"Have the eco-wedding of your dreams" from USA Weekend
"A wedding might not seem like the time to skimp on extravagances, but a "green" wedding doesn't have to be any less special or elegant. Alan Dunn and Diann Valentine, hosts of the new TNT series, Wedding Day (premieres June 16), give us their advice on how to have your (environmentally friendly) wedding cake and eat it, too:
Sustainable from the Start:
Print save-the-date cards and invitations on recycled paper. Or, for an even more green notice, send them out electronically.
Wear White, but Think Green:
Save money and the environment by wearing a vintage wedding dress from a consignment shop. Dunn and Valentine do not suggest holding onto it after the ceremony. "Any mother who thinks her daughter is going to want to wear her old wedding dress is sadly mistaken," Valentine says.
Use the Locals:
Contract with nearby vendors for food and flowers to cut down on transportation costs and carbon emissions and to support the community. On their show, for example, "we're not flying in orchids," Dunn says."

Why Green?
“The world’s resources are far from infinite, and it is important for each of us to do what we can to reduce, reuse, and recycle. North Star and Angie Star Jewelry [are] the only source for recycled silver in the area, and we strive to be a model for sustainable artists everywhere.” -Katherine Sanz
The jewelers of Angie Star make an effort to use sustainable practices wherever possible, including the decision to buy supplies exclusively from green companies, and upcoming plans to offer
sterling silver buy-back services to local jewelers. In a time when our world is turning increasingly towards sustainability and the benefits, both local and global, of recycling, it makes sense that the beautiful works of art that you wear should share this attitude and commitment.
