With the average wedding producing 400 pounds of garbage and 63 tons of Co2, it's not surprising that we are seeing more and more couples looking to plan a wedding that minimizes resources used and pollution.


During the segment we offered tips to help you have a greener wedding, focusing on your wedding dress, your invitations, flowers and favours. Check out the video of the segment and our tips below, or an extended top 10 list on abc15.com!

Wedding Advice: Opinion Management

TAGS: DISTINCT OCCASIONS, WEDDING ADVICE, WEDDING TIPS, OPINION MANAGEMENT

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has an opinion on my big day! How can I politely tell them to butt out?


There is no polite way to tell someone that their ideas, opinions, or advice just don't apply to you. Instead of telling the Know-It-Alls to butt out, be gracious and tactful in your dealings with them.


Throughout your engagement you'll be faced with every type of advice giver including; vendors whose advice and opinions you solicit, married friends and family who freely give advice (thinking they're being helpful) even if you didn’t ask them for it, and smug singles who think they’re smarter because of their "choice" to not be married.
