NEW UK Green Wedding Book

I just got wind of a new green wedding book coming out in August in the UK - How To Get Married In Green. For those of you reading this on the other side of the puddle - hopefully Suzan will have lots of local tips to share!

Simply Green - Danny Seo

Danny Seo (picture above taken from his blog Daily Danny), has often been compared to Martha Stewart. He is a clever, creative and stylish and takes DIY to the next level. He has been featured on CBS News and was named as one of the top five eco-celebs on Tree Hugger. Wherever green is becoming vogue Danny is probably afoot. Now he has two "Simply Green" books available - each with wonderful pictures and ideas that could enhance any wedding. Definitely worth picking up if you like the Anthropologie woodsy-chic look.



He also has a number of inspirational green living books:


And finally - for those who like to have a thing to do a day in calender form:

Green Weddings That Don't Cost the Earth

Green Weddings That Don’t Cost the Earth By Carol Reed-Jones (1996) is a small volume printed on rough recycled paper with soy-based ink. This book was one of the first of its kind and is very DIY die-hard - sporting tips on where to get pens for handwriting invitations and good recipes for baking your own vegan wedding cake. Certainly not for everyone, but a great read for "the barefoot hippy nut berries," as my mother would say.

Eco-Chic

Eco-Chic by Emily Elizabeth Anderson (2007) is the most current book on the market and offers number of options that were not available just a few years ago, like bamboo fiber clothing. It is organized by the "Three R" categories: reduce, reuse and recycle and offers many good green wedding planning ideas and resources.

Organic Weddings

 As the title implies, Organic Weddings: Balancing Ecology, Style, and Tradition focuses on the atmosphere of a green wedding. It has a lot of good information, but is most interesting because it offers a multitude of expect interviews, couples’ stories, and issue sidebars.
