Green Guide for Weddings – Book Review

Green Guide to WeddingsIs having a ‘Green’ wedding important to you?

If you are one of the growing number of people who want to preserve and protect our environment, then having a green wedding is a must.

I have just finished reading the ‘Green Guide for Weddings’  by Jen Marsden and thought I would tell you a little about the book…

Before I start I should point out that Katherine is listed in the Acknowledgements and Wedding Chaos is quoted numerous times throughout the book – but I can assure you that by contributing towards the book we are in no way bias :)

The book is over 200 pages long and covers all aspects of getting married, the main sections are :

  1. Planning your Wedding
    1. The Wedding Budget
    2. The Wedding Planners
    3. The Venue
    4. The Transport
  2. On The Day
    1. The Attire
    2. The Jewels
    3. The Beautification
    4. The Catering
    5. The Dreamy Details
  3. Post Wedding
    1. The Gift List
    2. The Honeymoon
  4. The Green Directory
    1. Suppliers and Businesses who focus on being Green.

Each section take a look at the issues and offers  practical advice and suggestions on how to be as green as possible.  There is a wealth of information that is not only useful, but also interesting to read.

The book is littered with tips and ideas from professionals working within the wedding industry and the book concludes by listing loads of green companies who can help make you wedding a green one.

I found this book to be both an interesting and informative read – and I’m not even planning a wedding – so if you are in the planning stages, and you do want to be green, I can’t think of a better source of information.

    What a great idea for a book – as a wedding supplier I see loads of waste at events, which is a shame. A little thought can save money as well as the environment.

    My business, probably doesn’t have the greatest impact on the planet, but I’m trying my best to reduce my carbon footprint and make other environmental improvements. And from the feedback I get, it’s all positive.
    Thanks, David
