Today is Earth Day. Take this reminder to view how you are planning your wedding, and how you can care for our planet in the process. Here are some tips to keeping your wedding green:
1. Earth Friendly Invitations: Earthly Affair has the most beautiful invitations that are gentle on our planet! Other places to check out:

2. Organic and Local Food and Wine: Many restaurants and caterers now offer local options. Be sure to ask when you are inquiring about services. As for wine, check out: The Organic Wine Company and Organic Wine Journal to learn more!
3. Green Gifts: From wedding registry to favors, you can go green. Check out Beau Coup for great green favors and Sweet Earth Chocolate for edible treats. For your registry, consider items like organic bedding and bath towels, bamboo for your kitchen, and Energy Star for any major appliances your nuptuals may require!
4. Sustainable Dress Options: Visit my Save Money post about wedding dress options. And, check out this post from Style Me Pretty!
Save Money: Your Wedding Dress
One HUGE expense for your wedding is your dress, but this is one of the easiest areas to cut back without missing out. I once heard a bride say that your dress should be 50% of your budget! YIKES, that would have sent me back until I was 60! I promise you, that is not necessary. You no longer have to spend a lot to walk down the aisle in style.There is a growing market of "used" dresses. Don't be turned away by the term "used" as many of these dresses are floor models, or sample dresses that have yet to be worn for a wedding, but can no longer be sold at full price. Among the many places you can get designer dresses for a better price, these are my top three favorites:
PreOwned Wedding Dresses: PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com is a listing service designed to connect buyers and sellers of new, sample and used designer wedding dresses. The site boasts hundreds of wedding dresses with easy to use search criteria like designer, price, and location. Not only can you buy dresses here, but after your big day, you can also sell your dress here! (40% of the gowns listed on our site is sell - most in less than 3 months.)
Save The Dress: SavetheDress.com is a listing service for owners of designer wedding dresses to sell to prospective buyers. They are one of the leading sites to sell or buy pre-owned, new or sample wedding dresses. Buyers benefit from a large collection of affordable top designer wedding dresses including Kenneth Pool, Vera Wang, Justina McCaffrey, and Monique Lhuillier all at an affordable cost.
Encore Bridal: Encore Bridal is a consignment bridal e-Boutique, offering new, sample, and nearly-new couture that will take your breath away - at a price that won't! Our collection includes dresses and bridal accessories from today's most well-known designers... Monique Lhuillier, Vera Wang, Reem Acra, Amsale, and Pronovias to name a few. The brands you desire are now within your reach -- all priced at 30-70% below retail.
Browse around these online shops to see why you can be part of a eco-conscious and affordable movement in wedding gowns!
