Go to full post
Making their mark in 2007, Green Weddings have lead the way for 2008 trends. The spring and summer seasons are the perfect time to celebrate this top spot trend. An abundance of flowers and fruit fill the markets giving brides the advantage of buying local. Outdoor venues like gardens, meadows, farm lands and lake settings make for a beautiful natural backdrop for Eco-friendly ceremonies. And though donations made in honor of your guests are popular as green wedding favors, eco-friendly favors are also a great alternative, as you'll read later.Posted by of mywedding.comMarch 25, 2008

Sharing the Love, Part 3: Donate your Blooms and Bounty
Are you planning to embark on your honeymoon armed with a giant vase full of your leftover wedding flower arrangements? What, that’s unlikely you say? If you’re flying, that means that you will need to be able to cram them all into a 3-ounce test-tube sized water receptacle and zip that into a teeny baggie for security purposes. If you can do that, kudos for being conservative with your resources but I don’t think they’ll show up very well in your photos.

Take the Waste Out of Your Wedding Shower
Photography by April Greer - see more at www.aprilgreer.comTip #1: Hold the Paper Please!
Bridal showers can be fun, but for some attendees they're also a lot of work! Of course I'm talking about the second and third most important people at the shower-besides the bride. You know the "trash collector" and "ribbon collector/hat maker/or bouquet maker." Seriously, who hasn't been to a bridal shower where one person has the job of taking care of the wrapping paper, while another is in charge of collecting the ribbon and making a hat or a bouquet. "Trashy," as we'll fondly refer to her, is usually seated next to the bride as she opens her gifts, with a big garbage bag ready to accept the next discarded wrapping paper. Trashy is often a service-oriented person, someone who is very proactive. Perhaps a sister, an aunt, or a dear friend. She might even know the family so well that she can find the trash bags all by herself. One thing we know for certain, this gal has been to more than one shower.

Green Day: Responsible Registry
Tip #4--Register at Your Local Co-op!

Believe me, you can have an environmentally friendly gift registry without turning your home into an ashram. Couples today are concerned about their impact on the environment, and like all good capitalist marketplaces, the industry has responded. There are many elegant, yet Earth-loving options. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
