A wedding can be a costly event - not just for the bank balance, but also for the planet. A quarter of a million of us get hitched every year so that's an awful lot of confetti and food - and one big budget! Author Jen Marsden examines the issues and details from initial plans all the way through to the honeymoon and provides the ultimate guide to celebrating a green and ethical union. Jen Marsden, a former editor of New Consumer magazine, and an array of experts offer their experience and opinion to guide readers down the aisle in planetfriendly and ethical style. Case studies of couples who have already taken their first green steps into married life provide further insight into how to create a successful green wedding. Key questions are answered: What is an eco-friendly venue? Should you fly away for your honeymoon? How do you get the perfectly green wedding dress? You know you don't want a blood diamond on your finger - but what are the other options whilst retaining some bling? The author looks at all these aspects and more and a comprehensive directory lists the best eco suppliers and products. It's all done with a light-earted touch that guides, inspires and delights. There's no preaching here - just everything needed to make the day a great success and as green as possible. The Green Guide for Weddings is a 208-page, full-colour book printed by one of the UK's most eco-friendly printers on FSC-certified recycled paper, using vegetable inks. Each chapter includes a detailed explanation of the relevant social, ethical and environmental considerations, offering suggestions, advice and alternatives. The book also includes a comprehensive directory that covers budgeting, venues, flowers, gowns, beauty, gift lists, honeymoons and much more, ensuring readers have all the advice and information they need. About the author Jen Marsden has lived abroad and worked on various charitable, community and sustainable business projects in India, Kenya and the UK. She has edited and contributed to various ethical lifestyle publications including New Consumer. She currently lives in Edinburgh and regularly writes features on green living for national publications and works with The Green Guide as its Home & Lifestyle Editor.
