5 Eco-Friendly Takes on Popular Wedding Trends

Today is Earth Day, so we're celebrating in the greenest way we know how: with some eco-friendly big day inspiration. After all, marriage is a beautiful thing! But that doesn't mean it's a pretty business all the time — it's estimated that each of the 2.5 million weddings that take place each year produces between 400 to 600 pounds of garbage and 62 tons of carbon dioxide.

Hospitalized Grandma Couldn't Attend Wedding, So Newlyweds Brought the Celebration to Her

Jamie Benjaminson and Matt Seifort got married on January 24 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but there was one special person missing at the festivities — the bride's grandmother, Pat. A week before their wedding, she fell ill and was hospitalized.

Since she couldn't watch them exchange vows at the ceremony or dance with them at the reception, the newlyweds decided to do the next best thing possible: surprise her at the hospital! Their bridal party and videographer accompanied them as well.

How to Choose Your Wedding Hashtag

Creating a hashtag for your wedding is a wonderful way to help you compile all of the images shared on social media throughout the celebration. Need some help coming up with something unique, easy to remember, and personal? Read on for expert advice!

Brainstorm

Grab your partner, and maybe even a few close friends, and a blank sheet of paper. Start writing down all the key words, phrases and names for the wedding. Think location, date, last names, first names, nicknames, etc. Chances are, you will immediately start seeing some great possibilities.

Watch: Best Man Revamps Pop Songs for Amazing Wedding Speech

Brothers by blood, friends by choice: That's the message behind Daniel Buccheri's rousing wedding tribute to his brother, Adrian, and we're still trying to wipe away all the tears!

Instead of giving a traditional best man's speech, the Melbourne-based musician decided to express how much his big bro and new sister-in-law Sarah mean to him by breaking out into song. He took six popular tunes — including "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Elton John — and rewrote the lyrics to be about the bride and groom's relationship.
