Here is another valuable resource for anyone planning a green wedding this year.  Written by an actual green wedding consultant, it helps balance the wedding planning with green living issues.

Every year in the United States, over 2.4 million people get married, fueling a wedding industry estimated at seventy billion dollars per year. Until now, there had been no readily available help for those wanting their wedding celebrations to reflect their environmental and social awareness by balancing ecology, style and tradition.

Organic Weddings: Balancing Ecology, Style and Tradition fills this gap by providing alternatives to the excessive and synthetic wedding industry machine while still enabling couples to incorporate time-honored traditions, as well as meaningful details, that celebrate the bride and groom’s own style and values. The book presents new ideas and product information, interviews with eco-leaders, real wedding stories, and tips from eco-brides that can be readily shared with relatives and other wedding decision-makers.
