Add Style to Your Wedding and Stay True to Your Beliefs

Planning your wedding can be the best time to be eco-friendly. The wedding industry has a huge impact on the global economy and the environment, as wedding parties spend over $125 billion a year in the U.S. alone. Eco-Chic Weddings presents the quick, simple, and easy-to-follow tips you need to make your wedding socially responsible. This indispensable guide gives you the choice, comfort, and chance to share your own unique style for a truly memorable wedding.

Going green doesn't mean you need to spend the green. Eco-Chic Weddings provides all the resources you need to create your environmentally friendly and fun celebration on a budget, such as:

* Use in-season flowers to save on price and reduce the environmental cost of shipping in non-local flowers.
* Skip the save-the-date card and save some trees-and a lot of hassle.
* Don't purchase items you will only use at the wedding; instead, invest in dresses, shoes, or glassware you will alter and reuse.

From the location to the dress to the menu, there are dozens of easy ways to make your wedding beautiful and still reflect your personal beliefs in sustainable living. Eco-Chic Weddings will show you how to craft your perfect day.

The Eco Wedding and Your Reception

Minimize the amount of driving for your guests by holding the ceremony and reception in one spot. Sometimes this just isn't possible. For example, your church won't allow you to have a champagne toast or an open bar at your reception. In that case, choose a reception site that doesn't require guests to drive to another town.

For the reception itself, consider local beer and wine rather than their imported equivalents.

Many people who go for an Eco Wedding select a vegan menu for their guests on the basis that the land, its resources and water are directly responsible for providing the food.

Eco Friendly Horse Drawn Carriage

What could be more romantic than a horse drawn carriage to bring the Beautiful Bride to and from the Church? Not only is it environmentally sound, but it's "old world" charm makes it irresistibly romantic!

Eco Friendly Flowers

In this day and age it is possible to grow some types of flowers anytime throughout the year, it is much more Eco Friendly to select seasonal organic flowers for your wedding, and better again you could think about growing your own flowers (provided you have enough time in the lead up to your wedding).
