I picked this up at the bookstore the other night. Fun read by Emily Elizabeth Anderson. Subtitle of the book is “Simple tips to plan an environmentally friendly, socially resonsible, affordable and stylish celebration.” Whew!! that about covers all the bases!! I like the book because it is not over-the-top crazy like wear a wedding dress made from burlap. Yet, it clearly puts out some great alternatives to buying a brand new “blood diamond” and finding a different way to celebrate with style. I also like her often repeated message regarding have an elegant affair with doing less. Emily also blogs over at http://ecochicweddings.typepad.com/

I really like this book, very practical advice! Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Emily is doing much on her blog. Anyway, hopefully more people start to take at least small steps of integrating eco-friendly ideas into their wedding. There are many ways of including eco-friendly ideas subtly and still have a very elegant wedding. I try to include green ideas in my wedding planning blog (http://ourweddingplus.blogspot.com) that would be accepted by the average bride. Today, I wrote about eco-friendly honeymoons. Hopefully eco-friendly weddings catch on! I was glad to see Days of Our Lives is doing a green wedding. Maybe this will make it more acceptable.
