Eco-Chic Weddings

I found this book long before Patrick and I were engaged. I knew we'd get married someday and I knew we would have an environmentally responsible wedding. So when I saw it in the bookstore, I just had to have it.

In her book, Emily Elizabeth Anderson shares ways to have a stylish, yet ecological, wedding. She suggests simple things such as skipping table cards and using seasonal flowers and more advanced tips such as hiring an organic caterer and using conflict-free jewelry, as opposed to "blood diamonds".

Eco-Chic Weddings is a must-have for any bride who cares about the earth. In fact, it is a must-have for anyone throwing a party, not just a wedding. The tips in Anderson's book ring true for any party planning. I will keep this book for a long, long time and make it a regular reference.
