I am a professional Wedding and Event Florist, I was hoping this book would give me some NEW ideas for my, “Green” brides, but it was very basic and didn’t have anything new to offer. The front cover photo is the best one in the whole book. Don’t bother, and save your money!

This book is cleverly written, yet down to earth at the same time. It is full of ideas that are practical, original and actionable, with suggestions of ways to green your wedding – or really any event – in ways that are both large and small. It gave me ideas that I now even apply to my family BBQs here at home. I found in a very entertaining read…at times a little tongue-in-cheek which made it even more of a pleasure. The layout and photography are sleek, modern and stunning; this is a beautiful book. A wonderful resource!

This is the best book on Green Weddings yet. We the readers are lucky that Ms. Navarro is a very well respected journalist for The New York Times. Her descriptions, her prose are all very concise, direct and to the point. Chock full of “reporting”, always providing different examples and alternatives to every aspect of this very special occasion. Buy this 5-star book and have a 5-star Green Wedding!

“Green Wedding” is a useful and educational how-to. The wedding planning ideas are detailed, practical and creative; the photos are fabulous. And for someone new to green living, the book gives a good explanation of what it means to live a green lifestyle.

I just read “Green Wedding” to get ideas for a friend’s ceremony and I loved the book. To make her points, Navarro tells the stories of several actual weddings for which the participants and planners tried to make environmentally responsible decisions, and her narratives are very down-to-earth and believable. Navarro provides dozens of photographs of these individuals and ceremonies, making her stories that much more compelling and authentic. The book is beautifully written, as you would expect from a New York Times reporter. Without being didactic, Navarro makes the case not just for green weddings, but for adopting eco-friendly lifestyles in general.
