As Katie recently pointed out, the weddings of yester-year were much greener… without even trying to.
I wrote and asked my Gran about what weddings were like in the war years. Her reply was really interesting, and actually quite humbling.

We get lots of emails at Ethical Weddings from brides and grooms trying to plan a more ethical and green wedding - so we thought it was about time we started to share them with you - especially as you might be able to help us answer them!
So today, we’re Stateside (virtually that is!) with [...]

Woman’s Own Dream Weddings are on the lookout for a bride who has already celebrated her glorious green day in an ethical way ideally this year but 2006 would be great too.
Their perfect match is a sophisticated woman of 35 plus who managed to maintain both ethics and glamour while tying the knot.

A month ago, or so, I posted about the entry deadline to feature your vegan wedding in VegNews magazine. Today I’m excited to announce, that Tim and I were chosen to be featured along with seven other couples!

Rings from GreenKarat each have a ‘Green Assay’: a list of the green credentials of that particular ring, including the recycled metal content, details of [...]

I have been neglecting our little Ethical Weddings blog woefully over the last few weeks.  First gallivanting (sustainably, by train!) to Spain, then living it up - or rather chilling out - at The End of the Road Festival these past few days, celebrating the end of our short-lived summer (read all about the fest’ [...]

I know we vegans sometimes get a bad rep for being preachy or self-righteous. But I’ve always followed more of the “you catch more flies with honey” school of thought. Or in this case “more flies with plant-derived agave nectar” I suppose.
So my biggest hope with our vegan wedding catering was that we’d maybe make [...]

For today’s post, I’m delighted to welcome another green groom into the Ethical Weddings fold!
Neil, Sustainable Tourism Manager for South West Tourism, tells us a bit about the last weeks leading up to his wedding…
The Final Countdown…
With just over five weeks to go, it’s probably an ideal time to reflect on the progress towards our [...]
