You already know that the Lovegevity Wedding Planning Institute is the No. 1 place to turn when you want to begin a career as an event and wedding coordinator. But did you know that Lovegevity also offers a Green Wedding Planning Course? Going green is all the rage these days, and it’s with good reason: Doing so can be an affordable option for many weddings - especially for DIY brides - and it can leave everyone involved with a feeling of environmental responsibility. Environmentally friendly wedding ideas are exploding all over the U.S., and the Internet has a wealth of information on “going green.” As Lovegevity says, “A green wedding is a celebration of awareness. At a green wedding, a couple is not just affirming their commitment to one another, they are also affirming their commitment to a sustainable life together - one that takes the needs to the environment and future generations into account.”

Lovegevity’s Green Wedding Certification Course comes from a class designed by Kate Harrison and her book, The Green Bride. Harrison graduated from Vassar with a major in Environmental Conservation and Sustainable Development. She wrote The Green Bride after she and her husband, Barry, planned their own green wedding in 2007.

What are some ways you can turn a wedding “green?” Have you had any brides offer suggestions to make their weddings more environmentally sustainable?

Wedding day memories are in the details. The ability of the Certified Wedding Planner to create signature events that match the dreams and desires of the client determines whether those memories are joyous and lasting or mundane and fleeting.

A couple’s wedding signature incorporates their personal interests and culture into the ceremony and other pre- and post-wedding events. By learning how to create a wedding day that is specifically personal and unique, you position your business to stand out.

The Wedding Planning Institute’s new Wedding Styles, Signatures, & Themes online course will teach you the art and science of developing signature weddings utilizing industry tools, techniques, and formulas. Throughout the course, you will develop a signature wedding portfolio to draw from and add to as you help couples realize their wedding day dreams.

Your online instructor, Marci Bridgeford, is a twenty-year veteran of the design and service industry. “This course will teach you how to weave your client’s personalities, likes, and desires throughout your event to create a customized, one-of-a-kind feel that leaves everyone talking for years to come,” says Marci.
