Weddings go green

Do your part and support the environment on your special day.

Tell your guests to drive their hybrid or electric cars, take a horse and carriage or walk to the wedding.

Wear a conflict-free diamond. Spend the honeymoon volunteering. Create a registry where guests donate to a favorite charity.

Opt for a secondhand or vintage wedding gown and tuxedo. Make dinner and cocktails with natural ingredients.
