The economy is causing people to cut corners in every imaginable place…weddings are no exception. Every expense is up. People struggle to make ends meet as gas and food prices continue to rise.

Who can afford to have their dream wedding in this society?

This past year in my local area I have seen the rebirth of the backyard wedding. Everywhere I went there were signs: so and so’s wedding, wedding reception here…and all the signs were in front of houses and pointed towards backyards.

I live next door and across the street from an American Legion and a Polish Legion. Both very popular rental venues for weddings and other parties. In past years they were bustling with noise and people every weekend, sometimes everyday of the weekend with weddings and parties going on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. This summer they remained mostly quiet and empty.

Attending, coordinating or helping in any way, I enjoy being a part of the big day and my biggest satisfaction comes from knowing the bride is happy. Planning what may be the biggest party you’ve ever thrown to even the most intimate of events can simultaneously be the most exciting and stressful time of your life. While the majority of weddings occur in the Spring and Summer, many have become engaged recently, in the midst of planning a Fall or Winter wedding; or you may have reserved next year for your nuptials. In my multi-part series, I’ll highlight super stylish ways to incorporate “green” into your wedding.

One of the most sought after eco-conscious fashion designers, Deborah Lindquist is a celebrity favorite and has dressed the likes of Gwen Stefani, Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron and Pink.
