Plan Your "Green Wedding" with Green Elegance Weddings

Over the past few weeks we’ve talked a few times about “green weddings,” such as our post on flower petal confetti and our other one on Wholly Jo’s ethically made wedding dresses. Like Organic Weddings, a website we wrote about back in 2004, Green Elegance Weddings is a website that offers hints for couples interested in throwing an eco-friendly wedding. According to Valerie Edmunds, Green Elegance’s founder, the average cost of a wedding in the U.S. today is reported to be over $25,000. With eco-friendly wedding apparel, invitations, gifts, flowers, food and beverages, honeymoons and do-it-yourself projects, Edmunds makes it easier for couples to find the resources they need to direct more of their dollars towards green products and services. A Resource Directory provides links to resources and businesses that provide earth-friendly products and services, while a monthly newsletter features updates on the latest wedding trends. ::Green Elegance Weddings
