If you’re a bride who’s looking to have the wedding of your dreams while still being eco-friendly, this event is for you.
The Mid-Atlantic Green Wedding Showcase is happening Sunday, February 21st from 1-5pm at the Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park.
No other wedding show in the area has been designed specifically to promote green, sustainable options for couples. All exhibitors and showcase sponsors were required to complete a sustainability questionnaire outlining their green services and business practices.
You’ll find enviromentally conscience event planners, local caterers who tailor to local and organic foods, wedding services that strive to keep their businesses going green with renewable energy, responsible and renewable gifts, and eco-friendly decor services to create a beautiful ambiance.
One favorite Baltimore vendor, Local Color Flowers will be there as well. They create custom arrangements and bouquets with fresh, seasonal, sustaintable flowers from local growers.
For $20 at the door (or $10 if you buy tickets before February 1st, $15 before the 19th) you get the wedding showcase, a swag bag full of eco-goodies, the fabulous eco-fashion lounge and show, and a ticket for one free glass of local wine or beer. Unlimited water and coffee/tea will be provided to all attendees. And all attending brides will be entered in the drawing to win fab prizes!
For the groom, Dad, and the rest of the guys, they will have a Man Cave, equipped with a big-screen TV showing the big game. That’s right! Add to that a bar serving locally brewed beer and I’m sure the men won’t complain.
A portion of the door fees will be donated to participating charities.

The most effective changes you can make to your lifestyle begin, as all the best things do, at home, and the best part is these changes require nothing more than small alterations to your normal routine.
The first thing to do if you are concerned about helping the environment is think about where your food comes from.
Great article! Just as an addition, ECO-BAR will be there serving up organic cocktails with Square One Organic Vodka. One free drink ticket! Come check us out in the Eco Lounge!
