How To Have A Green Wedding For Under $10,000

If you’re planning on having an eco-friendly wedding on the cheap, check on this article that ran in Saturday’s Toronto Star. It’s about a Toronto couple who recently held an elegant, green wedding for $10,000.

Their steps to saving money (held a cocktail reception, eschewed flowers and the big white gown, had a friend get them a deal on the reception venue) and being green (offset their carbon credits, gave away tree saplings as favours, had a the wedding dress made out of bamboo) aren’t anything new but it’s always nice to a real life example of those steps in action.

The article also contains a great little sidebar on how to make your own video booth. The couple was able to create their own for less than $100 and they got to keep the video camera.

While their wedding certainly won’t be for everyone one, it certainly worked for them and it’s certainly a common-sense wedding.
