Green Wedding

Increasingly, brides and grooms are planning "green weddings". Surprisingly, going green is not as difficult as it sounds, and the savings can be extraordinary, too. For example:

* Some couples use organic flowers for table settings and for the bridesmaids.

* Staying local in terms of shopping for items and also hosting receptions and dinners can save gasoline and also give your guests a break on their travel expenses.

* Going acoustic with the band rather than "plugged".

* Instead of rice, have guests toss something that is biodegradable.

* Use digital photography only. Don't make prints. Keep photos on a disk or download to a master file for later use.

*Give your wedding party favors that they can reuse: a planter, flower bulbs, a tree.
