These eco weddings make less of an impact on the environment and aren’t in excess of things that aren’t necessary...   

Eco-friendly weddings used to conjure up images of “flower power”, and hippies but the wedding industry has ebbed and flowed into a sleek and stylish way to leave a smaller footprint on the Earth while still having a glorious wedding. 

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you." - Frank Lloyd Wright.

When did we let business take over our most precious moments?    

Eco Celebrations – Weddings are community celebrations of survival through family and clan.

With today’s de-emphasis on marriage, and over-emphasis on glitz, we miss the beauty of the intimate wedding that is a symbol of our commitment to family and generational flow. But having an ‘eco’ wedding can bring back that intimate communal foundation to your married life. Or even as a second “wedding”, you can step forward into a more real and heartfelt phase of your life together.

By symbolizing what is most important to you…and not cluttering the time with unimportant symbols, you communicate your inner beauty with those who love and nurture you as a family unit.

Our actions speak louder than words in community celebrations…and your special day speaks volumes about who you are and what you stand for.

For more and more couples, getting married provides a natural time to vow to treat the planet, as well as one's spouse, with respect and love. A wedding is a time of hope for newlyweds, why shouldn't it be that for the environment, too?.
