Out with the Old, In with the Green

For our eco-friendly brides, the perfect wedding isn’t just about the gown, the venue, the music, and the cake, but it’s about accommodating the most important wedding guest of all – the earth!

‘Green weddings’ are an increasing trend for couples who want to walk down the aisle in eco-friendly style.  Many vendors are expanding their services to accommodate the eco-wedding, from organic catering to hemp-blend wedding gowns, even to recycled wedding bands, the options are endless.  The best part? The green bride doesn’t need to make sacrifices to make her wedding more eco-friendly!

The WeddingWire staff is also feeling the green spirit! We just started the WeddingWire Wellness program here at the office and are working on transforming the office to make it more earth conscious. We’re ditching the disposables and relying on reusable utensils and mugs, turning off lights, and printing double sided.  We even just purchased new large recycling bins and are tracking our ‘green deeds’ as part of an office-wide competition to see who could do the most to help the earth.  Whoever said going green couldn’t be a blast?
