What is GreenUnion?

GreenUnion.co.uk is a comprehensive planning and resource guide offering stylish fair trade, green, organic, local and low impact alternatives.

We don't expect you to be perfectly ethical or eco. And we certainly don't expect you to compromise on quality or design.

We do believe doing one good thing is better than doing nothing at all.

From cakes to carriages, and hats to honeymoons, our community of carefully screened partners offers everything you need for a unique, contemporary and meaningful wedding.

Whether you're a novice recycler, an environmentalist, or somewhere in between, this site will help you make the choices that will go a long way towards preserving our planet. Search our wedding directory of carefully screened partners for products and services to plan a more sustainable celebration.

The cost of the average single wedding in the UK is now estimated at just over a shocking £20,000 and with an estimated 260,000 couples planning to marry in 2011/12 it seems at least £5.2 billion will be spent on weddings!

We encourage people to think about their plans in terms of true cost to both the environment and themselves, but when planning a green wedding many couples are frustrated by the difficulty of sourcing ethical suppliers and products that reflect their values.

By bringing innovative, unique and environmentally aware choices to you, we hope more weddings will tread lightly on the planet and serve as a great green start for newlyweds.

"GreenUnion is committed to offering brides, grooms, their families and friends a wide choice of products and services which help to create wonderful celebrations that won't cost the earth." Rosie Ames - Founder
