Have you ever wanted to create your own forest? Do you ever wish you could turn back time, and take back all of the gasoline and carbon omitted from your vehicle’s tailpipe while searching for the perfect gown? One of our favorite alternative favor companies, The Carbon Farmer, helps you do just that by planting and caring for trees and sharing the benefits with couples and guests.
I waited, sometimes not so patiently, for the day that my fiance would finally ask me to marry him and now that the moment has come and gone, I find myself in a state of immobility.

Our green wedding registry includes a wide variety of environmentally responsible products that will make your life more beautiful and livable.

The challenge is spreading the news about your registry without looking greedy, and that takes tact and finesse.
