21ST CENTURY WEDDING IDEAS
It is so exciting helping with weddings in the 21st century. Americans should be proud of their new passions and ideas that we are experiencing lately. Trendy weddings can be enjoyed without breaking the bank. You can also have a more humane event and even help charities at the same time.
I helped with a wedding last month that donated money to an animal rescue group in lieu of wedding favors. Everyone received a personal photograph with an image of a rescued dog stating that a donation was made on their behalf. People were touched and really felt that they contributed to a great cause.
With this day and age of people trying to eat healthy and be animal conscious, many couples are holding vegetarian weddings. They are throwing away the silk dresses and going with a more friendly fabric. For great wedding ideas visit My Big Fat Vegan Wedding on the PETA Website.
