Longtime Wedding Planner Makes Way for Environmentally-Sound Nuptials
Green Wedding Planner Blog may be a new website, but its owner, Sherry Christiansen, has been a wedding planner for 10 years. Now as people are becoming more aware of reducing pollution and saving Earth's resources, Christiansen is introducing a new business model for the brides who want to wear green.
Duluth, MN (PRWEB) November 2, 2008 -- Sherry Christiansen has been planning weddings for a decade and when it came time for her own daughter to cross the marriage threshold, she had a very unique request: "My daughter is an environmental studies major and she wanted a green wedding," recalled Christiansen.
With her daughter as a pillar of inspiration, Christiansen was able to successfully plan an environmentally friendly wedding, as well as open up a new door for her wedding planning repertoire.
After months of shaping, www.GreenWeddingPlannerBlog.com launched in August 2008; the site has several options on how to make your wedding green and many times, they involve adjustments to mainstream wedding planning.
"Some people may want to utilize some services, others may go all out and want an entirely green wedding," said Christiansen. "We try to use as many local vendors and services as possible in order to conserve fuel consumption. We encourage the purchase of fair-trade diamonds. We suggest organic silk or vintage wedding dresses. For favors, we suggest using Plant-a-Tree favors. The bridal registry can be a donation to charity. The options are really limitless."
As Christiansen's website is still in its infancy, her resources are available for Florida, Lake Tahoe and Minnesota, though over time it will grow: "It's an ongoing process. I'll be adding more locations in the United States. When people choose a location, we want to be prepared. There's quite a bit of expansion in our future."
Green Wedding Planner Blog not only has the topics on having a eco-friendly wedding, but it also has several general topics about environment issues such as alternative energy and companies that are shifting their practices to be aligned with the green movement.
Though Christiansen recognizes that her latest endeavor is a niche business, her love of the outdoors is a reflection of this direction. "I felt that this is a way to give back to nature," she said. "If you have a lot of passion and believe in yourself, you can do anything."
