Organic Weddings and Green Weddings

A wedding is one of life's major rites of passage. It is certainly something to celebrate! Today, wedding books and magazines promote large weddings so that more and more wedding products can be sold. Wedding expenditures run into many thousands of dollars. And after this major outlay of money, most of what is purchased is never used again.

Well, change is under way. More and more couples are choosing to keep things simple. A hotel in UK is offering organic weddings. Click here for more.

The Climate Care group in UK says the average wedding emits 14.5 tons of carbon dioxide. When set against the 12 tons emitted by the average person during a year, it is a huge amount.

Green used to be associated with everything slightly frugal, but if you want you can still spend a fortune on ethical fabrics and the best organic food.

The popularity of ethical wedding gift lists from charities such as Oxfam has also soared in the past year, setting a new trend which hopefully will become fashionable in the mainstream wedding industry and it will all be for the good.
