Get out your semi-formal summer attire, your romantic side and your wallet: it’s once again wedding season. This year, however, you can bring green into even the whitest wedding by foregoing the registry and picking an original gift that’s good for the environment.

While the bride and groom are inundated with soup spoons and toasters, why not give them something to help them unwind from the big day and toast not their bread, but their union. The Ceago Opulent Vintner’s Collection opens to reveal two wines (red and white, for either taste), assorted roasted nuts, fresh fruits and chocolate caramel pecan clusters — all of which are organic. Plus a bottle of biodynamic, cold-pressed olive oil to get things cooking back at home. We recommend reading up on Organic Style’s website to find out more about the benefits of biodynamic agriculture. Click here to read more

With wedding season hitting us full force this spring, we thought we would highlight one great way that eco-conscious couples could help the environment during the wedding planning craze.  If you and your fiancé(e) have all the energy-efficient appliances you need and don’t want the clutter of any more gifts, Changing the Present offers you the option of registering for charitable donations to hundreds of non-profits that support a wide range of causes.  Whether your passion is the environment, international health, or human rights, you and your soon-to-be can personalize your wishlist by adding commentary to the causes you choose.  For example, your family and friends will want to know that you met surfing on your favorite beach and that’s why you want them to help the National Resources Defense Council prevent the contamination of local beach areas.  Charitable gifts range from a modest $5 to an eye-popping $1,000, so guests from all walks of life can comfortably choose a donation to fit their respective budgets.  For more information, visit www.changingthepresent.org.
