This year, we launched Green Wedding Awareness Month to celebrate the UN's campaign to Kick the CO2 Habit. Help us compile a list of the best ways to have a low-carbon wedding. Like, did you know that it takes 70-90% less energy to produce recycled paper? And it saves trees (which suck carbon out of the air). So tell us, what's your favorite way to "Go Low?"

Nate Albert of former Boston punk band Savin Hill and his now-wife, Kristen Vaurio, chose one of our favorite spots, 632 on Hudson, to tie the knot. The affair called for little decoration; 632 is filled with antiques, vintage art and salvaged goods. The couple served an organic spread by NaturallyDelicious. We love the punch of red Kristen paird with her silk dress, handmade by the Abbatemaggio sisters (who co-own the Tribeca boutique Sorelle Firenze - Italian for Florence Sisters). 

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.

Angela Matusik, craft-maven, DIY goddess, former editor of the now defunct Budget Living and founder of Shelterrific.com, had (not surprisingly) one of the most stylish, fun, eco-friendly weddings we've seen in a long time.  Angela and (now hubby) Chad rented a barn for their 40-guest wedding.

From buying in bulk to re-using petals for a fairy tale send-off, we've rounded up ten of our favorite ways to save on flowers (hint: these ideas are all eco-friendly, too!). 

From glowing skin to hair care, we've put together a must-have check-list for every beach-bound bride. Whether you're having a wedding on the beach, or packing up for a sunny honeymoon, be sure to print out this list (on recycled paper, natch!) when shopping for your cosmetic needs.

Simple gestures can mean big savings to both you and the earth. Here are five of our favorite, easy, cost-saving ways to "go green" on your big day. 

We instantly fell in love with interior designer Carla Lane's wedding images when we  first spotted it on a mother and daughter wedding blog. And, really, we shouldn't be surprised. Lane is best known for mixing vintage items in a fresh, modern setting -- just our style! Carla and (now-husband) Pete's wedding incorporated beautiful, sustainable details throughout the event.

Michael, the owner of Mount View Hotel and Spa, a historic hotel in Calistoga, and Stephanie, an artist from New York,  recently married at a private, organic Napa Valley Vineyard in California. The couple's event planner, Jackie Jones Wilson of Enchanted Weddings, created a meaningful (and memorable) celebration by drawing on familiar cues from the couple's life; the Old World Italian style wedding was inspired by the couple's engagement (Michael proposed on a gondola in Venice). In an effort to dine family-style, Michael had a friend create a long, king-sized table from vintage wine barrels (pictured).
