About Us

Perhaps you’re wondering who we are and what we’re about.

Drawing on our backgrounds in design, environmental campaigning and complementary health, and based on our personal values, the GreenUnion team is committed to helping make your wedding a stylish and sustainable event. We aim to make it straight forward to consider the environment without compromising design for the perfect Eco-chic wedding day celebration.

Founder Rosie Ames is passionate about nature and committed to social justice since her childhood in Africa. Her background of 20 years in fashion design and on-going lifetime commitment to environmental responsibility embodies our ethos of contemporary style with a conscience. She now runs GreenUnion and her wedding planning business from Catsheys, an organic smallholding in North Devon.

Esther Maughan McLachlan is a marketing and communications specialist with a keen understanding of environmental and social issues and a personal commitment to ‘doing her bit’. A founder member of the Association of Sustainability Practitioners, Esther writes regularly on sustainable consumption for the alternative press. Her biggest disappointment is that downsizing to Devon forced her to learn to drive after 30 years on foot, bike and train.

Diana Heyer is a complementary health practitioner with a life long interest in health and wellbeing. She believes from personal, as well as professional experience, that good health and radiant beauty is much more than just skin deep and that a holistic approach to health and marriage reaps the greatest rewards.

Together we are pioneering a return to beautiful, meaningful and sustainable celebrations, in an industry which will see over 260,000 couples in the UK get married during 2008 and spending an average of over £19,000 each, totalling at least £4.6 billion annually.

We are all committed to living and working a sustainable life and while none of us claim to be perfect, we make heaps of effort to embrace the guiding principles outlined in our Green Gauge.
