  Expanding the Options

This book is a great combination of inspiration and pratical information on wedding planning.
While suggesting ways to plan a more eco-friendly event, it's impressively non-preachy or prescriptive. Several couples are profiled (full disclosure: including myself and my husband), and the variety of approaches shows the many alternatives that exist beyond the conventional offerings of the wedding industry.
As a subject for the book I was concerned about not being "organic enough" to be included, but now seeing the complete version I realize there's no set ideal. Kozin's focus is on how to joyfully incorporate some of your shared values into your wedding.
In sum: I wish we had it when my husband and I were planning our wedding!
 
  The Important Word is Balance

This book is great because it gives suggestions for everyone, but reminds you to pick and choose what you can. You have to make a lot of decisions in planning your wedding and the saddest decision would be to ignore ecological choices all together because they seem too difficult. One thoughtful choice can go a long way and this book offers many to choose from.
