Cheap Green Weddings
A Romantic Cheap Wedding That's Eco-Friendly

Can you have a cheap green wedding and stay within your budget? What is a green wedding, anyway? With the news about global warming and environmental pollution, engaged couples want to take steps to plan their cheap, green, eco-friendly wedding. The mantra for a cheap green wedding is the three "R's" - reduce, reuse, and recycle. A cheap green wedding is a choice to reduce environmental impact with less waste and excess. It gives you another reason to back away from overconsumption and impulsive splurges that will rock your budget.

The guiding principles for a cheap green wedding are similar to the basics of living greener every day. Reduce the number of guests whenever possible. Choose a wedding location that's convenient for the guests, to minimize travel time and carbon emissions. Use recycled products whenever they are available, like recycled paper for the invitations. Even the bride's wedding dress and the groom's suit can be recycled clothes. Serve organic beverages and food at the reception. Use fair-trade coffee. Avoid plastic products in favor of biodegradable items. Choose a conflict-free diamond ring. Look for products that are green, eco-friendly and have a small carbon footprint.

If you want to make it a really green wedding with a strong green theme, you can go for a dress made of hemp, homegrown flowers, and seasonal local foods for the reception. The wedding gifts can be contributions made to your favorite green non-profit organization. To reduce electric consumption, an outdoor ceremony with acoustic music is a very green choice. Your green honeymoon can be a campout, a hiking trip or biking trip. A wedding that is simple and true to your values is the best cheap green wedding. Know that you can still have the wedding of your dreams even while you protect your environment.

I wish you a day full of romance and memories as you plan your cheap green wedding. - Heather, Cheap Weddings
