AGreenRecycledWedding Plan:
Our plan is to create: Green Recycled Weddings that are affordable. These weddings will supporting local, sustainable, eco friendly practices by the help of the community, uniting together the Green Vision and create the Dream Wedding!
For AGreenRecycledWedding it comes down to 3 things:
~The Green Factor
~The Affordable Factor
~The Community Factor
How did we come up with this idea?
We decided we would like our dream wedding and know that on an average a wedding can cost $20,000 to $30,000. This is out of the city cost and does not typically include the honeymoon. That could be about the same price as paying for intuition at a local college. Just think about it!
We have family and would also like to continue building our life so why spend so much money? Even if it is not as substantial as $30,000 it can still be very costly.
Woman dream of having her perfect day, this day along with the birth of a child. These two coming from a woman's heart I would say would be 2 of the biggest days in our lives. So why not have it be perfect and be everything you dreamed it being with out going broke or missing out on investing that into your home, family and future?
Receptions could easily cost $125 a person. Ouch! Even at $65 a person it can add up to astronomical amounts even when you do not have the large extended family coming into town for your wedding.
For many of us, it is neither feasible nor affordable to have a wedding cost this much. Especially nowadays when there are so many resources and with the economy a lot of people in the community are available to help chip in to reduce cost, reduce waste and really make a wedding that is not only affordable but also green and recycled. We can reduce the waste that would typically go back into our environments. Instead we will be reducing carbon emissions. It can be pretty amazing when community comes together and achieves something not only for the love of 2 people getting married but also do out of the love for our planet!
We would love to get married and be able to invest our money into our future for us, our family and most importantly our planet by keeping our wedding green, recycled and affordable. We achieve this with the help of folks like you that decide to join in and help with not only our wedding but other weddings too.
So, it is time to pull out those wedding dresses, wedding favor, talents, flowers out of your garden and inspiration and love flowing from your heart and create weddings for couples in celebration of love from ourselves, to marriage, to family, to community and most importantly to the earth. Thank you for coming on by. We look forward to creating amazing weddings; recycled, green, affordable and with a big dose of love from community.
When you start doing your research on weddings and the cost it can become a frenzy and put you through a whirl wind with the cost of a wedding none-the less the honeymoon. Many weddings of which at the end of the wedding day becomes trashed and can be very unfriendly to the environment. This included that wedding dress that gets hung in the closet to be left there for that could help bring joy to some other lady on the biggest day of her life; her wedding.
And for those that have no big deal spending an extravagant amount of money on their weddings they could direct their intentions towards green and sustainable means. This means reusing what is already available in some cases or donating items after the wedding to others that would really appreciate it. They can choose to work with businesses that are using more sustainable practices. Lastly, they can have some of the money used on their wedding to be contributed to local charities that will go back into their local community, and help out other folks in giving their advice and hand to create another couple's dream wedding as well.
I have always been a recycle nut. I am an Aquarius. Aquarius’s are forward thinkers, pondering of what is next and what will be the way of our future. I love recycling, cleaning the litter off the streets and enjoy tag sales, thrift shops, Freecycle, free spot on the Craigslist as well as countless other means.
My fiancé Brian grew up with a family that was so conscious of the environment and knew how to reuse and create beauty. Within his house growing up has many treasures including antique roof rafters and using the trees from their land to mill and use for their home. His family and out family is big on using what is already available to us and leaving less of a footprint on this earth as well as less of a dent on the wallet. We love the bartering system and trade. We also love giving our time to help others out while being as green possible and always with lots of love in our hearts as we create each moment in our life.
We would like to keep creating less steps left on the earth as well as love, love, love this world and all who reside in it. We shall continue to keep creating and building community and inspire others to see what they can achieve with a little imagination, the heart and by working with their neighbors. We look forward to you being a part of the journey.
