Some more tips for the couple who wants to wed responsibly. It seems that more and more couples are into ‘helping save the earth’. New York Times reports:
KATE Harrison’s idea of a fairy tale wedding goes something like this:
Gather more than 150 friends and relatives at an organic farm for a prewedding day of hikes and environmental tours.Calculate the mileage guests will travel and offset their carbon dioxide emissions by donating to programs that plant trees or preserve rain forests.
Use hydrangeas, berries and other local and seasonal flowers for her bouquet and the decorations, instead of burning up fuel transporting flowers from faraway farms. Design an organic autumnal menu (same reason). Find a vintage dress to avoid the waste of a wedding gown that will never be worn again.
I found more green wedding ideas HERE and HERE.

Christine, thanks for the great resources. I compiled a bunch of green wedding ideas from A Soolip Wedding bridal show held in LA last Sunday. They featured a collection of eco-friendly wedding vendors and ideas. I’m featuring them in my blog today and tomorrow. Many people don’t realize there are a lot of small things people can do in there wedding planning that add up to a big benefit to the environment.
Check it out if you’re interested.
