LIFESTYLE: Weddings

Make your day special for all the right reasons.

• - If you're planning to have flowers use seasonal UK grown flowers, for more information on seasonal flowers and suppliers contact the Flowers & Plants Association.
• - For environmentally friendly invitations use recycled paper and a waterless printing process. Oxford firms Seacourt and Oxford Greenprint specialise in environmental printing and can offer invitations on 50%, 75% or 100% recycled paper.
• - Even better, avoid paper altogether and send electronic invitations using free online invitation service e-RSVP
• - If you don't use recycled paper for your invitations make sure they are Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) approved from sustainable forests.
• - The Ballroom on the Plain sells beautiful vintage wedding dresses for under £100.
• - Greenunion.co.uk contains impartial advice and links on decorations, gift lists, outfits and rings, started by a recently wed environmentally conscious couple.
• - Contact Friends of the Earth for more advice on green weddings.
