Planning a Green Wedding Part 1

You may want to go completely lavish for your wedding day but this doesn’t mean that you can’t be conscious and considerate of mother earth.


Wedding are lots of fun and planning a green wedding day lends itself to getting really innovative in every way. All aspects of your wedding day can be green!

I have done a lot of research and found quite a few wedding vendors who can help you plan an eco wedding or event.
