Throw an organic wedding in 2007

Happy New Year to all you eco chic wedding couples! And from all of us here at GreenUnion have a happy and green wedding in 2007.

While planning your wedding and whatever your budget, it'll be fabulous fun and wonderfully rewarding to go green with good-conscience choices for your organic wedding:

YOUR BUDGET
Open a dedicated savings account with an ethical bank to deposit your wedding budget in.

YOUR DRESS
Choose to have a uniquely eco wedding dress made by a skilled dressmaker or have a vintage creation restyled and embellished just for you.

JEWELLERY
Have your rings and things made by a skilled designer maker who sources fair trade metals and stones.

YOUR RECEPTION
Find a green venue and seek out an eco-friendly florist to decorate it with locally grown flowers and plants .

DELICIOUS FOOD & DRINK
Locally grown and organic produce is the green choice and find a caterer who's prepared to source this for you. Choose organic or biodynamic wines.

GREEN INVITATIONS & FAVOURS
Have your invitations printed on recycled paper with vegetable inks or design your own and send e-invites. Be creative and hand make your favours or find someone who does.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Choose a local photographer who doesn't have to travel too far and uses digital technology.

WEDDING GIFT LIST
Ask your guests to contribute to a beautiful piece of commissioned artwork or a charity gift list.

YOUR HONEYMOON
Consider saving on CO2 emmissions by not flying to your honeymoon destination and have a really green honeymoon here on our own beautiful green island. If you really must fly then offset those emissions with a carbon offset company.
