Green Weddings Part 3: The Honeymoon


Oh, the honeymoon. For me, planning the honeymoon was the best part of planning my wedding. Don't get me wrong, I loved (almost) every second of planning my wedding, but there's just something about preparing for a week of laying on a beach that just warms my heart.  Plus, this is one part of the wedding-planning process that the groom will definitely be into! So grab your betrothed and check out our tips for planning a green honeymoon.

*Off-set emissions of your travel by purchasing carbon off-sets
*stay at a green hotel; check out this directory of domestic and worldwide green properties
*dine at locally-owned restaurants that serve locally-produced foods
*buy locally-manufactured souvenirs
*take a responsible tourist trip; find a responsible tour group here
*give back to your destination by volunteering
