Days of Our Lives - is going GREEN!

Hayden

Hi -

I'm going to be planning my wedding for this summer and came across your awesome site! I'm environmentally minded and want to plan my event to be as green as possilbe yet still have some style - I saw this article and thought it was so appropriate that I'd share it here: The NBC daytime serial will feature a wedding with ''earth-friendly elements'' in a story line that is to begin this month and end in May with the marriage of Samantha ''Sami'' Brady (Alison Sweeney) and Lucas Roberts (Bryan Dattilo).

Ken Corday, the show's executive producer, said last month's Academy Award for the global-warming documentary ''An Inconvenient Truth'' may be an indication of ''where the world is headed and how urgently we need to address the current environmental crisis.''

It's important for the soap opera to ''fall in step in helping to raise the viewers' consciousness of certain environmental problems and solutions,'' Corday said Wednesday.

The fictional nuptials will include pesticide-free flowers and biodegradable favors. Among those involved in the ceremony are a wedding Web site and restaurant owner Ben Ford, an organic chef and son of Harrison Ford.

If there is anyone that can give me some pointers, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks!
Hayden

Hayden,

Thanks for your post about interest in green weddings and how there's a cultural change with great interest in eco-friendly weddings. By the way, we have a new advertiser on our site who has written a book exactly on this topic - eco-chic weddings. Check out their book on Amazon which you can find on the banner to the right. Hope you don't mind plugging this, but your post is so apropos to what this talented lady is offering.
