Enough time has passed that I can now talk about wedding venues without that dull, throbbing ache appearing somewhere around my temples. Having only recently moved back to the UK after an 8 year hiatus in Australia, and living many miles from my family home, there was no beautiful building I was just dying to [...]
I can honestly say that our relationship can be split into two parts: the blissful two years up to the proposal… and the hectic 3.5 months since! If I could have chosen one place in the world to fall in love, it would have been Woodford Folk Festival. Living in Brisbane, Australia, since 2000 (and [...]
We’re thrilled to be able to welcome our third blogger bride in as many weeks to give us all their green wedding gossip here on the Ethical Weddings blog. Em & Lachie are getting married in Cumbria this June and are keen to share some of their ethical wedding planning stories with us before the [...]
I’m afraid I’ve been dreadfully remiss; I encouraged our lovely new blogger bride, Laura, to get posting without actually introducing her to you first! So here goes… Laura is perfectly placed – or perhaps under pressure! – to create a great green wedding as the founder of green travel business, Ecoescape (well, at least the green [...]
My free-range hen party is nearly upon us, and I have just been getting the last details organised. My creative friends Lucie and Jo are all prepared to give us a fun jewellery workshop and have come up with loads of special pieces they can demonstrate and help us to make. I have ordered all the [...]

Woman’s Own Dream Weddings are on the lookout for a bride who has already celebrated her glorious green day in an ethical way ideally this year but 2006 would be great too. Their perfect match is a sophisticated woman of 35 plus who managed to maintain both ethics and glamour while tying the knot. If [...]
After our post on ethical weddings in Europe The Killing dvdrip the other day, we were chuffed to receive an email from a Norwegian bride, happy to share her ethical wedding experience with us. Over to Torhild… “I’m Norwegian and have been subscribing to your newsletter since spring. I got married August 11th, and it was [...]
Europe is going great guns for green weddings at the moment! Over the last few months, we’ve had curious queries from all over Europe but particularly France and Spain (handy for me as I studied French and Spanish!), with ethical weddings featuring in publications ranging from ‘Femme Actuelle’ (a women’s magazine) to financial Spanish newspaper, [...]
I have been neglecting our little Ethical Weddings blog woefully over the last few weeks. First gallivanting (sustainably, by train!) to Spain, then living it up – or rather chilling out – at The End of the Road Festival these past few days, celebrating the end of our short-lived summer (read all about the fest’ [...]
