An environmentally friendly or 'green' wedding does not mean you have to have your wedding barefoot in a forest. You can make simple changes in planning your event to ensure its impact on the environment is minimised, without sacrificing your idea of your perfect day. - Sally Miles, Founder, Green Wedding Guide Green Wedding Guide is a company which strives to help people reduce their impact on the environment. Weddings are one of the most important and memorable events we have in our lives, though they are often excessive and wasteful. As we move into an era where the environmental impact of what we do is at the forefront of our minds, Green Wedding Guide helps couples to create a stunning and unique event, without costing the earth. Surprisingly, almost every aspect of a wedding creates an opportunity to be more eco-friendly. From venue selection right through to transport, clothing, jewellery, beauty, flowers, gifts and even the honeymoon – there are more environmental ways to run your event. This is where Green Wedding Guide comes in. We offer advice, consulting, event management, an advertiser supplier directory, partnerships and carbon offsetting through the reputable Carbon Reduction Institute. Green Wedding Guide encourages people to embrace the small things, make simple changes and learn that by doing this; your wedding can help the environment and potentially save you money. We believe change begins with taking a few steps in a different direction. There are many easy things you can do to start to create a 'green' wedding and more often than not, this means saving you money.
