Ethical Weddings

While reading one of my husband's magazines (nothing to do with weddings!), I found an article on weddings. Yes, they are everywhere. It was a spotlight on how people are helping their community during this economic challenge.

This particular spotlight was on a couple who started a website called ethicalweddings.com while they were planning their own wedding in 2005. (I absolutely LOVE to learn how people find their calling.) It is their goal to bring you the suppliers and information on how to make your wedding the most ethical as possible. This means no conflict diamonds, no hothouse flowers soaked in chemicals, no bridal gowns made in sweat shops, and more.

So, I took sometime on the site and found that it is pretty fabulous. The ethical suppliers are minimal and mostly in the UK, but hopefully that will change as the site grows in popularity. "Challenge Us" is a place where you can ask them questions or tips for a particular problem you are having with your own ethical wedding. There is also a countdown, planning ideas and tips on how to create a green wedding, DIY tips, polls, and more.

If you are living a "green" life, like we are all trying to, be sure to check out www.ethicalweddings.com.
