Weddings can be an expensive business, can’t they? So it would seem a welcome turn of events when major retailers announce, as they did recently, that they can kit out you and your partner for under £200 with The Dress coming in at as little as £60. Some designers of course were up in arms [...]

Ok, so National Vegetarian Week ended yesterday but one of our brides in the Ethical Weddings Forum Porky’s movie download had a few useful words of advice so I thought I would share them with you… I’m having a vegan wedding in December. So far, it has been easy enough. The hotel where the wedding [...]

Has the green wedding backlash begun already? US environmental news site, Grist, picked up on a piece in Salon magazine (and sparked off quite a lot of debate!), suggesting that green weddings are not necessarily great and that if you want to minimise your impact, maybe you should just not have a wedding in the first place. Well, that’s one way of looking [...]

For today’s post, I am very pleased to welcome Liz O’Neill, Head of Communications for The Vegetarian Society, to tell us a little bit about her wedding and her thoughts on veggie weddings in general.  Over to Liz: Being vegetarian is a big part of most veggies’ lives so naturally it is also important to any [...]

This is just a quickie to apologise for the lack of posts over the past week – we’ve been moving house to our new ‘ecohome’. Ok before you get excited it’s a 3-bed 1930s mid-terrace in Worthing but we’ve had the guys who did the Brighton Earthship take a look at it and are assured [...]

Did you know today was World Fair Trade Day? This year’s theme is ‘Kids need Fair Trade’, the logic being that if adults are paid a fair price for their work, their children are able to go to school and live a healthy and full life, rather than having to work.  Activities related to World [...]

As you may have gathered, my betrothed and I are keen on the idea of a unique nuptial celebration… Not least when it comes to our attire. Neither of us is comfortable in a dress or skirt, so it seems daft to wear one on our special day. And we are carefully avoiding anything reminiscent [...]

It’s been a little while since my last post. My fiance and I went on a short vacation down to my hometown where our wedding will take place, and it was very productive! The first exciting thing we did was buy the fabric for my wedding dress with my mom (who will be making it). [...]

With National Vegetarian Week Lockjaw: Rise of the Kulev Serpent ipod just around the corner from 21-27 May, we thought it would be a great idea to hear how vegetarian brides and grooms are planning their weddings. What are the bonuses? Stylish veggie wedding shoes from Beyond Skin? A cheaper (and healthier?), lower-carb (emissions that is!) wedding [...]
