The concept of a green wedding is not only intriguing to me, but also sounds really exciting to plan! After all, it allows you get to be a little more creative with your planning while helping the environment along the way. I found some great wedding Q&amp;A info on <a title="green wedding" href="http://www.thegreenbrideguide.com" target="_blank">The Green Bride Guide</a> that I thought I would share for all of you eco-friendly brides out there!</p>

<ol>
<li><strong>What is a green wedding?</strong> A green wedding is any wedding where the couple tries to decrease the impact of their event on the planet &#8211; and there are many ways to do it! Every part of a wedding has eco-friendly options worth considering.</li>
<li><strong>Are green we</strong><strong>ddings more expensive? </strong>No! This is a myth we are working hard to dispel. By buying local seasonal flowers, using recycled elements, and incorporating things you and your friends already own into your decor you can save you up to 40% of your wedding!</li>
<li><strong>Does planning a green wedding take more work? </strong>No! You have to make all of the decisions anyway. You have to choose invitations, and napkins, and what you will wear, and so all that it takes to plan a green wedding when you boil it down is keeping the environmental impact of those choices in mind as you decide.</li>
<li><strong>Will our friends and family understand? </strong>People today are more aware of our impact on the environment than they were even a few years ago. Although you may get a few odd looks, most friends and family members will support your decision go green.</li>
</ol>
<p>Sounds like a green wedding might be a little easier, huh? Less choices, potentially less money &#8211; and did I hear fewer decisions?? I know I wish I had found this site when I was planning my wedding!

Also, while you&#8217;re there, be sure to check out some of the awesome favors and other items they have in their shop. Here&#8217;s a few of their super cute favors:</p>
