Why you should consider wearing a second-hand wedding dress For the planet Eco-friendly weddings, as predicted by Bernadette Chapman, founder of the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners (UKAWP), are one of the biggest wedding trends of the moment (and hopefully far into the future, too): 'Couples marrying now are very conscious of the damage we have done to the planet and they can actively ensure they are as environmentally friendly as they can be.'
