Being Green & One Step Ahead in the Wedding Industry.


photo by The Observatory


I find it amazing that so many people I know have been asking me for simple & quick tips about going green. I try my best to help people with a "quick tip".  However, my expertise really lies in weddings.  There are ways that I am still learning to "green" my life myself and I don't think you ever really stop learning as technology changes every day!

However, there is one large component that most people do not understand about going green.  When I finally tell them one of the biggest mysteries - their reaction is normally: "Huh?  Really?"

What is it?  Social Justice. Yes - Really!

You have heard all the buzz words: fair-trade, fair-wages, greenwashing and carbon-offsetting.  However, have you taken the time to actually read about these issues?  Even in your own daily life, there are very specific ways to help you go green.

Is your business only centered around doing weddings and making money?  Or do you give back to the community somehow?  Are you taking care of your employees?  Are you donating money or your time?

If you are an expert in your wedding "field" (in a particular city/state/country), you are probably "well known".  Most well-known wedding professionals do an enormous amount of branding and marketing. The industry is growing exponentially (especially with the advent of national wedding cable TV shows).  Almost every single wedding professional that I have spoken to over the past year has told me that competition has never been so fierce. Fears that the industry is becoming watered down by untrained wedding professionals became apparent during these past two years (while the world spiraled into a global recession).

The green economy grew and the wedding industry grew while most of the other industries in the world faltered.

Eco-Beautiful Weddings® Seminars helps the wedding professional navigate the green economy while maintaining a luxury wedding business.
