When my husband, Barry, and I began planning our wedding in 2006, we were surprised by how difficult it was to find the eco-friendly resources we were looking for. Although there were already many green options available for everything from invitations to flowers, the information was all over the place. After months of researching I put together The Green Bride Guide, to help other eco-minded couples generate ideas and navigate through the planning process. I am proud of the book and believe it is the most comprehensive and useful green wedding book on the market. You can read an except here or get a sneak preview at Amazon.com.
However, 70% of wedding planning is done online so, in addition to the book, I wanted to offer couples a website that provided everything they needed to plan a green wedding in one place. The Green Bride Guide Online is that site. Here you can see pictures and stories from real green weddings, get wedding planning advice, and find updated links to green wedding products and services.
The team at The Green Bride Guide is working hard to improve and expand this site every day. However, the green community is a grass roots organization – where everyone’s help is needed and appreciated! Part of our mission is to create a place for like-minded couples gather and share stories, tips and experiences with one another. Help make this resource better by suggesting your favorite green products, by reviewing the goods and services already included on this site, and by contributing pictures and stories form your own event.
Your choices make a difference! When you choose to incorporate green elements in your event you increase the demand for sustainable goods and services, help raise awareness about important environmental issues and reduce your impact on the environment.
