So many friends and brides asked me what I did for Earth Day. Was it some amazing project? Another free wedding for a lucky couple? Plant trees? Nope – none of the above. Well – we did go live with with the Eco-Beautiful Weddings Wedding Earth Day Mini Mag – which was fun for sure!
What I did do is talk about what Earth Day means to me to my child and together we did a couple of small things to help make the world a greener place. I also remembered how last year I was coordinating Virdina and Kevin’s wedding on Earth Day (click here to see more photos from their wedding at the Decatur House). Yes, as part of a team, we gave away a $50,000 wedding on Earth Day (for the second time) to help educate couples in the DC area that you can have a fabulous wedding that is eco-friendly and stylish. I am pretty sure the message got across as over 62% of our couples in this past year have specifically come to our firm asking for some help in going green on their wedding day.
I have a confession to make to all of our brides and grooms: all of our couples get 100% eco-friendliness from our firm. We can’t change who we are! We are green and we dig it – YEAR ROUND! Not just on Earth Day!
So – a couple of brides and vendors asked me – Why no free wedding this year? Well, the answer is simple. We were able to show a ton of brides and grooms that going green can be stylish. But on top of it – we were able to really show vendors how to go green as well. We continue to educate vendors around the world on how to go green!
So this Earth Day, I tipped my hat to Virdina and Kevin’s 1st year anniversary and reveled in the fact that they had a fabulous wedding on one of the greenest days of the year! My hope is that you are trying to plan your stylish green wedding and will look to us for guidance!
Happy Earth Day, Revisited!
