Destination weddings - or Weddingmoons - are rising in popularity; nearly 20% of couples will plan a destination wedding this year. Weddingmoons allow a couple to unite far-flung family and friends for an unforgettable week (or weekend) of fun. In a new series, we'll be spotlighting our favorite locations for a combined eco-friendly wedding and honeymoon. Our first stop -- Florida, the number one destination for honeymoons. The Keys lure many couples looking for sand, surf and adventure... but our focus is on the often overlooked panhandle region in the northwest region of the Everglade State. Portovert's Pick: Rosemary Beach.

Last year, Portovert.com launched WED with the World in Mind to celebrate World Environment Day on June 5th. This year, we'll be celebrating WED throughout June with GREEN WEDDING AWARENESS month. This year's theme is Kick the CO2 Habit -- here at Portovert, we're emphasizing The Difference a Day Makes, so please let us know how you're living a low-carbon lifestyle -- and how you'll be incorporating that into your wedding. Feel free to post below, or send us an email.

We *heart* party in a pouch. It works as a mailer (perfect to send to an expectant bridesmaid), a suitcase stuffer (for those honeymoon nights) or extra sparkle at the wedding. Each pouch is packed with bookbinding scraps and just a hint of glitter ($3.50/each). Genius! 

Do you have a message to share with your wedding guests? Mud stencils let you add a temporary, eco-friendly note on sidewalks and walls. Milwaukee-based artist Jesse Graves shares how-to instructions on her website. Get creative! Consider adding a (washable) monogram, a custom logo or a family shield to your next event.

These popup placemats by Publique Living come in three themes: Popup Birdcage, Popup Mailbox and Popup Tree. Made in the United States of 100% recycled paper (30% postconsumer waste), we think their ideal for bridal showers, rehearsal dinners and shabby-chic weddings. Simply write your guests name on the popup. Feeling creative? Get out your non-toxic paints and paint a few accents on each mat; highlight a bird, paint a leaf or write a special message.

Yes. We know. Trashing your wedding dress is, err, not very eco-friendly. But what about a wedding dress that is trashion? Best friends Annika Sanders and Kerry Seager might be the original deconstructing divas, having launched their label Junky Styling in 1997. The duo takes custom orders for weddings. We love that each dress expresses the bride's personality with, gasp, no hint of any scrap-magic having taken place.

Jo Gartin Love, Luck and Angels is best known for the stylish events she creates for LA's glitterati -- Courtney Cox, Brooke Shields and Tori Spelling are just a few of her high-profile clients. Love, Luck and Angels is not a "green" design studio, but Jo's minimal approach and use of organic materials give many of her events a sense of simple elegance. We're particularly fond of her custom stationary, which features leaves, wheat sheaves and pressed flowers. Pictured left is a scene staged by Jo -- and styled by nature. Now that's low-impact living!

Considering hitting the open seas for your honeymoon? You're not alone. Over the past ten years, the cruise industry has more than doubled. According to the US Maritime Administration, nearly 12 million passengers will cruise through North America this year; each passenger will generate an estimated 70 gallons of sewage, 333 gallons of gray water and 12 gallons of oil bilge during the course of a one week vacation.

Still lured by the thought of 24-hour entertainment, all-inclusive food and drink and bargain-basement honeymoon accommodations? We've outlined a number of things you can do to make your cruise a greener travel experience:
