Should your cake be classically elegant or funky and fresh? Perhaps you'd like to have cupcakes, pies, or a candy bar in lieu of a cake?

Did you know that the average American wedding produces 800 pounds of garbage?

Emily Anderson, author of Eco-Chic Weddings, encourage brides to think about "the repurposeful wedding;" seeing how many things from your wedding can be used again. If you're buying fabric for tables or other decor, think about colors and patterns you can use in your home later, refashioned as curtains or pillowcases, for example.
