The "Green Bride"

2010 is all about saving money and equally important; saving the environment!  Let's face it, the economy is tough making it more difficult than ever for most couples to spend a ton of money on their wedding.  Fortunately, it is becoming a common trend for couples to "Go Green" on their wedding day.  There are some fantastic ways to create an eco-chic wedding without breaking your budget.

One of the best ways to create your eco-chic wedding is to start with the venue selection.  Choosing a venue that is located outdoors allows you to utilize the natural beauty and landscape without being wasteful with live flowers that have to be brought into the venue.  Also, if you choose a time of year that has an appropriate climate (March, April, September and October) where your guests will not be freezing cold or scolding hot, you do not need to use air conditioning or heat therefore saving energy!

Some eco-friendly brides are going all the way by using organic cotton napkins, biodegratable plates, leaves and branches in their centerpieces, and even renting hybrid cars for their guests to use to get around the city.  These are just a few ideas to help you have an eco-chic wedding!
