Eco-Chic Weddings Prove to be All the Rage with Canadian Brides
According to Posh Productions Event Planning & Design, ‘green’ weddings top this year’s list of summer wedding trends.
Calgary , Alberta, Canada, June 30, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Experts are expecting this year’s summer weddings to be ‘greener’ than ever and it’s not due to bridesmaid envy. In 2008, eco-friendly wedding planning gained popularity as happy couples opted for conflict-free diamonds and wedding dresses made from 100 percent biodegradable fabrics. This year, as wedding season gets into full swing, couples are going to even greater lengths to ensure that their special day is eco-chic, incorporating green trends into their menus, décor, wedding registry requests and more.
“When a couple plans a wedding, they get to infuse and incorporate their personality, their sense of style and their values into their big day,” said Amira Harris, lead wedding planner at Posh Productions Event Planning & Design, based in Calgary, Alberta. “Therefore, it’s a great opportunity for couples to showcase their love and respect for the environment, and it really encourages guests to think about what they can do in their everyday lives to become more responsible and conscious global citizens. It’s also rewarding for us as planners because we get to do something fantastic for both the bride and the earth.”
Posh Productions Event Planning & Design specializes in cutting-edge, innovative wedding design and planning that seamlessly incorporates the season’s latest trends and the desires and wishes of the couple to create flawless occasions. Since its launch, the company has garnered a solid reputation for its commitment to its clients, unparalleled event design and meticulous attention to details, making it one of the most sought-after firms for unique and distinctive celebrations.
The company’s staff is experienced in planning a variety of types of events, including intimate weddings and receptions and destination weddings. In recent years, the company has become a leading expert in eco-friendly wedding trends, and the premiere choice of eco-conscious brides who want help in creating stylish, memorable occasions that express their passion for the environment. From helping couples select green wedding favors their guests will love, such as seed packets and organic chocolate, to hiring top-rated organic caterers, Posh Productions Event Planning & Design excels at helping its clients achieve the eco-chic wedding of their dreams.
“Planning an eco-chic wedding can be a bit of an undertaking if you don’t have much experience with the concept, and you’re not sure what elements you can feasibly incorporate,” said Harris. “We have lots of experience planning amazing green weddings, and we can help couples make sustainable choices that will definitely help make the world a much better place, while successfully incorporating the style elements and other ideas they have in mind for their big day.”
Top eco-friendly wedding trends and elements that Posh Productions Events Planning & Design helps clients incorporate into their weddings include:
*Using local, organic food, flowers and other décor.
*Using 100 percent recycled paper for wedding invitations, wedding programs and other materials.
*Incorporating natural hues in the wedding décor, including greens and variations of brown, to bring the warmth and beauty of the outdoors into the wedding space.
*Selecting wedding venues that have a recycling policy.
*Asking guests to make donations to worthy causes and reputable nonprofits, *instead of purchasing traditional wedding gifts.
*Minimizing guests’ carbon footprints and saving gas by holding the ceremony and reception in the same venue.
*Buying a ‘recycled’ wedding gown or enlisting the help of a designer that specializes in eco-couture.
“For some brides, being eco-conscious on your wedding day may sound like you have to sacrifice your dream wedding, but that’s not true at all,” said Harris. “Some brides do opt for more scaled back events when planning a green wedding, which can be a huge money-saver. But the reality is that there are lots of ways to respect the environment and still have a wedding that will live up to your dreams and be a memorable and eternally special occasion for you, your family and all of your guests.”
In addition to helping brides and grooms create eco-friendly dream weddings, Posh Productions Events Planning & Design also specializes in helping couples make the most of their wedding budgets, ideal for clients impacted by the economic downturn. The company was recently featured in the story “Wedding Bills: A Frugal Affair”, as seen on The National.
Amira Harris is available for in-studio and phone interviews, as well as byline articles and guest columnist opportunities related to eco-friendly weddings, wedding budgeting, wedding dos and don’ts, wedding trends and other related topics.
