Planning your wedding is a great time to be eco-friendly.

The wedding industry has a huge impact on the global

economy and the environment. As the amount of money

spent on weddings increases each year, more and more

products and services are available for environmentally

conscious couples. From the location to the dress to the

menu, there are dozens of ways to make your wedding

beautiful and still reflect your personal beliefs in green

living. With a little creativity and inspiration, you can find

unique ways of incorporating sustainable style into your big

day. Here are some simple tips from my book Eco-Chic

Weddings to help you on your way.

What eco-details are you including in your wedding?
