Bridal Designers, Shoes, Bridal Wear & Fabric, Men's Wear	Use a designer who is able to source organic, fairtrade or natural materials which haven't been subjected to any environmentally harmful chemicals. Recycle second hand clothing - these could be altered or re-styled. Hire outfits, rather than having new ones made. See our Bridal Wear designers, Lingerie , Wedding Shoes and Men's Wear Hire sections for recommended suppliers.
Accessories & Jewellery	Use companies who can offer items made with fairly traded or recycled precious metals and who use conflict free diamonds. Check that any fabrics are organic, fairtrade or natural materials which haven't been manufactured with any environmentally harmful chemicals. See our Jewellery section for recommended suppliers.
Hair & Beauty	Use hairstylists & make-up artists who use organic or natural mineral products which have no environmentally harmful ingredients. If buying your own products stick to this guideline too. See our Hair & Beauty section for recommended suppliers.
Stationery, Albums, Guestbooks	Look for products which are made with fairtrade or recycled paper/card products. See our Wedding Stationery section for recommended suppliers.
Favours	Food or plant products can be locally, organically produced or fairtrade. Paper/card products should be made with fairtrade or recycled materials. See our Wedding Favours & Gifts section for recommended suppliers.
Wedding Cakes	Check that your supplier uses free-range/organic eggs and ask if they can use organic and/or fairtrade ingredients where possible. See our Wedding Cakes  section for recommended suppliers.
Confetti	This could be organic, fairtrade or locally produced flower petals or made with recycled paper or bird friendly seeds. No real rice - really bad for birds! See our Confetti & Candles section for recommended suppliers.
Candles	Look for candles made with natural products such as bee's wax or soybean wax. Or look for fair trade products. See our Confetti & Candles section for recommended suppliers.
Flowers	Try to use florists who can source locally grown and / or organic flowers for your bouquets, button holes and venue decoration. Alternatively you could also incorporate Fair Trade flowers, available through participating florists and online stores. See our Wedding Flowers and Venue Decoration sections for recommended suppliers.
Transport	Ideally try to use a local venue to cut down on transport but if needed - use vehicles which are run on LPG or bio-diesel, or hire a horse and carriage, rickshaws or cycles. If you have a lot of guests traveling by cars it may be more eco-friendly to hire a coach to transport them all. See our Wedding Transport section for recommended suppliers.
Entertainment	Try to hire entertainment which is local to you to cut down on their traveling and try to use acoustic musicians where possible to cut down on power used. See our Wedding Entertainment & Musicians section for recommended entertainers.
Venue Decoration	Same as favours and flowers. Also use companies who hire out decoration items, such as table & chair covers, table centre peices, flowers, plants, etc... Hiring as much as you can for your wedding is a good alternative to having a lot of new items made for such a short period of use. You could also consider using artificial flower arrangements, great for reusing after the wedding or given as a gift. See our Venue Decoration section for recommended suppliers.
Catering & Beverages	Use companies who are able to supply organic, fairtrade or locally produced food and beverages. See our Catering and Wine, Champagne & Spirits sections for recommended suppliers.
Venues	Try to pick a venue which is local for you and your guests. If the venue offers catering packages check if they can use locally produced foods (or organic or fairtrade) Also try to ensure that they have eco-friendly policies in place, such as recycling, commitment to environment. See our Wedding Venues & Receptions section for recommended venues.
Marquee Hire	Try to use companies who can offer marquees made with natural canvas/materials and wooden parts from sustainable sources. See our Marquee Hire section for recommended suppliers.
Photographers and Videographers	Try to use wedding photographers and videographers who offer either digital services - cutting the use of film & processing - or those who use traditional film but are comitted to using a minimal amount of harmful chemicals and recycle/reuse materials and hardware where possible. Check if your preview images can be uploaded to a web page for viewing - you can then allow your friends/family to view them too, or on CDrom, to cut the amount of processing required. See our Photographers & Videographers section for recommended businesses.
Co-ordinators	Use planners who will source eco-friendly and / or ethical elements for your wedding. See our wedding planners section for recommended businesses.
Gift Lists	Look for a company whose product ranges are eco-friendly and ethical or (if you don't really need anything or just want to give rather than receive) sign up to one of the many charity aid giving lists - your guests would then be able to donate to your choice of good causes. See our Wedding Gift Lists and Charity Wedding Gift Lists sections for recommended businesses. If you are a guest buying for a couple see our Wedding Gifts & Accessories section too.
Insurance/Banking Products	Use finance companies who have good ethical policies - such as not being involved with any un-ethical organisations, committed to reducing their carbon emissions (not by just off-setting), recycling office waste, cutting energy use, etc.
Hen & Stag Activities	Plan a day or weekend of outdoor activities. Try to use a business with good eco-friendly/ethical policies. See our Hen & Stag Activity Organisers section for recommended businesses.
Honeymoons	Honeymoon in the UK, no air-travel, or if you wish to travel abroad why not go by train, coach or boat? If flying is unavoidable use a company which specialises in ethical and sustainable travel to destinations where the local communities will benefit and natural surroundings are preserved. Also consider volunteering type holidays - helping communities. See our Honeymoons section for recommended businesses.
