I've seen a trend for engagement rings to no longer be just diamonds. I know diamonds were not always the stone used in rings for weddings/ engagements. You could choose a stone, or stones, with personal meaning. Like your birthstone, or the birthstone of your groom, family, children.

Also, changes to bridal gowns. Not always so long, luxurious and expensive. I think it is a great idea to choose a dress you can wear again. No point in having something stuck at the back of your closet. Also, more likely the dress could be recycled for someone else to wear, wedding or not. My own wedding dress was red with a black faux fur collar. I loved it for my winter wedding. I did wear the dress again for other occasions too.

If you were planning (for real, or not) a wedding, what would you do to make it a bit greener, or ecologically friendly?
