Rockn Roll Weddings, so green

I am always on about Green being a philosophy not just a new shopping list or worse, a list of must do's. The militant green scene carries their corn cob on a biodegradable plate to the banquet table covered with recyclable news paper, that's one way. But allowing the thought of "lush" to animate our brain cells must not end in Million Dollar Platinum weddings, where waste is Wollust. We don't have to party in grand pa's back yard afraid to keep all of our pennies in the jar.

The new couple adventures out into amazing venues...finds the attractive transport... goes passionate for vintage on many levels.

Reduce as in "make small" is cool and keeps us cool but going wild can still be eco and becomes the new cool. Re-use old stuff is a trip into unknown lands and those one-of-kind photos which follow beat a traditional hotel and conventional pomp weddings by far.

Producing earth hugging weddings since 2005 I found that DIY weddings are inherently eco, hippies have never veered away from it and creativity just screams green. Now we can add the rock'n roll weddings to the naturally planet friendly. Chucks were elevated to spicing up the traditional and they are, yes, vegan.




Partying in nature, old barns and closed movie theatres,

non-traditional couples integrate found objects, travel from flea market to thrift store to find the rock'n decor, the unique stuff of life. Vintage is big in the scene and re-use is high on their list.



Color is loved by weddings that shake the box.



It's a rocking green world.
