I have always told my friends that I hate the concept of wedding dresses—they didn't come about as a symbol of purity, they came about as a symbol of wealth (Queen Victoria wore the first one to show that she could afford to clean a white dress and also to only wear it once). Not only that, but white is like, the most unflattering color on most people. I love a beautiful wedding dress, but I'm not into the materialism. I'd rather be able to wear the dress again and remember all the fun times I've had in it!

Oh yeah: I love when people put their invitations on a little placard instead of a monstrous posterboard because then I can stick it on my fridge!

Reduce, reuse and recycle: This is now.

Brides, grooms and other wedding industry that caters to them are paying more attention to the environmental implications of their choices.

It is a trend that was barely on the cultural radar screen a couple of years ago. Couples concerned about global warming are scaling back and thinking green as they plan wedding venues, menus, flowers and transportation, helped by a multiplying array of Web sites, stores and catalogs.

Yeah, I really love green wedding settings. You've posted very important details about it, and I love that. Just keep it up!
