The UK's 1st Green Wedding Show

It’s been a whirlwind few weeks since getting back from honeymoon with a big build up to a really exciting event that was held 19th October – “The Lovely Green Wedding Show”.



The show was the UK's 1st Green Wedding Event so I was really excited to be one of the oganisers alongside Dee Grismond from Cherry Gorgeous and Claire Ellis from Weddings and Wellies. And doubly proud that the we managed to put Yorkshire on the map in leading the way with the green wedding movement as the focus is normally based down south. There are lots of pictures and some info about the event on the show’s website – LOVELY GREEN WEDDINGS.

A huge thank you to all of the amazing suppliers who helped make the day such a success – you can find out all about them on the website too. We were delighted to be joined by the BBC who were filming for the next series of “It’s Not Easy Being Green” to be aired next February.

Our key motivation for the event was to showcase some of Yorkshire’s finest green innovators and demonstrate that it is easy to incorporate green ideas into your wedding planning. Equally, there was the desire to prove that wedding shows don’t have to be boring hard sell experiences – feedback from guests has been amazing all saying they really appreciated having time to really chat with suppliers who were on their wave length and weren’t pushing their services. We’re determined that there will be another Lovely Green Weddings event in 2009 so do watch my website and blog for more details and if you’re a supplier with green credentials who might be interested in exhibiting at the next show please just drop me a line – over and out….
