If you are planning on tying the knot this summer, rather than shedding out thousands of pounds for a fairy tale wedding that will leave you in debt for the rest of your living days, why not opt for an economical eco-wedding. GreenUnion.co.uk is an online planning and information guide offering fairtrade, organic and local alternatives to the regular budget busting, resource wasting weddings.
On GreenUnion.co.uk you can find a wealth of information about planning a green wedding, budgeting, venues for the wedding and reception, eco-wedding dresses and togs for the groom, shoes and accessories, responsible travel and more. They also provide links to service providers who offer organic beauty, hair and make-up, organic and fairtrade cakes and anything you can ever possibly need to make your eco-wedding go off with an ethical bang.
If planning your own wedding is altogether too daunting try an eco-wedding planner such as Boutique Weddings who offer you the opportunity to have a luxurious and ethical wedding.
One day I just might get married (if pigs fly and my boyfriend loses his fear of commitment) and I will endeavour to make the big day (or small ceremony) as eco-friendly as possible.
