5 Easy Ways to Have a Green Wedding

Going green is easier than you think, especially now that the wedding industry has really jumped on the green bandwagon. More and more companies and vendors are popping up that are eco-friendly. You can find just about everything you need for your wedding in a fabulously "green" version. From the dress to the honeymoon you can go green without going crazy.

1) Keep it simple and sustainable. The less you use the more you save, in both money and resources. If you do want a big to-do on your big day, at least opt for eco-extravagance.

2) Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - anything and everything you pick for your wedding can be gently used, newly recycled or you can opt for reducing the amount of stuff you use to begin with. Going vintage or using heirloom gowns and jewelry are great ways to go green by reusing.

3)Think outside the white, lacy wedding box. Opt for color and funky fabulousness. Decorate with things you can easily use again in your home (or outside of it), like garden supplies- you'd be amazed that a trellis, arbor, fences, rocks, wheelbarrows, watering cans, and flower pots can all be used as wedding decor and reused at home in your garden and backyard.

4)Go DIY. Save money and resources by making wedding stuff yourself.

5)Shop local. Use local vendors and resources for your wedding needs like a local printer instead of mail order, use a local caterer that utilizes local and seasonal produce and goods. Have a local seamstress make your gown out of "green" fabrics.
By using local resources you save on shipping costs and gas use plus you support your local economy.

These are just a few of the easy ways you can go green for your wedding.

Stay tuned for more great advice.
