Green Guide for Weddings - Book Review
Is 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 :
- Planning your Wedding
- The Wedding Budget
- The Wedding Planners
- The Venue
- The Transport
- On The Day
- The Attire
- The Jewels
- The Beautification
- The Catering
- The Dreamy Details
- Post Wedding
- The Gift List
- The Honeymoon
- The Green Directory
- 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.

The Scented Candle Shop (Review)
I know most of you will be thinking of using candles at your wedding, maybe during your ceremony, Reception or giving to your guests as favours.
Well, I was asked to order a couple of freebie* candles from The Scented Candle Shop - I can now highly recommend them.
Their website is easy to use and the choice of candles is amazing. You can choose your candles by colour or by scent and you’ll find you will be totally spoilt for choice.
The order page is very easy to navigate and you are given the choice to not only pay by credit card but by cheque and bank transfer as well.
They will also give you free delivery on any order over £10.
I have tried two of The Scented Candle Shop Candles this weekend.
The first being a - Amoureux Rose Pillar Scented Wedding Candle (Cream)
This is a wonderful Pillar candle is sculpted with rose petals and has the most lovely but gentle rose Scent.
These wedding candles would look gorgeous as a centrepiece by themselves or placed within a flower arrangement on any guest or top table .
This candle must be seen to be believed as it is truly stunning.
The second candle is a- Colony Naturally Calming Bone China Candle Bowl - Small (Japanese Almond Blossom & Pink Pepper)
This candle is presented in a lovely china bowl and when lit the bowl glows revealing a lovely paisley design with the most amazing Calming fragrance.
This candle would make a wonderful favour to give to your wedding guest or even a lovely gift for yourself to help you relax after your big day.
Visit the The Scented Candle Shop today to see how their candles can add something to your wedding.
Take a look! I am sure you won’t be disapointed
