5 Eco-Friendly Takes on Popular Wedding Trends

Today is Earth Day, so we're celebrating in the greenest way we know how: with some eco-friendly big day inspiration. After all, marriage is a beautiful thing! But that doesn't mean it's a pretty business all the time — it's estimated that each of the 2.5 million weddings that take place each year produces between 400 to 600 pounds of garbage and 62 tons of carbon dioxide.

How to Choose Your Wedding Hashtag

Creating a hashtag for your wedding is a wonderful way to help you compile all of the images shared on social media throughout the celebration. Need some help coming up with something unique, easy to remember, and personal? Read on for expert advice!

Brainstorm

Grab your partner, and maybe even a few close friends, and a blank sheet of paper. Start writing down all the key words, phrases and names for the wedding. Think location, date, last names, first names, nicknames, etc. Chances are, you will immediately start seeing some great possibilities.
