Guest Blog by Jocelyn Anne
You’ve got the ethically mined and harvested diamonds in
your ring, a vintage gown in the closet, locally grown wildflowers awaiting,
organic wine, organic fruits and a locally, sustainably made cake all lined up. But, what about the actual building that your
reception is taking place in? While ceremonies
are a bit easier and can often be held outside in the beauty of pure nature,
chances are that you aren’t going to find a building big enough for your reception
that is built in the most eco-friendly way that you could hope for. Just because it isn’t as eco-friendly as you might hope for, doesn’t mean you can’t make
it slightly more so or look for innovative ways to offset your impact.

tips to get you started:

 Prince William and Kate Middleton aren’t the first couple to make charity a part of their wedding, but they are shining the spotlight on one great way to do it: a charity registry. 
The royal couple is not alone in their decision to celebrate generously™ on their special day. In the past year, according to I Do Foundation, the nation’s pioneer in wedding occasion giving, three percent more couples are raising money for charity through their weddings with charity registries and charitable favors. Guests are making larger donations in honor of the newlywed couple (6 percent increase to almost $82 per gift) and each wedding is raising an average of nearly $585 for charity (13 percent increase). Charitable wedding gifts are not only becoming more accepted, but also requested.
