

For all you green-minded brides out there, I’ve got a few terrific ideas for green gifts for some of your nearest and dearest: your bridesmaids. After all, if you want to have a really green wedding, you need to make every aspect of your nuptials, from your travel to your rehearsal dinner to your bridesmaids’ gifts as green as possible. You can start by not packaging your green gifts for your

Okay, so you’ve held your green wedding and you’ve tried to make it as ecologically correct as possible. Then once you’ve returned from your green honeymoon to which you traveled in your hybrid car or aboard eco-friendly trains, now what? What Next?How can you as newlyweds make your life together a reflection of the green values that your nuptials embodied? Well, a good place to start is with

As long as you’re committed to having a green wedding, I think it only makes sense to carry that idea to its logical conclusion. How? Well, one way is by making every aspect of your wedding green, right down to the thank you cards you send out to express your gratitude for all of the lovely wedding gifts that they gave you for your wedding.I think it’s a great idea to use recycled paper not just

It can challenging to come up with appropriate gift ideas when you’re trying to think of just the perfect gift for your favorite “earth friendly” couple. Most people would probably get a young couple just starting out practical gifts like small kitchen appliances or crystal stemware or something similar. But let’s try thinking outside of the box here. Instead of a blender or wineglasses or

So your best friend is getting married and you have to buy him or her a wedding gift. Because this couple is so special to you, you really want your gift to be special, too, but you don’t know exactly what to get them that will be special enough. Adding to your complications are the happy couple’s strong beliefs in going green in all areas of their lives. Obviously, just getting them a toaster

If you’re thinking of staging an earth friendly wedding you’ve probably already figured out that you need to ban disposable products from your wedding plans, so that means no plastic silverware, cups, disposable napkins, etc. So where does that leave you if you still want to plan a beautiful, comfortable and elegant wedding. Well, for starters, you need to think about renting or borrowing

Wedding favors have traditionally been things like matchbooks printed with the date of the wedding and the bride and groom’s names, similarly imprinted balloons and the like, which are all disposable products. If you’re truly interested in making your green wedding a success, then you’re going to need to begin thinking green from beginning to end, and that includes the kinds of wedding favors

It seems that more and more couples these days are choosing to have an earth friendly wedding, while many other well-intentioned couples would like to have an earth friendly wedding but just don’t know how to approach staging one. I won’t try to kid you by saying that it’s easy to stage your own earth friendly wedding, but it’s probably a lot easier than you imagine.One of the first ways to start

What idea comes to your mind when you hear the words “green wedding”? Maybe you’ll first think of the color green literally as what it indicates, but in this type of wedding it doesn’t only indicate a color but also a kind of wedding wherein the concept would mean so much not only because it is sacred but also it would be a way to show your love for the environment. As we hear the word green, the

Weddings, for all of us, are a very sacred and special occasion that happens, whether they are once a year, every other year, or a few times a year. For this kind of occasion all of the families involved are very busy with the location of the wedding, reception, invitations, foods, desserts, cakes, drinks, gowns and dresses and the likes.

A wedding is an important event and also a decision that a couple makes to fully live together and be recognized by the society as husband and wife. It is very significant for a couple’s life but it need not be expensive. This is where the concept of an earth friendly wedding enters.A lot of couples these days pay for almost 30 percent of the total expense on their weddings. To come up with your

Though weddings are considered as one of the most important events in a couple’s life, they still have to make sure that they are responsible and concerned citizens. This only means that couples, even if it is their wedding, must do their share in saving Planet Earth. Now, this seems a little too much because some couples may think that this is the time of their life and it is their time to

With all the destruction and damage done to our environment, Mother Earth calls for your help. What better way to help her than to start with your own environment friendly wedding day when you are also about to start your own family just like Mother Earth?Let’s begin with the invites.

Well, in today’s modern day settings and fast paced lifestyles, getting to be “happily ever after” is quite simple as long as you have the cash to fuel it through.

If you’re the type who tries to live green by practicing simplicity in everything you do, then the very prospect of planning a big, elaborate wedding probably makes you want to throw up your hands and run away screaming in terror. If that’s your attitude, then you’ll probably want to consider eloping. And if you do elope, considering keeping everything local, including your honeymoon. Remember

Okay, folks, if you want to know the bottom line about having a truly green honeymoon, here’s the straight info: stay close to home. I’m not kidding. Although ecotourism is a term that’s widely bandied about, it’s mostly a misnomer. If you take a jet plane to any destination, no matter how primitive or picturesque it is, you are vastly increasing your carbon footprint. I don’t care if your

You’ve already settled on a green wedding and you’ve made arrangements to have a green menu or locally grown organic food, your flowers are organically grown, and you’re having a small wedding so that you can reduce the size of your carbon footprint.

It’s a fun custom at modern weddings to put a disposable camera on every table at the reception and allow the guests to snap away. The disposable cameras are then collected at the end of the wedding reception and sent off to have the photos developed. As I said, it’s great fun, and many, many couples have acquired a wonderful and utterly unique record of the wedding reception from this approach.

When planning your green wedding, you could plan a green wedding menu with an array of organic, meatless dishes instead of the usual beef & chicken.

In your quest to have the ultimate green wedding, have you considered what you’re doing about your wedding flower arrangements? Depending on where your flowers came from they can have a big impact on the carbon footprint your wedding will generate. For instance, if you’re really trying to go green with this wedding, then flying in flowers from another country is a big no-no. You should also try

“Our life is frittered away by detail... Simplify, simplify, simplify! ... Simplicity of life and elevation of purpose.”—Henry David Thoreau One of the big problems with most weddings is that they’re just so huge. If you’re getting married soon, ask yourself if it’s really necessary to stage an affair that’s on the same scale as one of those old Cecil B. DeMille biblical epics with thousands of

Have you ever considered getting married in nature’s cathedral? I’m referring of course to having an outdoor wedding. This is only one more option to consider when planning for your green wedding. For one thing, having your wedding and reception outdoors gives you a much bigger canvas to create on. You could have your wedding in a local park or botanical garden that’s close to home. Do it in

If you could see the carbon footprint of the average wedding staged in America, you’d probably be horrified. The sheer waste at most weddings is monumental. We’ve all got to start thinking in a new way to reduce the amount of resources that we use in our weddings.One of the easiest ways to make your green wedding greener is to start with your reception.

A gold wedding band is traditional in America and many other places, but I imagine that most brides would be horrified to know the full extent of the environmental devastation that gold mining leaves behind. It churns up arsenic residues that are left in the soil, uses incredible amounts of water and electrical power to process the ore and refine the raw gold into the beautiful, gleaming metal
