While being eco-friendly and “going green” is all the rage it is interesting to note that weddings are up there for some of the most wasteful things to do, ever. Why? It is a one time thing with a high level of “once in a lifetime” desire to go over the top (or at least go more extravagant than a normal event.) There are so many resources now in regards to greening up your wedding. Everything from sustainable party favors, to eco friendly gowns, to composting (or donating) all your left over food, to going somewhat paperless with your invite, the ideas are endless. Here are a few links to get you started:
